Has Virgin Mobile moved to O2?

Virgin Mobile runs on Bell’s network , which is one of the most reliable and farthest-spanning networks in the nation. Virgin Mobile’s 4G LTE network covers over 99% of Canadians, meaning you can rest assured you’ll receive great coverage—as long as you live in a highly-populated area.

O2 operate their own network, where Virgin currently use Vodafone’s. However, Virgin Media have just bought O2, so Virgin Mobile might end up using the O2 network in the future . We’ll update this page if they do. They’re both joint-best choices for calls and texts.

A new newspaper report today states that Virgin Media (VMO2) has moved to cancel their 5-year Mobile Virtual Network Operator (MVNO) agreement with Vodafone UK , which was signed prior to the £31bn merger with O2 and replaced a prior MVNO deal with EE (BT).

It is owned by Virgin Media which is part of Virgin Media O2. The company was launched by Virgin Group in 1999 as the world’s first mobile virtual network operator (MVNO). As a virtual operator, Virgin Mobile does not maintain its own network and currently uses the EE and Vodafone networks .
