Virgin Mobile has officially launched their HSPA+ network that now supports the iPhone. Alongside the release, the company has introduced new price plans as well.
The company has launched two types of plans; Smartphone Combo plans that include a voice plan and a data plan or customers can opt to separate the two and choose a separate voice plan and separate data plan.
Note that Virgin is owned by Bell, so iPhone users will essentially be using Bell’s HSPA+ network for service.
