Hi there
I've just received an email informing me that my Virgin.net will be closing next week.
I work for Virgin Atlantic and have had this email address for decades! Is there anyway I can somehow keep my Virgin.net email account?
Many thanks

The only way is if you have a VirginMedia broadband account that is held in the same name as the orphaned virgin.net email address.
I'm a Very Insightful Person, I'm here to share knowledge, I don't work for Virgin Media, I'm a VM customer. There are no guarantees that my advice will work. Please read the FAQs

Virginmedia has no connection with any other Virgin company, apart from the V word.

Ring Virgin and put in a formal complaint. I am currently on hold for the second night in a row. Waiting for a manager to call back. Absolute disgrace.

Hi @tdl747 👋
Welcome back to our Community Forums and thanks for your post.
The mailbox needs to be linked to an active broadband service otherwise it will be removed unfortunately.
If you have a current and active service with us in the same name, let me know and I can assist in transferring the impacted mailbox over.

Hi Ayisha
Many thanks for your response. I need to keep this mailbox, but unfortunately I can't get Virgin Media broadband in my area. What other alternatives can you offer please?
Kindest,

Thanks for your time via PM @tdl747
We're sorry we were unable to assist further with transferring your mailbox due to you not having a current and active service with us.
Before you do lose the mailbox, please ensure you:
• Send any important emails or contacts to another email address.
• Save any attachments you want to keep to your computer or device.
• Let all your contacts know about your new email address.
All the best.
