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.40Views0likes1CommentActivating 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!42Views0likes1CommentUnable to get volt benefits on my o2 sim even though my volt Benefits are active

Morning all, I am an exisiting O2 customer, and signed up to Virgin as a new customer on 22/7. My O2 data has doubled and is showing as active, but my Virgin speed had not yet doubled. Is it abnormal that they activate asynchronously? I'm aware it can take up 14 days but that will be on the 5/8, so I accept I'm preempting this. Any advice is appreciatedSolved48Views0likes2CommentsVolt benefits on my Virgin Media Broadband
Hi, I have very recently (last week) rejoined VM as a returning/new customer. Having successfully installed the Hub 5 and being back on-line I want to know if I need to do anything to gain the speed benefit on the broadband? I was informed that the 516 Mb broadband would increase to 1Gb as part of the VM/O2 Volt benefits. My O2 mobile speed appears to have increased but the VM Broadband is still reporting to be operating at 516Mb. Is there anything I need to do or will this speed increase be applied the coming days? Thanks94Views0likes4CommentsO2 Volt benefits not activating until VM update my address
Hello. I cannot get the full Volt beneots (double data on my o2 sims) because the address on my o2 and VM accounts are not exactly the same. For the last month, I've been trying to get o2 or Virgin Media to update the format of my home address. After hours on the phone to O2 and VM, I've established that o2 are unable to edit the address on their system. VM said they could update it and to wait 5 days for the update, but nothing was ever updated and I've since wasted hours on the phone with VM trying to resolve this issue with no success. I have been a customer of VM and o2 for over a month now and this still isnt resolved. Last month I ran out of data on my o2 sim and o2 said I should purchase more data which is ridiculous as my contract states I should have double the amount of data I am getting! Please can someone from VM help resolve this issue as soon as possible please.76Views0likes4Comments02 Sim card - Mis-sold
Absolutely furious. We moved from Sky to Virgin in January, as we had a Virgin Media sales rep turn up at our doorstep in December, who basically sold us the benefits of moving to the Virgin Media Volt Bundle at £95 per month. We explained that one of us are currently paying for an sim only deal with 02, at £15 per month. Mohammed (sales rep) then explained that he could remove this cost completely, as the bundle included an 02 sim card. This was part of the monthly subscription we paid to Virgin Media (within the £95). We were then sent the FREE o2 sim as we were told that there isn’t any charge for the contract. However, since setting this SIM up, moving the numbers around, we have now received an email advising that we would be paying £21.27 from 10th March. We have been mis-informed, mis-sold this sim card as we did not agree to pay for an 02 SIM at £21.27 a month. We were told that the sim cost was covered within the £95.00 per month. 02 customer services said this is an issue that Virgin Media need to fix but unable to find a number to discuss it. Can anyone from @virgin media help with this?405Views0likes10CommentsVolt / O2 Sim Query
Hi all, I managed to sort out my package renewal query and appears we have lost a few big benefits as my Wife had an O2 sim but has since switched over to Tesco. So we've lost the Volt Benefits meaning I've a much reduced package for the same monthly cost. The account is in my wife's name, and I'm currently on a monthly Vodaphone contract which is due to end in July. If I get my PAC and take out an 02 sim online, via Uswitch etc as the costs are much better, can I take advantage of the Volt boosts that come with it, or does it have to be in my wife's name? Does same address count towards claiming the benefits? Thanks in advance for any advice.Solved150Views0likes5CommentsVOLT Benefits applied to O2 but not Virgin Broadband
