Hi all, 

I booked a quick install but unfortunately we don't have a wall socket, silly mistake but what's the best way of going about booking in an engineer? I was on the phone for 40 minutes & transferred 3 times, each time as an external call so I had to re-verify which was quite frustrating. If I do need to call again, what's the best number to go direct with, so I don't end up being transferred left right and centre again? Thanks for any help you can provide!

Call the pre-installation and delivery team on 0800 052 1734

Have you checked to make sure there is no other kind of connection? Sometimes there is no wall box, just a trailing cable. The cable could be hidden within, or behind, furniture. Occasionally only a very short stub of wire is left behind often hidden within a blanked-off fitting. The wall box may be branded with the logos of an old cable TV company (not VM). Past occupiers of your property may have removed the cable and sometimes they are removed by other installers, such as satellite TV techs.

If you have a plastic omnibox outside on the wall (where the VM cable comes in from the street) see if you can trace any wires from that into your home.

If no luck, call the number above for a tech installation.
