Virgin Mobile Canada is a cellular telephone company that was launched on March 1 2005 as a joint venture between Virgin Group and Bell Mobility.

History

Virgin Mobile launched in Canada on March 1, 2005 as a Mobile Virtual Network Operator (MVNO), in competition with services provided by Bell Mobility, TELUS Mobility and Rogers Wireless, though at the time, Virgin Mobile was operating solely as a prepaid service.

In February 2008, Virgin Mobile Canada launched postpaid wireless service, referred to as 'myPlan', offering a multitude of options, including the ability to set one's own timeframe for unlimited calling, as opposed to the windows generally offered by competing mobile companies.

Community Involvement

November 12, 2007 saw the launch of Virgin Unite Canada, a localised arm of Virgin Group's global charitable venture. Virgin Unite, Virgin’s global charity, has the primary objective of creating and supporting programs that foster an immediate, tangible change in the lives of people in need all around the world. The Midnight Magic fundraising gala, hosted by Sir Richard Branson, raised more than $2 million in supplies and donations to help impoverished areas of Sub-Saharan Africa.
