I am looking at their $50 plan and virgin offering free call ID and vm, and bell isn't offering any, but they are almost the same plan to me someone told me virgin is under bell and using bell's towers, but they are cheaper. is it because the coverage area isn't bigger than bell Last edited by titaniumtux on Jun 25th, 2012 5:02 pm, edited 1 time in total.

The service is exactly the same.... Koodo is owned by Telus and runs on Telus towers.... They are simply sub brands....

Bell doesn't entirely own VM, they have a license to use the name or brand. As i'm sure many of you know, Virgin and Virgin Mobile are mega brands owned by billionaire, Sir Richard Branson, Bell bought and retained rights to use its license exclusively in Canada to fool the public and give the illusion of choice. VM uses Bell's towers and Network, and even distro channels. Each Virgin Mobile branded entity acts independently from the others, handsets, service plans and network radio interfaces vary from country to country. In a given country, the Virgin Mobile wireless entity is typically a partnership between Sir Richard Branson's Virgin Group and an existing mobile network operator or mobile virtual network operator. Oh yeah Bell also owns PC Mobile too in case you didn't know. ➡Ne0's Bio: ➡Retired [email protected] & t3
