    • It says Unlimited canada wide calling in that screenshot. But it doesn’t have caller ID like it used to.

  5. Considering Virgin Mobile had that plan including call display last month, it’s kinda disappointing they didn’t improve the 35 incoming plan.

  7. I remember Koodo has this kind of plan, but with call display included.

    Why is call display even an add-on? I don’t know of anyone who doesn’t have call display.

  9. They actually had this plan in September WITH caller ID… Something’s not right here.I remember when I signed up with them the guy told me I could get this (35$) and 30$ 6GB for grande total of 65$/month… I got the 55$ my10 (which is now 60$)… They really need to include caller ID in all plans.

  10. Let’s compare prepaid and postpaid:

    Prepaid: 150 outgoing local minutes, unlimited outgoing after 19 h, unlimited incoming calls when in your local calling area, unlimited Canada/USA SMS, caller ID, voice mail 10, call waiting, call transfer and conference calling.

    Postpaid: 200 outgoing Canada-wide minutes, unlimited outgoing after 17 h, unlimited incoming calls anywhere on the Bellus network, unlimited Canada/USA/international SMS and MMS, call waiting, call transfer and conference calling.

    i would be inclined to choose prepaid because of the calling features and no need of a credit check or a contract of any sort. However, postpaid includes more calling minutes, plus Canadian long distance, MMS, and international messaging. Virgin’s prepaid offerings aren’t as great as unlimited carriers, but if you live outside of the urban area, Virgin has a difficult-to-beat plan.

    • Sorry, i can’t edit my comment. But both plans i mentioned cost $35. Usually, purchasing a Virgin prepaid phones includes$30 of credit when one choose this plan. Therefore, it would only cost a reasonable $5 for the first month.

    • Yep! If you have to sign a contract in Canada the best times are: mid December and the back to school season. if you are renewing; always say ” Cancellations” talk to retentions and quote a better offer. You have to be proactive, one hour on the phone could be $10 less per month, for 12,24,23 months!

  12. IMO, they should bring back the flexi-option type plan they used to have a few years back (yeah, been working there for a while). It had a base plan plus one of 4 options. In this case the options should be incoming (the plan above), 5-10 numbers (the existing one), caller id + vm (why isn’t available is beyond me), and maybe 100mb of data. It should be like this for every tier, 20, 25 etc.

  13. Say goodbye to the $50 voice plans with Data; they are so 2010!
    The plans “IN” are the $30-35 voice plans plus $7 for Caller ID plus $7 for Voice Mail + the $30 for 6GB data. And STILL for three years!!

  14. What do they mean by: “Unlimited Canada, U.S. and International text and picture messaging?”

    If you can text all over the world then its a good addition; but if its the usual free texting to Canada and the US; then its nothing new and they are just adding lines to the description of the usual “free texting”

    Can anyone clarify this?

Unlimited Data. Voicemail, caller Id included. Cr@ppy 9pm calling, Cr2ppy weekend calling, 1gb of data is so outdated and boring.

  17. Canada Wide Calling is such a scam….cell phones are meant to be carried around, and no matter where you are in Canada, you are connecting to the same network. It’s BS.

    • Canada Wide Calling should indeed be a default,…the scams are the plans that start charging you long distance for calls from people not in your area code.
