The Bell-owned flanker brand brings back a limited-time $45 CAD per month for 20GB data, with new activations only and an expiry date of Oct. 13.
Virgin Plus has brought back a short-lived $45 CAD per month plan for 20GB of data, available to new activations only and ending Oct 13. The offer includes a $10 autopay credit. Other Virgin Plus options remain, like a $50 CAD/month 60GB plan and a $55 CAD/month Canada‑US‑Mexico plan, both with no expiry noted. Existing customers aren’t affected. If you can sign up by Oct 13 and you only need about 20GB, this is worth a look. After Oct 13, promos will likely shift again.
Virgin Plus has quietly brought back a limited-time offer for Canada’s mobile shoppers. The Bell-owned flanker brand is once again listing a $45 CAD per month plan that includes 20GB of data for new activations only. The offer comes with an automatic credit of $10 per month for autopay and is set to end on Oct 13.
In practice, this means if you’re signing up with Virgin Plus for the first time and you’re comfortable with a 20GB data allotment, you can lock in a cheaper rate for a short window. The expiry date is the key caveat: the discount applies only through Oct 13, after which the plan could return to the carrier’s standard pricing.
Virgin Plus isn’t offering this price across all plans. For context, the carrier still lists a $50 CAD per month 60GB option and a $55 CAD per month Canada‑U.S.-Mexico option, both with 5G and without shown expiry dates. The new/old $45 plan sits alongside those choices, but it’s limited to new activations and comes with a reminder that the clock is ticking until Oct 13.
There’s also a small wrinkle in the mix: the carrier’s talk-and-text plan, which had moved up to $30 per month, has been returned to $25 CAD per month for this promo period, again with an Oct 13 expiry note. None of these promos affect existing Virgin Plus customers, who keep their current plans even as the $45/20GB option returns for new signups.
The broader takeaway for shoppers is simple: if you’re open to a 20GB data plan and you’re starting fresh with Virgin Plus, you’ve got a fleeting, cheaper option. If you don’t need that specific data allotment, or if you want a longer expiry or extra data, the other Virgin Plus plans continue to be available at their listed prices without a stated end date in the article.
For anyone weighing mobile data options in Canada, this is a reminder that promo periods and limited-time prices can pop up, especially with flanker brands tied to big carriers. If you’re in the market now or soon, this could be a fit if you anticipate your data needs around 20GB per month and you can complete activation before Oct 13.
The $50 CAD per month 60GB plan is the next closest option in Virgin Plus’s lineup, followed by the $55 CAD per month Canada‑U.S.-Mexico plan. If you expect to use more than 20GB or want a longer promo, those may be worth a look, noting the expiry date only applies to the $45/20GB deal for new activations.
The article notes Oct 13 as the expiry for the limited-time offers. After that date, carriers typically revert to standard pricing or roll out new promos. If you’re hoping the 20GB option sticks around at a lower price, you’ll need to watch Virgin Plus’s updates and any holiday promo shifts from Bell’s flanker brands.
