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!
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!
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.Volt applied for O2, nothing from VM as yet
Hi Virgin Media Team, I have been a long-time member of Virgin Media, so when my mobile phone contract was up for renewal in March, I switched to O2 to take advantage of the Volt upgrades offer, and combine my services. My data benefits were applied to the O2 account fairly quicky (within the 2 week suggested timeline), but its now over a month later, and I have still not heard anything from Virgin Media about the Broadband boost. Would someone be able to review my account and advise when this will be activated please? Many thanks,VOLT benefits not applied - Broadband
Hi, I'm both an 02 and Virgin Media customer, Broadband installed on 14th Jan so well over time told to wait. Have spoken to customer service and the Terri bot to no avail. My 02 VOLT benefit successfully applied within days, but my broadband VOLT upgrade still hasn't been applied. Can someone help me please? Spoke to someone is customer service who advised they would apply immediately but this was over a week ago and haven't received any follow up since which has been frustrating. Neither the phone line or the complaints links seem to work, either dead links online or the options don't exist when calling to escalate. Finding it hard to speak to anyone at all to rectify this for me. As far as I'm aware both accounts have the same email and address so don't understand why there is such a lengthy delay applying the upgrade. Thank you.Volt broadband not being applied
I started with Virgin in December. Existing O2 customer. Signed up to 500mb which the salesman told me would be automatically upped to 1gig. O2 doubled my data within days. I waited the 14 days for the benefits to be applied on the Virgin side but they never materialised. Contacted web chat and raised a referral form on the 6th Feb to have this sorted. Told I'd get a response within 24hrs. Haven't had one. Phoned customer service. After 2 hrs of calls, being sent to O2 and sent back again, bounced around. Told another referral has been raised and I'd have a response within 24hrs. That time has now passed and no response again. The app and website are full of broken links. My addresses match, the O2 app even says I've unlocked my benefits and am getting them, but I'm not. Nowhere to go from here other than a formal complaint and then the ombudsman. No point in going to Customer Service because they don't respond.
