These are pretty decent, some of the few plans that actually offer caller id and voicemail.

Virgin should be ashamed. The $65 plan should have 6GB.

For once I’m asking the Big 3 to release plans that are better than the previous ones and not the opposite. Like how is this $65 plan better than the 6GB plan? Is that too much to ask for?? Oh wait…

Terrible plans. I hope WIND realizes there are so many people just waiting on them to get past the beta stage and we’ll jump ship.

I’m actually just waiting for them to offer service where I live. I got into Bell with a $55 plan for everything the $50 plan has + 150 more minutes, and it’s 5gb of data.

Except after wind is out of “beta” their prices will go up. Wind is cheap for a reason.

“Update: It looks like Bell has the same plans, but is offering up a bonus of 10 hours of Mobile TV on $65/month plan.”
This is the kind of BS you get when you allow service providers to also act as content providers. “Mobile TV” is just a fancy marketing for “extra bandwidth as long as you access our inferior video content.” Thanks Bell, for once again spitting in the face of net neutrality.

What a joke. With phones being almost as powerful as a laptop, with LTE, tons of apps, etc. what makes carriers think that 1Gb is enough nowadays? 1Gb should be the new 500mb, 3Gb should be 1gb, and 6Gb should be for high usage people.

Lol, worst plans they’ve released in a while $50 with 200mb, really? Horrendous at best.

I must say that the Canadian wireless companies are a huge rip off, even there sub brands keep on jacking up the prices which is ridiculous. Seems like we’re going back wards with plans like the old days when smartphones weren’t popular and all you would get is 5mb of data…I remember I had a plan with telus before that was 60 dollars. Ah well glad I have my 55 dollar plan.

So offering LTE means faster speeds and lowering your data cap, I’ll take HSPA then any day. Seriously how do you come up with this nonsense?

Let me get this straight: $50 for 100 mb of data? Give me a f*****g break. I thought 500 mb was bad, 100 mb would just be completely useless for anything more than the odd email or iMessage. Data caps should be going UP, no down to these pathetic levels.

I doubt they will release them anytime soon … probably in a couple of months or so … they especially Koodo’s one were extremly good while they lasted so probably next time ppl should jump to them while they can!
to me Virgin seems to be moving in Fido’s path crappy plans and no goodies or anything to make them standout!

These plans look horrible — the Big 3 are getting even more greedy. 6GB for 60-$65/mo is a good deal if you want that much data.. but I only want about 500MB and I want to pay less, not more. If I were a new customer right now, there’d be no way for me to get what I want for $50.
This makes my current $50/mo plan with 500MB plan look “good”, and I’m wondering if that’s the point. Are they just conditioning us to think $50/mo is a good deal? I’m unhappy paying this much as it is and this just makes me even more eager to jump ship to Mobilicity or Wind when they’re available in my area.

If this is the going rate for LTE, I will gladly keep 3G/HSPA as I really don’t care if I wait a few seconds longer but you better keep my data prices lower to compensate!!

These plans are so terribly over priced and lacking in data that this story has broken state side laughing at our joke offerings from our carriers.
It’s not hard to join them in their chorus of laughs either, this is crap, people are reporting GBs included in their plans for half the cost from much lesser countries.
Shame on the Canadian carriers, much shame.

Happier with the $60 deal I got from Bell last month on that promo with the 6GB data, unlimited calling to my favorite 10 numbers, unlimited texts, LTE speeds where I live, 10 hrs mobile tv etc
If it had caller id and voicemail it would be perfect.
