What are Diamond Phone Plans of Virgin Mobile in Canada being offered right now?
Get up to $900 off the retail price of your phone on a two year agreement.
Virgin is offering some of the best mobile plans for Canadians. There are basically three such plans right now : the Diamond Plan; Diamond Plus Plan and Platinum Plan. Lately Virgin Mobile has launched this new ‘Diamond Plus’ rate plan tier for new and existing subscribers across Canada. The new rate plan provides users with 5GB of data, an additional 5GB of bonus data, unlimited Canada-wide minutes, unlimited text and picture messaging to Canada and the U.S. and unlimited worldwide text messaging from Canada for $96.
Much like the slate of ultra-tier plans from Rogers, Bell and Telus, Virgin’s Diamond Plus plan adds an additional $200 subsidy to the existing Diamond plan savings. For instance, an iPhone X on a Diamond plan has an upfront cost of $529, while the same phone on a Diamond Plus plan costs $329.
The new plan adds an additional $200 subsidy on top of existing Diamond plan savings.
It’s worth noting that once subscribers activate a Diamond Plus plan, they won’t be able to migrate to a lower tier while on contract. According to Virgin Mobile’s website, the plan is only available in-store or over-the-phone.
