To add an account:

  1. Sign in to My Virgin Media
  2. Click on My Profile at the top of the page
  3. Select the Manage accounts tab

NOTE: Don't forget to tell them the password you've chosen for them. They'll need to enter this when they sign in, and can change it once they’ve logged in.

  1. Sign in to My Virgin Media
  2. Click My Profile at the top
  3. Select the My Profile tab

From the My Profile tab you can click the change link that relates to any of the following:

Username

The email address you use as the username to sign in to My Virgin Media. Remember, if you change this, you must use the new username to get access to Virgin Media Mail via a browser. If the new address isn’t an address you previously used to sign in to eBilling, we’ll send you an email with a link to confirm your new username.

An example:
If you change your username from rbranson@virginmedia.com to rbranson@owndomain.com, you'll need to use the new username to login to your rbranson@virginmedia.com Webmail account.

Remember if you use an email client, such as Outlook, with Virgin Media Mail, you will need to keep using your original Virgin Media Mail address as the username.

Password

The password you use to sign in to My Virgin Media.

Remember that if you change your password here, you'll also need to change the settings in any email programs that you use to reflect the change.

Name

We'll use the first name for you when you are signed in to My Virgin Media or when we email you. You can change the second name if you like.

NOTE: It will only affect the name we display to you when you sign in to My Virgin Media.

If your name has changed, for example if you've got married, please see Changing the name on my Virgin Media account.

Contact email address

The email address we use to contact you with information about your account and bill.

If you update your contact email address to one you haven’t used with us yet, we'll send a confirmation email with a link to the new address to check we have the right details. Click the link in the email to confirm the change.

Security question

If you forget your My Virgin Media password, we’ll ask you to answer this question before you can reset it.

If you’d like to remove a user from your account, it’s important to remember that they won’t be able to use their My Virgin Media account once removed.
