Couldn't find a specific section for this,  so have put it here.

To those in the know,  this is probably an incredibly daft question,  but here goes anyway.

It's about WhatsApp.
I don't want them keep sending me messages about games and stuff I am not interested in,  so I went into Settings and blocked the WhatsApp messages.

Thinking about it since,  does that mean I have gone and blocked messages from What'sApp friends as well?

Big Ben  came along in his sexy shorts
And some of the ladies had naughty thoughts
All muscles and tan -
Phew, what a man
As he performed one or two pole vaults.


They all lined up,  pancakes all ready
Sidney thought he would take it steady

I too am with Virgin.. Been with them donkey years..
If you have a fault they will send an engineer to check.. 
NO CHARGE..
They usual do a 'run through' to check any faults.. As Klondike says they will ask you many questions..
Just play the ' stupid' card and tell them that you do not understand all this technology stuff.. Don't let anyone bully you.. You are a customer.. You pay THEM..
If you are unhappy tell them that you are thinking of leaving.. finding another....
They need you.. and WILL offer you a reduction in the package that you have with them..
 You must learn to stick up for yourself  Mumps
You are a soft touch..  You don't need to be rude.. 
Just be firm.. 
You are far too nice.. But it doesn't put food on the table..

No. Just call them and complain. They may drive you nutty with silly requests. Turn it off. Turn it on. Stand on your head.....

If they do give you the run around try asking them to put you through to cancellations (it's actually called retentions internally) as you are sick of the poor performance. Chances are you'll still be in contract though - that is their business model. When renewal comes around they'll ask for some stupid new price. You complain and they either make a small reduction or give some trivial upgrade in return for a contract extension.
