Charge for call not made
Hi - There seems to be quite a lot of people with similar queries... I've just noticed on my latest bill that I've been charged for a call outside of my Talk plan I know I haven't made. It's just 1 call, no phone number listed, for exactly 1 minute costing 40p + 8p VAT. As I don't know what this is or how it could have occurred and I fear it will keep appearing unless I find out the root cause of it! Has anyone got any advice on how this has happened? Has my phone line been compromised in some way?1471 giving incomplete information
Hi, My issue has been going on for almost a month, but when someone calls my line when you call 1471 the day after it does not tell you the month or year and it does not tell you that there is a charge for pressing 3 to return the call. I believe this is a nationwide issue as I have tried to get hold of many of the Virgin Media team and I finally got one who confirmed the fault but no one else since then has seemed to have picked up on it. I hope someone can help here. Thanks
Landline not working
On Thursday a Virgin engineer changed the cable leading from the road to my house. Since then my landline has a message saying "Check Land Line" and you get no dialling tone when trying to ring out. When you ring the landline you get a ringing tone on the phone you call from but the landline does not ring.Landline Dead Since 17th June 2025 – No Fault Shown – Urgent Support Needed
Hi Virgin Media Community, I’m posting here as a last resort after struggling to get proper support. My Virgin Media landline has been completely dead since 17th June 2025. When calling the number, it just says “We cannot take your call now.” However, when I log into my account, it shows a green tick and says “No known issues” with the landline. I’ve tried calling the support number 0800 052 2164 but couldn’t get through to anyone — the options keep looping me around with no way to speak to a human. This landline is essential as it’s used by my elderly mother, and we need it restored urgently.

If a technician visit is needed, I’m happy to arrange it. Also, I’d like a credit or refund for the time the phone line has been unavailable. Thanks in advance, DeepakTelephone disabled in new Hub 3
I recently received a replacement Hub 3 for one that was showing a solid red light, but I've just discovered that the phone is not working. History, the red red light appeared on the old Hub 3 about Jan/Feb 2024 and it came with some WiFi issues intermittent loss of signal/slow down in speed/loss of internet. So I brought myself a router and switched the Hub 3 to modem mode. And everything worked. This year my contract was up in May and I finally got around to getting a replacement. The first one to turn up was damaged in transit (There was something loose inside the Hub). The second turned up I plugged it in changed the password and switched to Modem Mode. And then I went away on holiday. Today I go to use the phone and no dial tone. Signed into the Hub settings and it says Telephony (Disabled) Is that because the Hub is in Modem mode, or is there another problem? Thank you for your helpLandline Crackling/Static noise.
Good evening. For the past 4 days we have had no dial tone on the landline phone so i purchased just a basic phone to check the line and all i am hearing is crackling then it goes dead then back to crackling. The phone is plugged into the master socket and their are no extensions from it. Also have checked the service status page and it says there is no issues with phones in my area. Thank you.
Scam mobile calls from India on landline
I have started receiving a lot of calls from supposed UK mobile numbers (a different number every time), 20 calls to date, all between 09:00 and 17:00 Mon-Fri. Initially we answered the calls as we did not know who was calling, lately we have just let them go to voicemail. When you answer the phone it is always someone saying they are from Virgin Media and that there is an issue with the broadband connection, when challenged to tell me who I am and where I live they immediately hang up. The calls are from a call centre, you can hear the chatter in the background and appear to be from (I'm guessing) India or similar. It is very annoying and worrying as my wife's parents are both nearly 90 and not very well and they are normally the only people who ring us on the landline - we don't give the number out anywhere as we use our mobiles for everything - it stresses my wife as soon as the phone rings before you can see who the caller is. How can we stop these people calling? It is obvious that they are international calls and that the numbers are being spoofed and changed every time, so it is pointless blocking the numbers as they never repeat. 07850 0914xx, 07938 5829xx, 07775 8906xx 07891 3825xx, 07786 5401xx, 07815 7318xx, 07891 4093xx, 07847 4772xx, 07514 9048xx, 07803 4932xx, 07548 0010xx, 07399 6596xx, 07901 3336xx, 07425 0149xx, 07595 2257xx, 07835 2450xx, 07557 2382xx, 07710 8234xx, 07886 2952xx, 07956 6167xx. p.s.
