Virgin Plus website
Back on Monday, we told you about a change that occurred last spring/summer sometime when Bell’s Virgin Plus had increased its data overages to $153.60 for 1GB, a 12% increase over the previous rate of $137.60 for 1GB.
Fast forward two days later to Wednesday, Virgin Plus coincidentally lowered the data overage rate to $20 for 1GB, up to the first 8GB, then $0.02/MB thereafter ($20.48 for the next 1GB). That’s an 87% price reduction for data overages, should customers choose to accept them.
Check out the new Virgin Plus screenshot below from its website:
Here’s what it used to look like:
A Bell spokesperson told iPhone in Canada in a statement this was a scheduled change for March 8, 2023.
As it stands, Telus-owned Koodo has data overage rates of $13/100MB still, or $130/1GB. It’s unclear if Koodo will lower its data overages like Virgin Plus.

No one can say iphoneincanada doesn’t have clout within the industry.
thanks sir!
One thing I know for sure, one day I’m reading about insane overage rates on this website and not two days later, the rate is drastically reduced.
Coincidence or are Virgin execs reading your website – until proven otherwise, I choose the latter.
Keep it coming Gary…
Wait until everyone else follows suit. Maybe collusion works only to increase prices 🤣
That’s actually a reasonable price for overages, not $150/ GB which seems predatory.
Virgin increased my 45$/12gb to 48.50$ but offer a 45$/18gb plan…
Just switched, will never understand those price increase when they offer better plan for less
But why I still get a super high charge for my 2.29GB overage, and get no alert for that?
2.2882 GB cost me $335.47
