Hold Music @ Virgin Media

skysound · 01-04-2008, 20:10

Hi All,

I know how awfully strange this question is going to be but hey some of us gotta be sad to even sad/groovy people ratio i guess...

Anyway, does anyone know what music Virgin Media play when your're on hold? I know there are a few tunes, the one i want has no words and its played when you call the movers centre and a load of other departments too. If anyone has a link to the tune or something that would be fantastic. Its not the looped one that restarts every 10 seconds or something.

I tried to find this out one day a few weeks ago and have searched everywhere to no avail. Now the challenge of finding this god dam thing is really bugging me i wont give up lol!!!

If you know, or can find out you are amazing and i'd love your research skills!

Thanks guys. I really would appreciate your help here. Maybe even a mars bar in it!

The last time I phoned Virgin, the music was Dire Straits & if I remember correctly it is the track 'On Every Street', or at least a sample of it!!!

Have you tried the general enquiry contact form?

Here

You never know...

skysound · 04-04-2008, 19:48

I've tried this before but to no avail. ANyone got any ideas??????

I didn't think anyone would know but thought it might be worth a shot...

It could just be a commercial music piece designed for call centres - it might not be something obtainable to the public.
