Virgin Mobile rolls out new Flex Plan for Tablets

By on September 16, 2011 at 11:08am in Mobile News, Virgin Mobile News


Virgin Mobile is one of the carriers that just released the Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1 and they also just announced a new set of Tablet Flex data plans. Slightly different pricing and structure than what TELUS recently announced, Virgin has the the following available (there’s also a “one time Activation Fee of $35):

10MB or less: $5/month
10MB – 250MB: $15/month
250MB – 5GB: $35/month
5GB or more: 1.5cents/MB/month

To compare to TELUS’ structure, they have the their Flex Data Plan for Tablets with:

Up to 10MB: $5/month
10MB – 100MB: $10/month
100MB – 500MB: $20/month
500MB – 5GB: $35/month (anything over this is 2¢/MB)

(Thanks Tipster!)

    • Truth! Now that would be a nice deal! In this cse I think Telus is better simply because youre likely to cross 250, but not quite as likely to cross 500. At least thats my experience.

  5. Don’t Bell and TELUS have the 6gig/$30 plan? I would just get that on a myfi enabled device and call it a day.

    • Hey Dustin!

      Virgin is offering the 6gig of Data for $30 too, but it’s in Quebec only, like Telus and Bell.

      We will probably launch the $30/6gig of data offer in all provinces when we will release the next IPhone, just like we did last year.

  6. Why do you guys keep reporting this stuff? Canadian data rates being a ripoff is hardly news.

  8. Why do people have a separate data plan for their tablet? Just get the 6GB for $30 plan on your phone and tether or hotspot.

  9. By the way you can’t activate a 6 GB option on a myfi or a UsbStick… because the 6GB is an option. Not a plan. The 6GB option currently available is only compatible with current Voice plan.
