14 DAY TRIAL // Canadian mobile phone users have now the possibility to enjoy enhanced 3G services in the country on the airwaves of Virgin Mobile, as the wireless carrier has just announced the launch of its new HSPA+ network. At the same time, the company also said that its users could enjoy a wide range of high-end devices on with the newly enhanced services, so that their experience is enhanced.
“With the new HSPA+ network, Canadians have access to some of the world’s most coveted, high-tech phones from the company that truly cares about them and delivers them more than they could possibly want,” said Sir Richard Branson, chairman of the Virgin Group. “Since our launch, Virgin Mobile has consistently challenged itself to be the leader in delivering a brilliant customer experience and today is the start of a whole new world for Canadians in the choices they have open to them.”
Among the new mobile phones that are now available for purchase on Virgin Mobile's HSPA+ network, we can count the BlackBerry Bold 9700, the BlackBerry Curve 8530 the iPhone 3GS, and more. At the same time, the wireless carrier announced a series of other devices available for its users, including the Novatel Ovation HSPA+ mobile Internet stick or the Novatel MiFi Portal that can provide 3G connectivity to a number of up to 5 devices at the same time. Other wireless Internet services and SIM cards that can be used for roaming while abroad are also available for purchase, the company notes.
“As we boost our lineup with the smartest of smartphones like the BlackBerry Bold and other iconic brands, Virgin Mobile is now a true option for people searching for the best phones, the best experience, the best network and the best monthly plans,” said Robert Blumenthal, president, Virgin Mobile Canada. “Today, Virgin Mobile is transforming itself from being predominantly a pre-paid player to a company that is truly taking on the contract and monthly plan market. With global roaming, a super-fast network and a whole range of exclusive add-ons, this is just the beginning. It’s only going to get better from here with more new, high-tech phones and services to come throughout the year.”
