Changing O2 tariff
I have the VM Mega Volt bundle and a pay monthly O2 SIM card. The O2 tariff is £20 a month and I can find a better one on uSwitch for half that. However, when I go to buy that deal, it logs me into my O2 account and shows a warning that I will lose Volt benefits, including the zone 2 roaming, which I want to keep. There is confusing information online, some people saying you only need VM and an O2 account registered at the same address to qualify for Volt benefits, others saying the benefits might disappear but will be reactivated within 14 days. Does anyone know how this actually works? Can I proceed with the O2 tariff change without the risk of losing Volt benefits?
Order a Volt sim but no sign of order
I have Virgin Media services for the past 2 years and my phone contract expires tomorrow. I don't need a new phone so thought it would be easier to get a sim only deal. I opened the Virgin Media app and handily enough, there was a deal for a Volt Sim with unlimited data for £15 a month, with the first 3 months free on a Black Friday deal. I tried to order the Volt Sim through the Virgin Media app which failed when putting in my previous address so I then ordered through the website on my laptop where the same deal was available. I then received a confirmation email with an order reference number from Virgin Media web team however, I have heard nothing since ordering. Order reference: CH2124753682. I have called both Virgin and O2 and neither have any record of this order number. Is there any way I can find out what has happened to the order?O2 price rise
Hi, I am a Volt customer. Have had the email from O2 about their price rise from April next year. Will go from an extra £1.80 to £2.50 a month. If I leave O2 what are the implications for the Virgin side of it? I have heard you keep the boosted broadband (but no idea how long for) but have also heard that although that might be the case the cost of the broadband might go up to account for leaving O2. In which case it might be down to whether the O2 rise is less than the potential Virgin broadband rise!Creating an app password for a secondary account.
Hello, I have a blueyonder email address and want to set it up on my new phone on the Outlook app. I cannot see a way of accessing the app password with the new O2 sign in system. My account is a secondary account - my father is the main account holder. I can log into "my virgin media" on my laptop. I click account settings, then virgin media mail settings. This takes me through to my Virgin Media O2 ID settings. When I click manage linked accounts, there is no option to change my app password, instead, it only says "add your virgin media account". If I go through this process, it attempts to transfer the main account to me, rather than adding my secondary account. If we log into the main account, it only lets you change the app password of the main email address, rather than any of the secondary email addresses. Any assistance would be gratefully received!VM account not linked to O2 but no SIM
Help....I'm going around in circles. Took the VM package with a SIM (Volt maybe?) but had no intention of using the sim card. Decided it was a waste so now want to use it but cannot physically find it (well I have found an o2 sim but if I put it in my phone, it doesn't work and I am not sure it is the right one anyway). Tried to access VM or O2 support through lots of routes but failed. Tried to link my VM account but gets to a point where it wants to send code to the O2 phone which I don't have because I don't have the sim. I think I need to order a replacement sim somehow and then activate it then link accounts. I have tried to re-register with O2 but that just sends me to the VMO2 website (where I eventually get texted to the number I don't have). Anyone had similar and been successful? please don't send me to the online msgbot :-oLost access to O2 account
I have not been able to log in to my O2 account for a few days on the app or website . I enter my virginmedia.com email address but i get an error to say it is invalid. When i click forgot email address i get a text with the exact email address VM are saying is invalid. ??? I am about to go abroad and need to add data to my O2 mobile but cant access the account.. This really is awful service . Looking in this community it looks like VM /O2 have not tested this new merge of services at all. I have several mobile accounts which i now cant access. Chat has been no help , Phoning customer service has no idea why i cant access and raised a ticket from which i have heard nothing and my next stop is the local o2 shop where i will probably be fobbed off. VM/O2 please sort this , your about to lose a lot of customers.Activating Volt benefits
Good morning :) A few weeks ago, my service with Virgin Broadband started and early last week I got an email from O2 (who I have been a customer with for years) saying they have activated my Volt benefits. I can see I now have the increased data limit on my O2 account. I am yet to hear anything from Virgin about the extra benefits though. The update came from O2 because I had to manually prompt them about something (I was having trouble with the app) and thought to ask off the back of it. We have attempted to follow the guidance with the My Virgin Media app, but I'm stuck in a loop and I am unable to find a way to activate the benefits as mentioned. It could be that the address format isn't matching up correctly (it doesn't allow me to format them the same way for both O2 and Virgin) but I have read there is a way for this to be manually activated on Virgin's end. Is there anyone here who can help me activate my Volt benefit? Many thanks!No word on my Volt o2 Migration.
Good afternoon, I upgraded my package on Monday 11th August to Volt 1, I have signed both the VM and o2 digital contracts during the upgrade process. Provided a PAC Code to transfer my number from my pervious provider and expected to receive a new sim card from o2 relatively quickly. My broadband upgrade has been done as part of the change, and my mobile plan shows as "Not included" as per the attached screenshot. I have had no updates or notification from VM or o2 since the contract email on the 11th August, and have since been billed again by the previous sim provider, therefore I'm looking an update, or at least clarification on this progress. I am also aware that the PAC code I supplied has an expiry date. Many thanks.
Pulling my hair out over this service
I am already with Virgin on broadband. On the 11th I signed up to Volt O2 sim and cancelled my sim in EE. Yesterday I received an email from 'Virgin Media Websales'. The email said "We'd like to talk to you as it appears that some information that we need to process your order was missing. This will help us take the next steps towards getting signed up, so just call our team on 0845 650 4500." I tried this number and it didn't work, it says its no longer in use. I tried calling Virgin but the switchboard kept taking me round and round in circles without letting me speak to a bloody human!! And then it hung up telling me I can get help online!! I tried the VM webchat and the unhelpful person on the other side took 10 mins each reply just to tell me they cant help and I need to talk to someone at O2. I called their support and they said they cant find anything under my name, number or email on their end and to contact Virgin!!! I am literally at my wits end with this customer service and about ready to take up EE's offer to stay with them and cancel my broadband here too. They will pay for cancellation fees and all. Can someone please help me sort this issue out as the alternative is me going to the FOS for a complaint and cancelling my service with Virgin.Unable to get volt benefits on my o2 sim even though my volt Benefits are active
