I have to move into temporary accommodation following a major fire, while my house is restored. It will be several months. What happens to my VM contract? Can I transfer it temporarily to my new address?

Ask them.
1) do you have VM cable at your temp. place?
2) They probably want you to restart a 12/18 month contract
3) sadly it's probably best to let the contract run (unless they send you are price rise notification to allow you to get out of contract within 30 days)0 -
We are out of contract but we have quite a large monthly bill as we have a full range of VM services. We do not yet have a temporary place, insurer is looking for one.
We do not really want to sign up for another large contract. What is minimum contract we can get with any provider if we have to take out a new one.? We only expect to be in temporary accommodation for 6 months.0 -
Best to cancel it then. They will ask for the box black.
If they aren’t understanding you can buy boxes off eBay.
9 month student contracts exist.
But I would just get a 12 month deal and transfer it when u return0 -
Out of contract i would cancel and use a mobile dongle for temp housing .
Sign up for a contract in temp housing and may cost a lot to cancel .0
