Virgin Mobile is shutting down. We can help you find your next plan.

June 2018: The Virgin Mobile brand is being phased out and plans are no longer available to purchase. The information on this page refers to plan details before this announcement.

What to do next

There are lots of great alternatives to choose from. Start by selecting one of the options below:


Virgin Mobile's pre-Christmas cheer continues, with the telco now running a limited-time offer on its popular $80 phone plan.

Sign on for the above plan on a 24-month contract, and you'll score a $20 per month access fee discount when you add a selected Samsung, Apple or Sony phone. Qualifying phones (and their monthly handset repayment costs) are below:

iPhone 7 (256GB): $19 per month over 24 months

iPhone 7 Plus (128GB): $19 per month over 24 months

iPhone 6s (32GB): $0 per month over 24 months

Samsung Galaxy S8: $0 per month over 24 months

Samsung Galaxy S8+: $5 per month over 24 months

Samsung Galaxy S8 & Gear S3 Bundle: $15 per month over 24 months

Samsung Galaxy S8+ & Gear S3 Bundle: $20 per month over 24 months

Samsung Galaxy S7: $0 per month over 24 months

Samsung Galaxy S7 & Gear Fit2 Pro Bundle: $8 per month over 24 months

Sony Xperia XZ Premium: $0 per month over 24 months

The above phone and bundle prices are in addition to your monthly $60 plan cost. So, for example, if you pick up the iPhone 7, you'll pay $79 per month ($60, plus $19 for your phone) over the 24 months of your contract.

Virgin Mobile's $80 plan: what's included?


Virgin Mobile's $80 plan includes unlimited standard national calls and texts, 16GB of monthly data, plus $300 of standard international texting and calling each month. You'll also get data-free music streaming from Spotify, Google Play Music and iHeartRadio, rollover of any unused data to the following month, and the ability to gift spare data to other postpaid Virgin Mobile users.

If that's not enough, the plan also features unlimited standard calls from Australia to seven popular countries, including China, Canada, India, New Zealand, Singapore, the United States, and the United Kingdom. 

Customers signing up before January 31, 2018, can also combine this offer with Virgin Mobile's $100 credit promotion. Pick up a new phone and plan, and you'll receive a bonus $100 of credit on your first bill. Awesome.

20% off SIM-only plans


Interested in Virgin, but not looking for a new phone right now? Good news: the company's 12-month SIM-only plans now come with a festive 20% discount when you sign on by January 31, 2018. The deal applies to the following Virgin Mobile 12-month SIM plans:

$30 per month plan (now $24 per month)

$35 per month plan (now $28 per month)

$40 per month plan (now $32 per month)

$50 per month plan (now $40 per month)

$60 per month plan (now $48 per month)

Virgin Mobile's $40, $50 and $60 SIM plans also include bonus data for customers joining before the end of January. 

So if you sign up for the $60 plan, you'll get a huge 22GB of monthly data for just $48 per month, plus unlimited standard national calls and texts, unlimited standard international calls to the previously mentioned seven countries, plus $500 of international credit, data-free music streaming, and data gifting and rollover. If you want to know more, we've got all the details here.
