Virgin Mobile has launched a new Silver Plan for customers in Quebec which offers unlimited nationwide talk, text and 1GB of data for $45 per month, matching a similar deal from Koodo launched in early September. These offers are in response to a similar plan being offered by regional carrier Videotron, but only has 500MB data.
For those with unlocked iPhones, you can bring your own device and get an extra 10% off, bringing the price down to $40.50 per month. Data overages are $10/GB.
A comparable plan for those outside of Quebec, would require $65/month to get the same deal (Gold Plan, but with 2GB data). Get ready for Fido to match this shortly, right?

I live such a shitty life living in Ottawa and being 10 minutes away from Québec.

3rd world problems with Canadian wireless service
No.
We’re on a site dedicated to the iPhone. Isn’t that a given?
Would I be able to drive over to Quebec from Ottawa to setup a plan than change the number to an Ottawa number?
québec id is required, i wish.
Am I the only one thinking it’s still a shitty deal ? I get the same thing but with 6gb for 39.95$ with Videotron. I can even get a 400$ balance on a device over 24 months without extra fee on my plan.
“Fair For Canadians”
Ironic how canada-wide plans aren’t canada-wide.
Its really annoying that they want to be FAIR FOR CANADA! but they treat Canada not as one but Multiple small areas!
FAIR FOR CANADA – Equal Rights and Service to all Canadians not areas you want!
The $65/month plan comes with only 1GB not 2GB as this article claims. I signed up fo the Gold plan 3 months ago and it was $60, not sure why they bumped it up by $5. Plus, since I brought my own device, I get 10% off every month, so I pay $54+taxes. I am not a virgin though 🙂
wtf where is the $45 gold plan that u can see on the fucking leaflets, u cant find that online but at there dumb stalls
