Cannot login to Virgin Account still after a week
Hi, I’ve been dealing with this issue for over a week now, and it’s clearly related to the new ID merge between Virgin Media and O2. As it stands, I can’t access my Virgin Media account at all, meaning I can’t watch Sky Sports on my laptop or phone, or even do something simple like check or manage my account. I called customer support on 15/07/25 and spent over an hour on the phone with technical support. I was told this is a known issue affecting many users, and was advised to try again this week as it should have been resolved by now. Spoiler alert: it hasn’t been. The problem seems to be when I try to log in. I’m prompted to link my Virgin and/or O2 accounts. When I attempt to link the Virgin Media account, the system sends a verification email to one of my email addresses (which I can access), but clicking the link just sends me to the Virgin homepage. It doesn’t actually verify anything. So I’m stuck in an endless loop that leads nowhere. To make things more confusing, the new ID system was set up with a different email address than my original Virgin Media login. Both emails are mine and both work, and I only used a different one initially because I was already having issues on setting up the new ID. I’m now wondering if that mismatch is contributing to the problem. Either way, the verification links aren’t doing their job. When is this going to be fixed? It’s been long enough. Thanks, Russ
