How do I keep my landline number
Hi My landline/TV/Broadband contract terminates and I will be disconnected in 4 weeks. What do I need to do to keep my landline number? When I spoke to the agent he didn't mention anything about this and I didn't think to ask. Is it like changing your mobile phone contract - do I need a code to give to the new provider? I know I should call 150 and ask, but it is such a chore and I always find these forums to be easier. Cheers.

Hi Virgin Media Community, I’m posting here as a last resort after struggling to get proper support. My Virgin Media landline has been completely dead since 17th June 2025. When calling the number, it just says “We cannot take your call now.” However, when I log into my account, it shows a green tick and says “No known issues” with the landline. I’ve tried calling the support number 0800 052 2164 but couldn’t get through to anyone — the options keep looping me around with no way to speak to a human. This landline is essential as it’s used by my elderly mother, and we need it restored urgently. Package: M50 Fibre Broadband Maxit TV Talk More Anytime Approx. £85/month I’ve already: Logged a formal complaint through your website Contacted Virgin Media on WhatsApp, but still awaiting resolution Can someone from the Forum Team please help escalate this and get it fixed? If a technician visit is needed, I’m happy to arrange it. Also, I’d like a credit or refund for the time the phone line has been unavailable. Thanks in advance, Deepak156Views0likes10CommentsStill waiting for number transfer after 2months of new account
Hi, I am hoping if there is anybody from the virgin media back office teams who can help me as I am getting nowhere with the front line customer services. I have taken out a new Virgin Media account after my daughters account ended and she did not want to renew . This is a completely new account, and I requested the landline be kept and transferred over to my new account. After two months I chased this up again with customers services and have just been told this cannot be done which is a surprise as I was told it could when ordering the account. Any help would be greatly appreciated as I have missed important calls from relatives and hospital while waiting for the transfer35Views0likes5CommentsComplete Failure in Service
Hello, I am writing regarding the wifi at my house. We recently upgraded our broadband plan 3 or so weeks ago to the highest we can Gig1 service with a new hub 5 and it has been an abhorrent experience. For 3 weeks consistently there have been drops and disconnections from the internet. Too many times I have called regarding this. The internet went down about 5 times within an hour timeframe last Saturday and upon calling virgin to resolve this, your representative scheduled a technician to come today and I quote from the mouth of your representative “GUARANTEED” that our wifi problem would be solved. Not only was that a blatant lie, the wifi is now completely not connected to the internet, it is no longer intermittent on and off, it is completely off. Technicians have come twice to check connections install new routers and said everything should be fine but that is not the case. In addition, the house landline is no longer able to make calls and certain channels on the tv no longer show. NOT ONLY THAT, but I work from home! I have lost an entire day of work today due to virgin media’s poor service and I now must deal with the consequences with my superiors. The longer our virgin wifi is down the more my job is at risk! It is not just my livelihood that depends on good wifi, but my grandparents, who are both OVER 90 YEARS OLD and require reliable and fast wifi and service for communication in the event of a medical emergency, which is now at risk. What happens if there is a serious medical emergency in this heat and no one can call an emergency contact or an ambulance and it's too late? Shall I send virgin the funeral bill at that point? I demand a resolution to this immediately as we are paying the most and receiving less than the bare minimum. Should this matter not be resolved we will have no choice but to escalate this matter. I expect a response with haste43Views0likes2CommentsLandline fault of vulnerable person!
Mother-in-law is in her late 80's and relies on phone for contact with family and carers. She has a Telecare falls monitor but I believe that is working off a mobile signal. There is no dial tone at the house and if you ring the number it shows as engaged constantly. There doesn't appear to be a fault with the phone handset, it seems to be a problem with the line. I checked online and no faults have been recorded in her area, but I cannot find anywhere on the Virgin Media site to report a simple line phone fault without going into account holder details. I've have contacted 150 but the AI sends you around in circles trying the different options. When I finally get through to an operator, they can't find her account, then tell me their carrying out line checks, only to be disconnected after 25 mins. Could I have some help please?25Views0likes1CommentI need to change my VM landline number
I've had my landline since around 2000 but need to change it as I've been getting quite a few calls over the past year or more from members of the public asking for an institute handling mental health! I don't know if there's a fault in the line but when I called the institute in question, they suggest I contact VM and ask to get my number changed. If someone could help me that would be great. I tried calling the 150 from my landline but the options aren't very helpful or relevant. Thank you.56Views0likes4CommentsLine cord error - tried different phones and also plugging phone line into router - please help
Hi, as per title my landline has stopped working and get a line cord error. Initially I thought the home phone had broke, so brought a replacement but that doesn’t work either. I then did some research online and it was suggested the landline needs to be plugged directly into the Virgin router rather than wall socket - so brought an RJ11 adapter, but problem still persists. I did report issue with Virgin media 3 days ago, but not heard back, and quite frankly the support teams seemed more interested in getting me to renew my contract, rather than resolving issue :o(Solved94Views0likes5CommentsTelephone disabled in new Hub 3
I recently received a replacement Hub 3 for one that was showing a solid red light, but I've just discovered that the phone is not working. History, the red red light appeared on the old Hub 3 about Jan/Feb 2024 and it came with some WiFi issues intermittent loss of signal/slow down in speed/loss of internet. So I brought myself a router and switched the Hub 3 to modem mode. And everything worked. This year my contract was up in May and I finally got around to getting a replacement. The first one to turn up was damaged in transit (There was something loose inside the Hub). The second turned up I plugged it in changed the password and switched to Modem Mode. And then I went away on holiday. Today I go to use the phone and no dial tone. Signed into the Hub settings and it says Telephony (Disabled) Is that because the Hub is in Modem mode, or is there another problem? Thank you for your help104Views0likes14CommentsLandline Crackling/Static noise.
Good evening. For the past 4 days we have had no dial tone on the landline phone so i purchased just a basic phone to check the line and all i am hearing is crackling then it goes dead then back to crackling. The phone is plugged into the master socket and their are no extensions from it. Also have checked the service status page and it says there is no issues with phones in my area. Thank you.55Views0likes5Comments
