Virgin.net

Is there a way to get my old virgin.net account back? I switched to Virgin Media from 2018-2022 especially for this, but nobody knew anything about this (virgin.net accounts) and couldn't help.

    Not true - virgin.net is still a valid email domain.  However if the address has already been deleted from Virgin's System then it's impossible to get that address back.  Prior to Virgin Media closing down the creation of new emails, the only emails that were able to be added were virginmedia.com since 2013 and even with these, you couldn't create a new email with an email that had EVER existed previously.

    Miroandrej If you try sending an email to the virgin.net address in question - and don't post the full address on open Forum - Do you get a rejection message?
