password for telephone support

[duke_sc]

Hi,

How do I change the password I'm asked when I phone 150 for support?  It seems to be different from the one I use when I log in to the virginmedia.com site, but I can't find where to change it for when I phone virginmedia with a problem.

I just had to make a support call and when asked for the usual 1st 3rd and 5th character the guy said I'd given him the wrong replies.  Of course it may just be that he didn't understand what I was saying.

Cheers,

Robert

Your MVM password has nothing to do with your account password.

Your account password has to be changed by customer services, as it only comes up on their systems.

Hi,

So how do I do that when they insist on the password before tatalki to me?

Wrong password will still put you through but you will go through an alternative validation process to confirm you are the account holder.

Hello is it possible to get my reminder sent out in the post also please? I’ve recently ordered a phone with you and I’m wanting to change my contract to the option with AirPods and by ringing and texting I’m getting nowhere. They keep asking me for certain characters of a password.. I’ve only set up a password for the virgin mobile but they keep telling me my characters are wrong so I have no idea on what password it is.  Also do you know if I have to wait for my phone to be delivered first before I can just swap over my contract or will they have to cancel it and start from scratch 

thanks for your help
