Can't register online - no security question

[aminakn]

I'm trying to register for a virgin mobile account but it's asking me for the answer to a security question. I haven't set up a security question before plus there is no question on display for me to answer, it's just asking for an answer so I do not know to continue and register.

I have the same problem. I never received one of the new replacement SIMs that are being issued, as it was sent to an incorrect address. I'm therefore trying to create a new mobile account to register my correct address.

I tried using the forgotten email address/password option, but it informs me there is no account linked to my phone number and asks me to create a new account. I'm then asked for a security question which was never set up, and told to call the helpline. The helpline has a recorded message stating demand is higher than usual due to the COVID-19 situation, so after a few minutes I gave up.

I received another text message from Virgin this morning stating any existing older SIMs would be turned off at some point in the near future, so would like to get this sorted sooner rather than later! If anyone on here can help me out it would be appreciated!!

Hi bradders, 

not sure if it will work for you, but when I set mine up I used the same email address as the one for My Virgin Media, and I capitalised the first letter of my normal password. It then let me go ahead and register.

Hope it works for you.

Hey Dave,

i tried that plus my details for my virgin media account but no luck.

Sorry Bradders,

I must have been extra lucky.

Best bet is to sit tight and wait  for a member of the Forum Staff to pick this up for you

Hi, I’m having the same problem as most people here, I signed up for the Oomph sim, but when i come to register my account online it's asking for a security question but I have never set one up. I rang 789 but it told me to go to the website, so I need some help.

Thanks

James
