Ratings and reviews

I renewed my VM contract a week or two ago and since then the VM Connect app has stopped working, all I get is a message saying "can't find your hub". I've tried confirming the hub model (Hub 4) and password under Settings, I've tried uninstalling and reinstalling the app, I'v e even tried switching the hub off and back on again but nothing works. The Hub itself is working perfectly fine, there are no connection issues at all, but the app no longer pairs with it.

Doesn't work, oops waited 10 mins and it still doesn't work. Have to phone helpesk who are slow and unhelpful. I start the scan and it states it could take up to 60 seconds but after 10 secs it shows it can't be run try again in 10 mins. The learn mode indicates it may have trouble connecting to your cloud platforms. It has worked in the pass.

3/4/24- in reply to Virgin response.... I copied the link to look at the support and I got a "oops something went wrong error 404" WHAT A JOKE. Used to work but now it can't even find my hub or pod. I've done all the resetting possible and just get the same error. Constant issues with WiFi speed aswell. VM have really gone bad. Time to look for another provider after 18 years!
