the customer service experience was poor

I accidentally renewed the primary number on my family plan when I intended to renew the secondary number. I immediately contacted customer service and spoke with Bassan to request either a refund or to transfer the plan to the correct number so I could renew the one I actually needed.
However, I was told that nothing could be done, and when I asked to speak to a manager, I was informed that they also couldn't assist. This was very disappointing, as there were no preventive measures or confirmations in the app to avoid this type of mistake, and the support I received did not offer any solution or flexibility.
Overall, the customer service experience was poor, and I hope the company can improve both its preventive steps and the level of support provided in situations like this.

AVOID Virgin Mobile UAE – 6 Weeks of Service Failure and Incompetence!

I am writing this review as a desperate warning to all current and prospective Virgin Mobile UAE customers: DO NOT USE THIS SERVICE.

My family has been subjected to a shocking, Kafkaesque nightmare of service failure that has left two of our essential mobile lines deactivated for nearly SIX WEEKS. The issue is a persistent system flaw preventing a simple Emirates ID update, despite my ID being valid.

My experience has been a catastrophic waste of time and energy:
21 failed attempts through their mobile application.
4 failed in-person visits to their Mirdif City Center branch.
Each time, I was met with ineffective troubleshooting, vague reassurances from the support team, and zero accountability. This is not just an inconvenience; the lack of communication for my children due to their incompetence is a serious safety and personal issue.

I have paid for a service that has been deliberately withheld for over a month and a half. The company has refused to provide immediate resolution, escalate to a technical director, or offer any compensation until the "problem is fixed," which they seem incapable of doing.

This company's technical infrastructure is fundamentally broken, and their customer service is a black hole.

If you value your time, your money, and reliable communication, I urge you to look elsewhere. Flee this provider. You have been warned.

Current Status: Lines remain deactivated. Full complaint escalation to the TDRA is imminent.

This reply is exactly the kind of hollow, solution-free message I have received countless times over the past month and a half. It is just "communication for the sake of communication."

regarding your suggestion to contact feedbackVM: You should know that this specific address was CC'd on every single message I sent you. I never—not even once—received a reply or a single sign of life from that department. Telling me to contact an address that has ignored me for six weeks adds insult to injury. Please stop with the template responses and actually fix the problem.

Promises that don't happen

They sent me an email saying if I signed up to a new one year plan I would receive some promotional data and minutes. Surprise surprise when I renewed. That didn't happen. Standard Dubai promises. So now I have to do all of the chasing up.

Terrible Company with crazy rules

Terrible Company. Doesn´t let you move your SIM to a new device if you are outside of the UAE. This is causing extreme difficulties and gets me to not be able to connect to my Bank Accounts. Traveling for the next 4 months meaning can´t access things without my Number. Ahmed E. From customer Service was super rude and not answering any questions. Like a robot repeating the same. Then Trasfered me to another one Called Champion (waited for 30min) He just basically said the same. Crazy. Not useful for travelers or international expats. They did not have this in the last 4 years. Sad.

Hello Dario,

We’re really sorry for the difficulties you’ve faced, especially while traveling. As per our policy, eSIM transfers must be completed while you are in the UAE, and we understand how challenging this can be when you’re abroad and need urgent support. We’re also disappointed to hear about your interaction with our team; you deserved clearer communication and more attentive assistance, and we will be reviewing this internally.

If you’re open to it, please share your details and contact us via the app or email us at feedbackVM@virginmobile.ae so we can look into this further. -Pauline
