      I have had an account with Virgin Mobile for about 8 years.
      Two weeks ago I went online as I had an offer for a new Phone and plan.

      I placed the order so we could get a lower plan and now ***** has lost the phone in the order and it cannot be located.
      Virgin now says they can't do anything until the package is found (if ever).
      My wife and I have spoken to multiple Virgin employees and none can help us and they won't activate our new cheaper plan which was the original purpose of upgrading.

      So as a customer I am being punished for one of Virgins partners losing something.
      The burden shouldn't fall onto me and they should have sent a new device or activated my new plan already.

      Additionally, very time we call into Virgin they act like this is the first call and don't know what were speaking about and transfer me around in circles to different people.
      Its obvious they do not track any type of notes on customers files.

      Currently at this moment on my 4th call to virgin and i have been transferred four times as all the agents say they cannot help.

      Hey *******,

      We are truly sorry to hear about your negative experience and the lost phone. 

      When reviewing your account, we can see the account memos stating you have asked that the device order be discarded as the phone has been lost in transit, and that you would prefer to go in store to complete a new upgrade order. 

      On July 3 2025, we can confirm that the order was discarded, and you can now go in store at your convenience to complete a new hardware upgrade order.

      Should you have any other questions or concerns please let us know.

      Best regards,

      I have reviewed the response made by the business in reference to complaint ID ********,it took multiple calls and multiple transfers to finally get an agent to cancel the order and update my account. 

      Customer service was horrible and they do not note files with any details and need to improve. 

      I am currently deciding if I will remain with Virgin or go to someone else. 

       

      This matter can be closed.

      When I signed up for internet service with Virgin Mobile, I specifically asked if the plan I was choosing could support all the devices in my household. I listed everything clearly: two security cameras, a **** doorbell, four computers, three cell phones, two *** consoles, four ******** ********, and three smart TVs. I was assured by the representative that the service would be sufficient to handle all of these devices.

      However, after only a couple of days, it became clear that the internet could not support the setup as promised. My security cameras frequently went offline, and my children’s gaming systems, including the ************, would constantly glitch due to an unstable connection.

      A few days later, I visited the Virgin Mobile store at ********* Mall to return the modem. They refused to accept the return in-store and instead printed a return label for me to use at ****** ****.

      Since then, I have been receiving multiple phone calls a day from Virgin Mobile. Most of the time, the calls disconnect immediately after I answer with a simple “hello.”

      I have requested a call back from a supervisor at least three times now, but I have yet to hear from anyone.

      To make matters worse, I’m now being charged $40 for four days of service—despite the fact that the internet never worked as promised. I was very clear about my needs during the initial setup call, and I feel misled and ignored by the lack of follow-up and the ongoing unwanted calls.
      I’m now being threatened with collections, I don’t have anything on my credit report. We canceled approximately a month ago.

      18 October switched cell phone provider from Virgin Mobile to ******.

      Virgin /Bell closed my online account. They issues a bill for $315.84. I would like the details of how this figure was determined.

      I have called twice and requested a paper copy be sent, preferably by post mail. I have not received a copy to date. I did receive a link to log in to my account, but no method of logging in as I no longer have an active account.

      They have sent the bill to collections. I will not pay this amount until I receive the bill. I do not feel this is too much to ask.

      I am rejecting this response because: After checking he mail since 11 June I have not received a copy of my bill. I have changed my address 3 times (once in the portal before ending service, twice via customer service.) Yesterday I received an an email stating that my printed bill has been returned as my address needs to be revised. It is clear to me that you have an education problem. I will call and update my address once again. However, I am requesting that my account balance be amended to $0 balance, and my credit report be amended. I have no faith in your company to follow through on on its commitments.

      I was a Virgin Mobile customer paying $32-$38/month for 10GB with unlimited talk and text. On November 29, 2024, during Black Friday, Virgin advertised 60GB for $34/month. When I inquired about switching, I was told it was for new customers only.

      I found a better deal with ***** ********: 20GB for $29/month. I transferred my number to ***** via their self-serve portal on November 29.

      On November 30, Virgin's win-back team offered me 35GB for $29/month and a $30+tax credit to cover my ***** expenses. I agreed and transferred my number back to Virgin, but technical issues caused delays, requiring multiple calls.

      Afterward, I received an agreement email stating I had agreed to 20GB for $49/month, which was completely incorrect. I called Virgin, and the representative acknowledged the win-back offer but said it was a mistake. After an hour-long call, I was asked to wait 48 hours for resolution.

      Later, I received another email stating I was on 35GB for $60/month. When I called again, I was told this adjustment was made to apply a monthly $31 credit to honor the win-back deal. The promised $30+tax credit was also applied.

      While the issue seems resolved on paper, I haven’t received my invoice reflecting these changes. **** ******* ****** *********** ****** *** ****** ***** ** ** **** ** ** *** **** ***** * ******** ** *** *** ***** 
      I request fair compensation *** *** ******* ****** ***** *** ****** ****** ** ******** ************ This could include a credit to my account or another form of goodwill compensation for the inconvenience I experienced.

      We are truly sorry to hear about your negative experience with getting the new offer placed on your account.  We are happy to hear that a resolution could be met, and are confident that once your next bill has published, you will see the appropriate changes to your account.

      With respect to additional compensation, we feel that adjustments are not warranted, as you were able to receive a comparable solution to the original offer.  If there is any issue once your bill has been published, we invite you to contact our Member care team directly at ###-###-#### for assistance.

      I am rejecting this response because:
      While I appreciate that the issue with my account appears resolved, I cannot agree that additional compensation is unwarranted.

      First of all I didnt call Virgin Plus and ask for a service its actually exact opposite Virgin Plus decided to call me and offer a seamless transition back to them.
      The resolution came only after multiple errors on your part, hours of phone calls, *** *********** ****** ****** ** *** ****

      These issues were caused entirely by Virgin** *********** and I believe it is reasonable to expect some acknowledgment *** *** **** *** ****** * ***** ********** *****

      I am rejecting this response because:  I actually talked to a Rep of CCTS early on, the frontline Rep said that if the business provides notice, they may increase the price. So I don't have faith in their mission and agenda even though CCTS has not provided an official determination yet. I do know CCTS counts complaints. I just do my part as a consumer to contribute to the statistics.
      Both CCTS and Virgin+ missed the point. The point here is not notice. *** * ******* ******* ******* ********** ******* ******* ** ****** ** ******* ** *** **** **** ******** ********* ** ****** ********* **** *********** ***** ** ***** ********** **** *** *** *** ****** *** **** *** **** ***** *******
       The rate of increase at 17.24% is also unacceptable given that I was approached and switched by their ********** *** ********* marketing only 6 months ago. The business is also acting in total bad faith by asking me to cancel service.  
      On a related note, Virgin+ ** **** ****** ** providing notice in the bill that necessitates signing in account to look up. But I have set up autopay and I don't sign into their website unless they charge to my credit card a different amount. Virgin+ is shy in sending price increase notice by hiding it in a bill. But they bombards ** with text messages of their advertisement. * **** **** ***** ******* ******** *** **** ***** *** * ** ***** *** ** **** ****** * *** ******** *** **** ****** ** **** **** ** ***** **** ***** **** *** *** ******** ** ***** ***** * ******** * ***** **** ***** * **** **** ******* **** ****** **** ****** ** **** ****** ****** ******* *** **** *** ** *** * ****** So my expectation was that the rate I got from Virgin+ should never be increased until I finance a phone from them.

      Below was emailed on 7/102024 to
      ****************************** 
      Self install did not work
      Spent 10+ hour with tech support and customer service to get a tech there
      Twice the tech went to my Aurora home.
      They also disrupted service briefly at the Aurora home.

      The **** tech that went to Aurora was kind enough to have a friend from the Toronto area come and help me yesterday.

      No help from virgin what so ever. Every time I called each person blamed the other for inputting the wrong information. And gave me 3 ticket numbers. None which were on file with ****. And the crazy part the person I spoke to yesterday could not find the previous 2 ticket number given by the previous 2 virgin folks.

      So as of yesterday I was able to get a **** tech come and connect it.
      Thanks to the second **** guy who went to my Aurora home. ** **** ** *** ****** **** ********** ****** ** ***** ******* ********** *** ** *** ***********. 4 days plus wait was a norm he mentioned.
      No thanks to the virgin support. You think they would make notes. But I had to repeat the same information the 8-12 times I called since Thursday.


      Then finally internet worked after me missing 3 days of work till August 5th 2024. Middle of work from home internet was canceled. Spent 3 hours on phone yesterday after being transferred to 5 people. With no help.
      On phone today now for an hour twice the cr hung up.

      Complaint: ********



      I am rejecting this response because:

      already called technical support.  
      they still have not adjusted my bill. 
      they said a new modem will be sent out. 

      it should not be every time I call that it takes me 3 hours and when I call again no notes on file. 

      I have missed 4 days of work and spent near 20 hour on the phone with virgin.  
      no one has any notes on file. 

      aurora address. No issues 

      toronto address ******** ******** *** is the location with problems for a month now 



      Sincerely,

      impacted your experience with Virgin Plus.

      Complaint: ********



      I am rejecting this response because:

      The situation progressed passed purchasing the ****** ***** * ***. 

      I encountered issues while attempting to purchase the ****** ***** * because that's what I was told I had to purchase. Unfortunately, due to communication lapses and technical errors on Virgin's side, I was unable to complete the purchase at the advertised price.

      During this process, two managers ceased communication, leading to significant delays. By the time I reached a manager who could assist, the price of the ****** ***** * had increased. I have photographic evidence showing my attempts to complete the purchase, which were impeded by an error message, not by the item being out of stock. This evidence has been shared multiple times with the last case manager, who acknowledged the situation's unfairness. Please refer to your call recordings for verification.

      Furthermore, regarding the ****** ***** * ***, there were no indications on your app that it was available on a first-come, first-served basis or that quantities were limited. I have screenshots that confirm this lack of information.

      While I have accepted that I will not be able to obtain the ****** ***** * ***, I would still like to purchase the ****** ***** * at the original price I was trying to secure as shown in provided screenshots. I have provided comprehensive documentation to support my case.

      I appreciate your attention to this matter and look forward to a fair resolution.

      Sincerely,



      ****** *********

      Hi ******,

      Thanks for taking the time to write back.

      Unfortunately our position remains unchanged. Plan
      pricing is subject to change without notice and device availability is on a first-come-first-serve
      basis.

      Our current pricing is shown on our site
      (*******************) and is updated with anything that’s currently on offer. 

      Check back often as plan and device pricing
      changes frequently.

      We are truly sorry if this has negatively impacted
      your experience with Virgin Plus.

      Should you have any questions or concerns, please
      do not hesitate to contact us ###-###-#### or *************************** –

      I am rejecting this response because:

      Due to delays and lack of responses from your employees, I was unable to complete my purchase. This has significantly impacted my experience negatively.
      You notified me about me being able to get a phone, as evidenced by the screenshots I provided * ***** *** ***** *****
      *** ****** ********* *** **** ***** ***********, despite my willingness to pay extra to resolve it.
      ********* *** **** **** ******* ********** * ****** **** **** ********** ***** ** ******* ***** ** ******* ** **** *** ** ***** ******** ** *** ****** ***** * *** *** ***** ** **** *****
      However, due to a system error, I was unable to proceed.
      I called customer service immediately and spoke with a case manager, who unfortunately did not follow all the way through. 
      I would appreciate it if you could look into this issue further and provide a resolution as soon as possible.


      Sincerely,

      I just signed up with Virgin Plus for mobile services. I purchased a sim card for a $29/month plan that included unlimited messaging and calling and 20GB of data per month. My purchase was made due to the fact that the banner on their website said that if I shopped online the $60 connection fee was waived. This made me feel safe trying a new cell provider as if it did not work out I would only be out the $29 for one month. Imagine my surprise when the first bill arrived in my email inbox with the $60 connection fee on it. When I contacted Virgin Plus I was told that I actually had to pay the connection fee and that it would be refunded $10 per month for the next six months, which leaves me stuck with this company as a cell provider for 7 months total. **** ** *** **** ********** ************* ** ****** **** *** **** ********** ********** It states connection fee waived, not that a credit would be given over the next six months. ** * ***** **** *** ***** **** **** ***** *** *** *** ******** ** ** ***** **** * ******* *** *** *** ****** ** **** *** ****** ** **** ** ****** ** ******** *** ***** **** ************ ** ********* **** * **** **** ****** *** **** * ***** ***** ********* ** ** *** ***** ***** *** ** *** *** **** ********** *** *****
