Apparently at this time number share is only available for iPhone and Google phones.

It's under the same plan so both watch and phone are using data from the same pool.

The downside of sub brands...

This is available through Costco, Iphone 13 for a few dollars a month and $300 Costco GC.

Costco wireless is offering Virgin $45/50 with iPhone 12 for $1.13 per month with a $300 gift card? Will have to stop by and see because it’s a better deal than Walmart with the iPhone 11.

Must be store specific because at the Surrey Costco wireless both the iPhone 12 and 13 are both $20.

Did anyone able to unlock their SIM for iPhone with 24 month plan?

What a crappy experience signing up with Virgin online.

1) Order made on Saturday for the $65/month ($20 discount for 24 months, so $45/month) 50Gb plan + iPhone 13 for $20/month, $50 connection fee waived + $50 bill credit (as per their web site)

2) Agreement generated and sent by Virgin on Monday had no mention of the $20 discount or the $50 bill credit, and listed the $50 connection fee

Trying to reach customer service has been beyond painful. I spoke/chatted with 5 (!) reps, and each exchange was out of this world ridiculous/surreal. First, to "validate" me, they all wanted to send a text to the number that Virgin generated that I obviously have no access to. None of them knew when I signed up. None of them had access to my agreement. None of them were aware of the BFCM promotions that are still on their website, and I had to walk all of them through the checkout process so they could see the $20 discount and the connection fee/bill credit blurb.

I was transferred from chat to the phone "loyalty" department to verify the $50 credit and the waived connection fee just to be greeted by someone who promptly dropped the line. After calling back and going through the regular customer service who once again asked the same questions, I was transferred to the (lucky #5) lady who said she "was like loyalty" and who then spent 40 minutes trying to figure out what was going on. In the end, **drum roll**, she also told me she had to "validate" me by sending an SMS to the nonexistent number before she could send something to the "back office". I almost lost it there. While I can't verify it, she did manage to put notes on my account + send something to the back office.

I think I had a very similar experience when signing up with Bell Fibe. Dealing with completely incompetent and clueless reps from some South Asian (read: Indian) call centers was like getting a root canal without anesthesia (yes, I know what it feels like).

Use you active virgin sim to activate iphone. Make at least one call and one text. It should automatically unlock.

For those couldn't remove iphone carrier lock with an active virgin sim card, call 611 and speak to the unlocking team. They will unlock the phone from their end. It takes 10min to few hours to activate. If some1 tell you their can't unlock because you are on 24 month plan, just hang up and speak to some1 else.

Thanks for posting. Wasn't able to get the plan from fido or Koodo because no stock. Got 2 iphone 11 from Koodo instead. With the Walmart GC and phone sell, it comes down to $13/line/month for 50gb. What a great deal.

So my iphone11 just arrived with a new sim card. Why would I need a new sim? Can i not just use current one to get upgraded to new plan without opening new phone?

Does anyone know if opening a 2nd line gives a discount to the 1st line?

You get add on line discount of $5 monthly as long as add on line is continued in the same account

You don't need or have to use the new sim card. But it's free, for future use. A freebie is never a bad thing.

What a deal! Hopefully BXD will be better deal also as all iPhone 11 are OOS.

Virgin data is supposed to be capped at 150 mbps, but I just ran a speed test at my office. Still pulled about 300 DL and 55 UL. Not bad! The highest DL I've ever gotten at the office was 400 DL on my old "uncapped" plan, but most have been in the 250-300 range.
