Use Virgin Media Wifi Hotspot On Mac?

[H4MZ4]

Currently away from home and I notice a VM hotspot near me, so it's quite useful to think I could grab a temp connection. Only problem is, my phone (with the app) doesn't see the wifi hotspot since its probably a little too far, however my Mac sees it perfectly.

Is it possible to connect to then VM wifi hotspots on non phones? Seems like it asks for a user and password when I try to connect.

"Maybe the phone is working on the cell"

no, why would you suggest that, a completely unhelpful reply.

Hi There,

I know these details work if you ar e a virgin MEDIA customer, but what about if you are a virgin MOBILE customer? Do you have to authenticate using the sim, or is there a similar login to vmedwifi that can be used for virgin mobile customers?

Thanks!

Tom

Hi iliketrainz98,

Thanks for posting and welcome back to the community!

You should also be able to use our Hotspot service if you are a standalone Mobile customer.

Download our VMConnect app and allocate your profile.

From there you should be able to access our Hotspots.

Thanks,
