Hi,
Reading the news today it is saying Netflix is now free on certain top packages including Ultimate Volt.
I am on this package but when I try to activate membership it is only offering paid membership.
How can I get the free access please?

Well, it turns out that I could (almost) have held my breath!
I received an email yesterday from VM (streamingservices@virginmedia.co.uk) with a link to Netflix in it, including what I assume to be a personal token.
When I followed this link (on my mobile phone) it took me to Netflix and the billing information looked slightly different - referencing Virgin, but that standard was included (IIRC).
I completed the steps and Netflix is back on as it should be (at least for now).
So for reference:
Hope this gives anyone else who's stuck an idea....
Cheers
John

Hi,
I have called virgin twice now this morning and tried varying menu options I cannot find a streaming services phone menu option?

I've also tried to find it again and cannot. Either it has changed - or I can't recall the route through.
You could try going through to the option about activating a new service and then any other help.
For me this was:
1 TV, BB, Home Phone
Calling from mobile press 1 to confirm post code
1 - VM Services
3 - New Install
4 - Any other questions
Password
I'm sure this isn't the route I took, but you are trying to activate a 'new service'.

Had conversation with vm today who told me that Netflix not included in bundle as contract agreed BEFORE Mar 22. After that date does include Netflix. Explained that my new contract includes £28 for O2 SIM which I don't need or want and that total cost now 30% higher than Jan charges. Operator stonewalled me saying that I agreed to contract so won't help. Still having to pay £7 for Netflix. Can't get out of contract till June next year. Great customer service for a customer of around 20 yrs.

cant advise on the £7 netflix problem (i thought you just had to agree to a new contract if you had an earlier contract) but if you have the 1gig volt then you would have agreed to the O2 sim card as its apart of the package. When i agreed to the O2 sim it was £25 BUT will increase in Mar/Apr every year with the RPI or something like that.
If you really want netflix, try again with another operator or speak to retentions as they seem to have better knowledge with their systems, but i doubt you will get anywhere with the o2 sim with o2 as you must have agreed to it
