I am having a nightmare with getting my Netflix activated. I'm an ultimate volt customer and when the offer was lauched I chatted on Whatsapp with VM to add Netflix to my account. This involved taking out a new contract which has been emailed to me.
I was told I would receive a email with a link to activate Netflix within 24. This didn't arrive. I chatted again via WhatsApp and was this time told I would receive an email within 48 hours. Again this didn't arrive.
In the meantime I had a Netflix tab appear on my virgin media account on the website, with an activation button to click. When I click on this I get an error message saying try again later or try via set top box.
I have had three phone calls to VM help. One said this is a problem that is affecting some customers but offered no solution.
One told me to set up netflix and take a subscription to pay via Virgin Media bill. He said that no money would be taken as I have it included in my package. I did this, and then received an email from Netflix cancelling my membership as the "account could not be billed through virgin media."
I have had another phone call with VM help. They had me clear my cache and cookies. Disconnect my modem from my TV. Try from my phone, a laptop and via the V360 box.
I still cannot get access to Netflix. Has anybody else had this problem and is there a solution. I'm sick of spending hours on the phone, repeating myself, and still getting nowhere.

Just to set expectations I emailed the CEO about 4 weeks ago and apart from a couple of random emails did not have anyone contact me directly.

Hey necs, I have sent you a PM about this issues.
Has it come through at all?
Can you see a purple envelope in the top right? Thanks

It’s a dodgy company
and just look at the message form Matt again! No shame really. I would be horrified if I am in his position but he seriously has no shame

Same old questions to confirm I am the account holder - it's becoming farcical now!

Just to add to the growing list, still no activation email and no Netflix tab/icon on my Virgin Media page either.

Out of nowhere and just as I was launching my scathing email to the CEO, everything just worked!
I went on Netflix app via the virgin tv box and it said that I have Netflix through my virgin subscription and presented me with my email and asked for a new password !
all set and working
only took 6 weeks….

Mine worked for a day!
I hope this is permanent!
