Was told an adapter would arrive after landline stopped, then shortly after, received an email telling me my account isn't ready yet. The home phone is the only number for some people, so any idea how long I must wait?
Thanks.

Hi @Data,
Thank you for coming back to me via private message and confirming your details. I have now booked you a technician visit for your landline and broadband issue – you can check and amend the date and time of your appointment via your online account.
There will be no charge for this visit unless:
• The technician diagnoses the faults as not being caused by our network/equipment
• The technician discovers that the fault or problem relates to your equipment
• The technician discovers that the fault or problem relates to any system that we are not responsible for
The technician will confirm during their visit if any of these instances apply, and if so, a £25 charge will be applied to your account.
Please ensure there is someone over the age of 18 present at the time of the visit. If you need to change or cancel your appointment you can do this online or via the MyVM app by 4pm the day before the appointment.
If you do miss an agreed appointment for any reason, a £25 missed appointment charge will be applied to your account on the day of the appointment.
Please keep us updated on how your appointment goes and if you need any further assistance.
Thank you.

Hi @Data,
Welcome back to our Community Forums! Thank you for your post and I'm very sorry to hear that you've not received your landline adaptor for our Home Phone Switchover yet!
I'll be more than happy to help and order one for you so that you can re-connect your landline service! I'll send you a Private Message to confirm a few details.
Please keep an eye out for a purple envelope at the top right corner of your Forum page. I'll be in touch soon.
Thank you.

I now have the 'adapter', but the phone service at the hub is disabled, so no function. There is a QR scan code, but with which app? There are no instructions other than that. Going to the help pages on VM's site is no use as it doesn't even cover the IP phone (fibre phone) changeover, and there are a lot of people on this board in a similar position who are stuck and had no warning.

Hello Ayisha,
Unfortunately no, the hub needs to have the phone service activated from Virgin themselves.

I'd like to take a closer look into this so will pop you a PM now to confirm some details and we can take it from there.
Speak soon!
