i just found this and thought it was Canada but it says U.S

I think this still might be for canada, since the source is from mobile syrup.

The plans are pretty interesting though, more flexibility with voice minutes, but data takes a hit.

I think so too. One of the other articles listed at the top is about the Rogers Galaxy Note. Rogers operates only in Canada.

Virgin Mobile USA has nothing on Virgin Mobile Canada.

the weird part is that the title says US virgin mobile. Also that site reports on American cell phone companies. So if you go to the bottom of that page they are talking about american virgin mobile in another related articles. just because you see a canadian phone at the top doesnt mean anything. if you saw top then you should see the bottom of the page. we will see in a couple days that's the only way to really know

Na, those plans pretty much suck.

You're right, the caption mentions "other US-based carriers." But again, what I posted a while ago is purely conjecture.

Seriously. I really wouldn't hold my breath given that Virgin Mobile already made a price increase. VM doesn't strike me as a company known for quick decision-making. Besides, there's one other clue that should leave us more doubtful. One, Virgin Mobile USA isn't carrying Blackberry phones. It is possible they could introduce osome after these plans come into effect, but as we've discussed in other threads, the likelihood's rather low. I doubt Virgin Mobile will be willing to absorb the extra $10 monthly fee as it once did.

We'll just have to see. IMO neither of the plans present anything worth writing home about. :/

Looking at the original article,related news and comments, it becomes clear that this is VM Canada, not VM USA, which makes way more sense.

These plans are very different and in many ways a major step backward for VM USA.

i just pointed it out because it said US virgin mobile. the only one thing that leads me to believe its not US virgin mobile is the 7pm to 7am nights and weekends.i wouldn't be shocked though because of how much has changed in the prepaid market the last couple years

Rumors in general are annoying because nobody remembers to say whether they were talking about the United States, Canada, etc. Canada's plans are pretty hefty anyway, they always have been.
