Virgin.net email locked

@SueAgnew

To use legacy email you need a VM broadband account. The phone account will not have been connected to it.  You will need to get a new email address.

Virginmedia has nothing to do with other Virgin products. The US company that owns the company just pays to use the Virgin brand. 

Hi SueAgnew

Thank you for your post and welcome to our community. 

We are sorry to hear about the issues you are having with your virgin.net email account.

As jpeg1 has advised, email accounts need to be linked to an active broadband account with us to remain active.

If it is not, these are closed within 90 days however there has been instances where email accounts have remained active much longer in error.

What is the message you receive when you try to log into the account please?

Please pop back to us when you can. 

I have been battling for well over 10 years to get VM email accounts reinstated. I have lost money on not being able to access other sites that I used the email for a login and the only way of logging in is using the email address because it sends a 2FA code which now goes to a dead VM email address. I only needed it reinstated to change it to something else.

This with Virgin's semi stealth forced upgrades in speed then increasing the monthly bill later which now is £79 for the 1Gb package I have to leave after 23 years. It was Blueyonder when I fist had it, Strange how they keep the primary Blueyonder email address working all this time but the virgin.net and virginmedia,con just get deleted or disabled.

I now can get another provider 900Mbs both up and down on a £29 offer for 2 years (VM 1GB down 50Mb up)

The latest joke from them when forced upgrading me from 500Mbs to 1Gb was sending a contract to the virgin.net account.THEY deleted.

Bye Virgin you should have sorted my email out.

BTW I have gone through the support thing many times over the years with no resolution. And putting RESOLVED on my posts which seem to have now been deleted is a lie.
