Can I cancel Virgin Media online or via chat?

No. Virgin Media does not allow online cancellation for standard accounts. You must call 0345 454 1111 (or 150 from a Virgin phone). The only exception is bereavement cancellations, which have a dedicated online form and a separate phone line: 0800 952 2302.

How long do I have access to my services after giving notice?

Your services remain active for the full 30-day notice period after you call to cancel. You will continue to be billed for this period. Access ends on the confirmed disconnection date.

Will I get a refund if I've paid in advance?

If you have a credit balance (e.g. paid a month in advance), it will be refunded to your original payment method within 10–14 working days after your account closes. Any outstanding balance must be paid via the closing bill.

What happens to my Virgin Media email address?

Your @virginmedia.com email account remains accessible for 90 days after disconnection, then it is permanently closed. Forward any important emails and update your email address with services before cancelling.

Can I reactivate my Virgin Media account after cancelling?

Yes, you can rejoin Virgin Media after cancellation, but you will be treated as a new customer and must sign a new contract at current pricing. Your previous account history and any loyalty discounts will not transfer.

Can I keep my Virgin Media phone number when switching?

Yes. Ask your new broadband or phone provider to port the number before your Virgin Media disconnection date. Once your Virgin services are disconnected, the number cannot be ported and will be lost.

Check your contract end date

Log in to My Virgin Media at my.virginmedia.com and go to 'My Account' > 'My Package' to find your contract end date. Cancelling before the minimum term ends (typically 18 months) will trigger an early disconnection fee calculated as a percentage of remaining monthly charges.

Call Virgin Media to cancel

Call 0345 454 1111 (or dial 150 free from a Virgin Media phone or landline). Lines are open Monday–Friday 8am–9pm, Saturday 8am–8pm, Sunday 8am–6pm. Online cancellation is not available — you must call. Have your account number, service address, and last bill amount ready.

Navigate the IVR menu

When prompted by the automated system, say or select 'Cancel my service' or press the option for 'Thinking of leaving'. You will be placed in a queue for the retentions (Loyalty) team, which typically handles all cancellation requests.

Decline retention offers

The retentions agent will attempt to keep you as a customer by offering discounted deals, package downgrades, or free speed upgrades. Common tactics include: 'We can reduce your bill by £X/month', 'Let us run a free engineer visit first', or 'Can I put you on hold while I find a better deal?'. Firmly state: 'I would like to cancel my service and give my 30 days' notice today.'

Confirm 30-day notice and disconnection date

Once accepted, the agent will set your disconnection date 30 days from the call. Confirm the exact disconnection date and ask for a cancellation reference number. Request a confirmation email or letter be sent to your registered address.

Pay your closing bill

Virgin Media will issue a final bill covering charges up to your disconnection date, plus any early termination fee if applicable. You can view and pay this in My Virgin Media under 'Billing' > 'View bills'. Any credit on your account will be refunded to your registered payment method within 10–14 working days.

Return Virgin Media equipment

Within 30 days of disconnection, return all Virgin Media equipment (Hub/router, TV boxes, remotes). Virgin Media will send you a prepaid returns bag by post, or you can call to arrange a free courier collection. Failure to return equipment results in non-return fees (typically £25–£50 per item).
