| Anybody on Virgin?? Looking for super basic plan
any body using virgin mobile? I'm looking to port 2 lines into a super basic plan. but with decent reception and doesn't have to bother with AWS phones.
I was recommended by a bell salesman when I got my note 2.
Virgin was having this plan
$30
150min daytime
7pm evening/weeknd
Call display/ Voice mail
canada wide calls
unlimited text, picture msg
200mb data
and I can pretty much get a Razr V for free or some other android I forgot what on a TAB.
I'm looking to switch over my moms plan + my cousin (who isn't here for more than 3 months a year)
any opinions on virgin or other recommendations? Both of them will barely use any minutes, and getting a free phone while not technically on contract is a plus  |

Koodo/Virgin are the best options for that price range and plan until the end of December. Both offer the same $30 plan but phone options are the differences.
They also share the same network, since Telus/Bell share their HSPA+ network.

The other option is do prepaid, pay for the phone up front, and in the case of Virgin, you can basically add what you need, from $0.35/min or change it to a higher prepaid option as necessary while they're here.
Not everything need be postpaid, after all.

I got virgin, on a month to month without contract. If you do the 30 and are willing to sign a 2 year contract and discuss your porting over 2 numbers, you can most likely talk them down to a $5 or so discount per month per line. Theres a Virgin Canada facebook group and on there you can find the email address for the virgin care support dude. If you email him telling him u have 2 numbers and deciding between them and koodo, i'm sure you'll get something thrown in. I did the same a couple years ago and have a permanent $5 month discount.

^^ well it would be nice to get a phone since its free on tab. I'm looking to get the Razr V or S3 but the Razr comes with a $100 prepaid visa.
