I am so sick and tired of fighting with Virgin mobile
Virgin again!!! I am so sick and tired of fighting with Virgin mobile, you are garenteed not to get anyware with them. I had a cellphone account about three years ago with Virgin Mobile, The account was closed and paid up on the 30 of jan 2008 Amount R1592.03. We called the callcenter to get the settlement amount which was given to us and we paid the account. After a month Virgin contacted me for payment?? Quite confused, As the account was supposed to be closed as we paid the account finished. This was resolved, and Virgin agreed to pay what ever was outstanding as the callcenter person gave us the wront amount to be paid to settle the account. I have now tried to open a account with teljoy, Thay tell me Virgin has listed me on ITC as I have not paid my cell account to my suprise! This account was paid two years ago 30.1.08 amount R1592.03 by Wheeler Bell properties Ref Number 0727743241 into Account 1454080426 BC 145405 Virgin money. According to Jeffery Errayh there was a software glitch with migrating cell numbers and the account was reactivated, Now I am sitting with the problem!

Debitorders inexplicably reversed
Since December 2008, my R99 monthly debitorder was reversed every month. I went to Tygervalley 3 times to sort out THEIR problem, as I ALWAYS had sufficient funds in my bank account. Each time I had to explain to a different inept consultant what the problem was and they checked the details on the system and assured me everything was now 'sorted'.

Since 9 September 2009, I've been to the branch 3 times and phoned 4 times trying to get my contract cancelled and moved to pre-paid. Every time I have to speak to another consultant, every time I get a different 'outstanding' amount. This has cost me time, petrol and very high blood pressure. Apparently, the billing system amount and the in-store system amounts differ and, I quote the consultant, 'you should ignore the amounts on the invoices, as these are usually incorrect'.

I've since paid R940 to discharge my debt, but these amounts ALSO do not show on their system as finalised (it shows 'open'). What on earth??!! And NO ONE has taken responsibility or EVEN ONCE apologised for the MASSIVE inconvenience caused. Some of the consultants I spoke with: Lizaan, André, Keenan and Nathan. You guys are TERRIBLE!

Virgin Mobile does not subscribe to the DMASA
Clearly Virgin Mobile does not subscribe to the Direct Marketing Association of South Africa's opt out list, otherwise I wouldnt be getting their calls with 'great offers'. I think people who work for Virgin Mobile and are responsible for these unsolicited and unlawful cold calls should be dragged into the street and shot. The world would be a better place. I will now make it my mission to find out where they live and see if I can post it somewhere useful on the internet. F***** you very much Virgin Mobile.

The worst service ever
I am yaasir abdulla, i had a claim with virgin Mobile on the 130720009, my claim was only approved in late August 2009. I have paid in the excess as they have requested me, and a week later Ayanda from the claim department called me, and said the will deilver my phone.

Ayanda had called me on the 07082009 and said that it wil take 7days top deliver the phone. yes i have waited 7days, but when i called them, the phone order was only processed yesterday 09092009. i need answers to say why has the order been processed only than, if i have not called yesterday, thani should of still be waiting.

i expect my phone to be my me in 48hours or else i will take this matter further.

Texting issues/service issues
Since 9/3/10, Virgin Mobile has had ongoing issues with text capabilities as well as service issues and has YET to explain what's going on. I called 12 times yesterday, with 10 of those calls ending with loss of contact when they're live advisor line dropped my call. Both times I actually made it through to a real, live human being, I was given a prescripted explanation that answered NONE of the questions I was asking, and was very difficult to understand as the advisor barely spoke English. Not only have they not offered an answer as to what is going on or when it will be fixed but their help line is UNHELPFUL!

Virginmobile doesn't care about it's clients
I am a contract client with Virginmobile, and have been for over two years. A few months ago, I lost my credit card. When the new card arrived, I informed Virgin of the number, but they neglected to process it. As a result, my account ended up in arrears. They never bothered to contact me, but handed me over to ITC as a defaulter. Everything was eventually cleared up, but it took over four months to get Virginmobile to deduct the arrear amount. I was promised by Jeffrey in their accounts depeartment that the ITC situation would be corrected, but to date Virgin has done nothing. I am going to do my utmost to make sure that everybody I come into contact with knows just how badly Virginmobile treats it's loyal customers.

Migrated but getting no airtime
My brother in law migrated from prepaid monthly to a R99 Classic Contract on the 19th August 2009, it includes R100 airtime and 1000 sms, but to date no airtime and free sms have been loaded. when a sms is sent it is being charged for. at the call centre he has spoken to Jolene and Johnathon. still no success, when he told them that he wishes to cancel due to breach of contract and no service is being rendered to assist him, he was told that he would have to pay in R970 but the phone that he received with the contract is worth R470 and it is not his fault that Virgin mobile cannot render promises, it is the 3rd when wll he receive the airtime and sms'. it is not his fault service is not being supplied. seriously service needs to be jacked up.

Bad service and no response
I am very unhappy with the lack of any kind of response from Virgin mobile re various complaints. About a month ago I e-mailed them about network problems and the fact that one cannot get through via call centre as the queues are so long. My bank had rejected my debit order and I paid manually, it took about R200 in airtime to get through to the call centre who then promised to reconnect me after I faxed proof of payment... they never did. I had to repeat the process over again twice (literally resend fax 3 times).

Anyway so I e-mailed them about this issue and also the fact that I have about 10% network access in any given 24 hour period (this has improved since) and I still haven't received a reply after a whole month.

A couple of days ago I went to try upgrade my phone in the hope that a better phone would get better reception and was told that as my debit order bounced I don't qualify?? I am on contract so I can spend my money on airtime but not a phone?

I e-mailed this as well as a request for a bill 2 days ago and haven't had any response...
