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

Not getting any benefits of volt on my o2 and keep getting same link which isn’t working to try and link them together! Need help please69Views0likes3CommentsVolt Speed Boost
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 appreciatedSolved48Views0likes2CommentsLinking Virgin / Virgin02 accounts can’t find email
I have spent the last three days trying to gain access to my virgin account for online billing and VM Connect to discuss hubs. It keeps returning the message we’ve found your virgin media account and saying it is linked to a different account and then blocking me after too many attempts i have tried every email address I’ve ever had, had an o2 contract 6 years ago. I’ve tried WhatsApp support, live chat and no resolution. is there a way to sort this? text from virgin “ Email address doesn't match.

I’ve been with Virgin and O2 for over a month now, VOLT applied to O2 straight away, but still not applied to Virgin Media. when trying to sign into MyO2 from Virgins website to view VOLT benefits, it always errors and takes me to the O2 homepage.70Views0likes2CommentsO2 Volt Benefits not applied
I signed up on a Volt M350 Fibre Broadband package on 18 August 2024. I have received my Virgin Media Volt benefits but nothing on the O2 side. I have raised an enquiry and received an email stating "my account is eligible for Volt benefits". Signing into My O2 still shows "Sorry - it doesn’t look like you’re currently eligible for these benefits" since I signed up. Can someone please assist in getting this sorted out.484Views0likes2CommentsAddress formatting mismatch
Hi, I have just taken out an M500 broadband package and I have been an O2 customer for many years. I am trying to link the two accounts but have noticed that the addresses do match but on my contract for the new broadband the postcode is displayed twice, once in upper case and once in lower case. Would this be preventing me from linking the two accounts? And is there anyone I could get in contact with to manually link the two accounts?Solved795Views0likes5CommentsWill my mobile contract continue if my broadband contract ends?
Good morning, I've been with Virgin for my broadband for approx. 24 months now. Originally on an 18 month Black Friday deal which we extended for a further 18 months when it expired 6 months ago. I'm looking at adding an O2 sim to my package which comes with an 18 month contract in and of itself. My question is, what will happen billing wise when my broadband deal ends in a years time, but my mobile contract continues for 6 months after that? Will my mobile contract continue on at that same price independently of my broadband offer? I don't plan on leaving Virgin, but my broadband package costs will increase dramatically once the offer ends, and I don't want to be stuck paying those higher prices until the mobile contract ends too. Hope all that makes sense! Cheers.696Views0likes3CommentsVirgin O2 Volt Cancellation issue
In November 2021, I entered into an agreement with Virgin Media for a broadband connection, which included an O2 phone contract at a reduced cost. Unfortunately, due to complications during the broadband installation, the service had to be canceled. Regrettably, the cancellation process did not extend to the associated O2 phone contract, leading to me incurring charges beyond the initially agreed amount of £3 extra a month on my broadband and instead having to pay £15 a month which subsequently was raised to £19.64 for unknown reasons. Despite numerous attempts to resolve this issue over the past two years, the O2 phone contract remained active. This has resulted in me paying more than initially agreed upon, a situation that has negatively impacted my credit history due to a failed payment when I first attempted to cancel the service. My concern is no query I have took up with o2 in the recent or distant past has ever been addressed. This includes someone using my details for over 4 years and the numerous attempts I’ve made in order to get this contract cancelled. When contacting o2 I get told it’s a virgin problems and when contacting virgin I get told it’s an o2 problem. My last call I was told it was an o2 360 problem yet I was still unable to get anything resolved. To top this off I called to cancel my contract on the 18th of January and this wasn’t actioned which resulted in me having late payments on my account. I attempted via chat 3/4 times and was again told this was done before eventually managing to cancel through Twitter or X as it’s currently known. This has negatively impacted my credit rating. To clarify, I have never used or even activated this sim! I want to emphasize the urgency and severity of this matter. Not only have I been financially burdened, but the consequences extend to a negative impact on my credit history which has affected credit applications and hindered me since. I have no escalated this to the ombudsman and if that fails I will go down the small claims court route which I’m reluctant to because I don’t believe any refund I will get via small claim can compensate for the time and stress this has caused me. I am also owed money by virgin that they will not release even though they have stipulated that this is owed to me. Has anyone had this experience or does anyone have any advice that can help?5.5KViews0likes1Comment
