Just in time for back to school, Virgin Mobile is throwing some punches and getting super-charged with a new offer that gets Canadians the phones they want right now for less – and without having to sign on for a fixed-term contract.

Designed for those who love the latest phones but don't want to be locked in for a fixed term, the Virgin Mobile SuperTab™ is a way to get one of Virgin Mobile's super phones without paying the full retail price or locking in to a three-year contract. With this new way to pay, Members can get up to $500 off the retail price of a Virgin Mobile phone, including the hottest smartphones, and put it on their Virgin Mobile SuperTab.

The Virgin Mobile SuperTab is all about giving flexibility to our Members. Whether it's our exclusive Samsung Gravity 3, the hottest new touchscreen phone, or the BlackBerry® Curve™ 3G, now you can get the best price for your phone without committing to a three-year contract,” said Robert Blumenthal, President, Virgin Mobile Canada. “You get to pick how much you want to put on your Virgin Mobile SuperTab, what phone you want and even when you want a brand new one. Plus, just by using your phone, you're paying off your Virgin Mobile SuperTab balance or earning more for a new phone. It's win-win.

Get on the Virgin Mobile SuperTab!

  • Hooking up to the phone you've been longing for is super simple with just a few simple steps:
  • 1. Choose an awesome Virgin Mobile phone and put up to $500 of the price on your Virgin Mobile SuperTab.
  • 2. Every month, we take 10% of your bill and use it to pay off your Virgin Mobile SuperTab balance.
  • 3. Once you've paid your balance off, you can keep banking monthly toward a new phone and upgrade anytime!

Also, for a limited time with select smartphones, if you sign up for a Smartphone Combo Plan or a myPlan™ Monthly Plan with a data add-on, you'll get a 5% bonus towards your Virgin Mobile SuperTab – that's a super duper total of 15% of your bill each month! For those hitting the books this back to school, combine that with our Student Smartphone Combo plan that delivers unlimited talk and text to 10 friends across the country plus 500 MB of data all for just $50 per month.
