Unable to reply to a Virgin Media text

[Akna]

I’m a new customer (broadband, tv and tel)  and got a text from virgin 86002 re a engineer to resolve a connectivity issue

I need to reply to the text with “CONFIRM” to confirm the appointment slot but this message gets not delivered as I get the “message send failure” reply on every try.

I have non virgin mobile. Has no issues sending text from my phone. 

Please fix as I do not want the appointment cancelled as we are without broadband currently. 

TIA

Longshot.....

Check for known faults as below - as all Tech visits get auto-cancelled when there is a known issue - if there is one - you need to wait until its fixed and see if the problew persists and if so, then book the Tech again

1) Try the “check service,”Area status webpage" (link at top right of this forum)

2) Then also try the “free & automated” Service Status number - 0800 561 0061 - which usually gives the most up to date info. and tells you of more local issues down to street cab/ postcode level.
