Technology help when you need it

You don't need a membership to use VIPOAP. Choose Pay As You Go for occasional help, VIPOAP Support for ongoing reassurance, or VIPOAP Family to help look after the technology needs of the people you care about.

Included every year

Your annual Technology Review, arranged around you

Support and Family membership includes one friendly Technology Review each membership year, arranged at a convenient time for you. It is a relaxed opportunity to look over the technology you rely on at home and ask any questions that have built up during the year.

We can review your recorded devices, Wi-Fi, backups, smart-home equipment and online safety, then explain any useful next steps in plain English. It is a helpful check-up rather than a sales visit; hands-on troubleshooting, equipment or additional work is always discussed and agreed separately.

✓

Devices

Review the devices recorded in your account and identify anything that may need attention.

⌁

Wi-Fi and backups

Discuss your home network, backup arrangements and possible improvements.

⚿

Safety

Basic security, scam-awareness and online-safety guidance in plain English.

i

Clear advice

Practical recommendations, not a formal cybersecurity audit or a pressure sale.

VIPOAP Family

Tired of being the family IT department?

You love helping Mum and Dad, but it can be difficult to diagnose a Wi-Fi problem from 100 miles away. VIPOAP Family gives the people you care about friendly technology support when you cannot be there.

We can help with phones, tablets, computers, Wi-Fi, printers, smart TVs and everyday technology problems.

You arrange the appointment. They get the help. With their permission, you can know when it has been sorted.

Support My Family

Up to three named people

Each person can have their own address, contact details, communication preferences and appointment history.

  • Book for myself or someone else
  • Pay for a relative's appointment
  • Appointment booked, assigned, on-the-way and completed notifications
  • Different local Engineer for each address where coverage is available
Privacy and control

The person receiving support stays in control

A nominated person can help arrange appointments, receive notifications, make payments or manage membership only where the customer has given permission. Access to another adult's detailed service information always depends on that person's privacy choices.

Common questions

Before joining

Do I need a membership to use VIPOAP?

No. Pay As You Go has no subscription or joining fee, and you can simply book help whenever you need it.

Does membership include free support time?

No. The monthly fee provides the member benefits shown above, including the lower £20 remote-support rate. Support time is charged only when you book and use it.

How does the Family remote-support rate work?

Each of the up to three named people on a Family plan can use the £20 member rate for every 30 minutes of remote support.

Can I cancel?

Yes. Cancelling stops future renewals, and your benefits continue until the end of the period already paid for. Annual plans remain active until the end of their paid annual period.

Are repairs and equipment included?

No. Equipment and any work outside the listed benefits are explained and priced separately before you agree.
