Can’t enter a “valid” email address on sign in
When I try to sign in to my Virgin Media account with my email address I get an error message saying, “Please enter a valid email address”. If I use the “Forgot your email address” tool then the email address it displays is the one that you’re telling me isn’t valid! So now I can’t access my account. What am I supposed to do? PS. Can’t search for tags on Safari mobile, and Safari desktop displays the message, “Forbidden. You don’t have permission to access url”, which is why I’m using mobile. Is anybody at VM actually checking that these things actually work?"it appears that some information that we need to process your order was missing."
Hi, I got the below email this morning from VirginMediaWebsales@virginmedia.co.uk, do not call this included number . ----------- Hi there, Thanks for contacting Virgin Media about getting some of our services. It's great to hear you're thinking of joining us! We'd like to talk to you to 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. As we need to look further into the details of your order before we can go ahead with your install, any pre-payment that you have made online will not be processed until your install date has been confirmed. We're looking forward to hearing from you! Kind regards, The Virgin Media team ----------- I will note that although I have not publicly posted it, the email did include my online order reference number that was attached to the contract documents I received when I changed my package, so I have reason to believe the email is legit, and not a scam designed to get people to phone a premium number. When calling the number I get an automated message to advise that the number is no longer in use, and to contact o2 or VM (depending on who you are calling for) so I hung up. Get a text from my mobile provider that I have been charged for the call (its not included in my minutes) and have been deducted 40p. If this is a legit email, and virgin are giving out a dead premium number people are still being charged £0.40 per minute to call that need to be addressed. Can a VM associate have a quick look over the notes on my account as see if there is any reason Virgin Media is asking me to contact them. Many Thanks.
Still unable to Link Virgin Media account since new Sign-in process introduced
A long time VM customer everything was working all fine... until Monday 14th July 8am when this was introduced without prior warning! New windows introduced, chopping and changing, willy nilly, throughout that day. Only made worse when Customer services & Complaints team were clueless as to what was going on. Anyway, cut a long story short... right now (Fri 1st August, can't access any VM stuff on laptop), trying to Link Virgin Media account, after entering correctly the Account holder's last name, Account number and Area reference number - the system FINDS my VM account, I then confirm the address related to that (call this X say) BUT the next screen says it's going to send an approval of account transfer verification email to address (X???) - I CANNOT access it because domain does not exist HOWEVER I have been using this okay as a USERNAME to login to my VM account for years prior to the 14th July. Why has the system not sent this approval of account transfer verification email to my registered @ntlworld.com address (where all my emails come in & out okay) behind my USERNAME login (X)??? Absolutely abominable this - gotta be the worse customer/complaints service I've experienced in my entire life! Any ideas or a resolution, please?! (P.S. Can't even connect to my @ntlworld.com account via a client program because there appears to be a password on it too!)
How am I now supposed to access to my other VM mailboxes?
The way this VM O2 ID authentication change has been handled is disgraceful. They appear to have rolled it out without any prior testing. Just like Elon's "move fast & break things" approach, this has now resulted in a "rapid unscheduled disassembly". For gawd's sake do things properly, Virgin Media! I'm seriously considering moving my email away from these clowns who can't seem to do anything right. It's not as if changing the password is something that offers the customers any extra value at all; this was purely of benefit to the service providers (VM & O2). So we go through these ridiculous extra steps just to verify a new password they want us to adopt? Crazy! If I understand the limited advice provided by other contributors in these forum pages, if the user previously had multiple (say "..@blueyonder") mailboxes under VM, that user now needs to set up VM O2 IDs for each extra mailbox: this is in addition to the VM O2 ID he/she has already been obliged to set up for the primary mailbox. What is the justification for that, why is that necessary? If I previously had 4 mailboxes available under my previous VM email sign-in & ID, why do I now need an additional VM O2 ID for each individual mailbox? There has got to be a better way of catering for this user requirements scenario. I am so disgusted by this lazy thinking by VMO2, I am seriously considering changing my email addresss & moving to another ISP (no small project, as any reader will appreciate). Apalling customer service (NOT!)Unable to login to O2 Priority app
This used to work fine. Not sure what's happened but I tried to login - it asked for my email address - it sent me a verification email. It then said it wanted to link my virgin media account to my O2 account (didn't know I had one ?). However, now when I login (using the email address I use for Virgin) it then asks for a password - but the email address it is showing me is spelt incorrectly? Therefore I cannot login and if I ask to "Verify another way" it just sends me back around in the same loop ! Any ideas anyone please?Issue Linking Virgin Media Account to Virgin Media O2 ID Account.
Below taken from a previous discussion on this forum but as it's the exact same issue and they explained it well I've stolen it. Hi all - hoping posting here can shed some light on this whole process. I am a new customer with virgin media, and have just been sent all the emails through with my contract etc. on the email address I used to set up the account. The emails said to set up the My Virgin Media account, so I clicked the link and registered my Virgin Media O2 ID account. It then said to link that account to my Virgin Media account, however when I did so, it said that the email accounts don’t match, even though I used the same email address for both: “We’ve found your Virgin Media account However, this account is linked to an email address that’s different to the one on your Virgin Media O2 ID. If you’d like to continue and link your Virgin Media account to your Virgin Media O2 ID, please confirm the full email address your Virgin Media account is currently registered to. We’ll then send an email to that email address to approve the transfer.” So I put my email in (the one from which I received all emails about my contract setup), but it is saying the email address doesn’t match even though I literally copy pasted it from my contract document. It gave me five attempts to put my email in and the same error message came up each time - I now have one attempt left and don’t want to use it in case my account gets blocked. Please could anyone advise on what I’m doing wrong or if this is a glitch or something?? It’s a bit of a niche problem I think, and I couldn’t find anything on the FAQs! I feel like I’m going insane because I’ve checked the email so many times to make sure there are no typos or anything but it’s still not working!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!Can't verify my email
I'm trying to update the email address on my account but the 'Verify Your Email' link that comes through takes me to a sign in page and there's no option to verify. If I try to sign in it just says you haven't verified your email yet. After reading some other forum posts I thought it might just time out very quickly but I clicked the link within 60 seconds of it coming through and it still doesn't work. I've also tried using various browsers, clearing my cache history etc but stuck in this cycle of not being able to verify my email. Please help!
