BYOD $35 / 20GB for 15 months (Expires Nov 25) [Canada Wide minus SASK]

rocketm wrote: ↑ I tried a few times and they wouldn't lower my plan to $35 for 20gig. I am currently paying $50 for 12gig + 5gig bonus they gave me recently. Therefore I am jumping ship to Virgin Plus. The only thing holding me back is which provider offer better signal. Virgin Plus or Koodo. Fido signal is getting worse in my area and only 3 out of 5 bars most of the time.

Virgin Plus (brand operated by Bell Mobility Inc.) and Koodo (registered business name of TELUS Communications Inc.) should have the same 3G/4G reception since they share the same RAN (radio access network)

Only difference should be in 5G reception.

Wireless Network Sharing, Canadian Style




Telus and Bell’s wireless partnership still a sore spot for competitors

Just a FYI: You can also get the Pixel 6a/7 discounts with the $43/35 GB plan.

I am on $35/20 GB plan and the only way to get Pixel discounts is to switch to another plan the cheapest of which is the $43/35 GB plan.

I can confirm, at the Virgin store at Georgian Mall in Barrie, they have the $35 for 20 GB for 15 months. I opted for the $40 for 25 GB just because.

May have missed this but is in store only?

Just called Virgin retention and they told me to pound sand.

Virgin is awesome, offering me an exclusive deal. Check it out. This was via social media.

At this time I have an exclusive 2 GB plan with Canada wide calling and texting for $30.00+tax! Is this something you would be interested in? Thank you

What the heck. I called these guys and they said it was only for additional lines, not for current subscribers.

Were you already a Virgin customer?

I went this weekend, ported out from Telus. Added a second line to my account. Both 35 dollars 20 gb.

My dad also went and ported out from Koodo. He got his own account and an additional line for my mom. Both 35 dollars 20 gb.

I'm not too familiar with the Virgin Plus interface and I see some conflicting information on the addons sections on all the accounts. Can anyone who knows better take a look at this comparison and tell me if they bungled up my account or my dads? Something *seems* not right but maybe I don't know.

This comparison

The first two methods connected me to completely inept staff.

The guy at that kiosk said that this deal was only available if you are adding a line to your account, not if you are changing plans or upgrading.

How are people getting this??

The key is to not be an existing subscriber. You'd have to switch to Fido or Koodo to get this deal.

OH. Ok that's an important detail. Thank you

For whatever reason, these telecom companies care a lot more about new subscribers than existing subscribers. That means you may have to switch around every year or two if you have temporary discounts and are chasing the best deals each year.

Can I combine this plan with the Pixel 7 deal thats going for $9.50/month?

This plan is available at Sunridge mall, Calgary. I was there today, there’s no bill credit but $50 activation fees is waived.

Got hooked up for $35/20 GB at Pickering Town Centre. I was advised about and paired up with a refer a friend promo discount of $5 each way for 10 months, making this deal even hotter! Was told you can refer others and get an additional $5 off/10 months, up to 6 people max/year. Good to ride out till next Black Friday/Boxing day-ish and play the game again.

Gonna be a good year, gents!

No, you need the $45/mo (after $10 credit) for 20GB to get the Pixel 7.

Thanks for confirming. So I guess this would be the best deal I can get for a 20GB plan with the Pixel 7 (This is a corp plan from my work)

Yeah, I think so.

There is a Virgin Plus winback plan $45/mo. for 20GB plus $400 credit that qualifies for phone financing. Can be combined with Pixel 7 to bring monthly cost down to $1.50/mo, but $220 credit is lost.

[Virgin Mobile] Virgin Mobile Winback $45/25GB + $400 device credit (Ontario) YMMV

Did they say how long this price is valid for?

It says 15 months in the image attached to the post.

"After a $20/mo. bill credit for 15 months"

that's a really good deal. Basically removes the whole activating at costco/best buy and applying the gift card headache from the equation. I wish they offered this for all corporate plans.

I can also get the iPhone 13 128gb for $60 or iPhone 14 for $65/month. Just one the fence on which one I want to live with for the next 2 years

So far leaning towards pixel 7 as it's the best deal
