She was on the 10 cents-a-minute anytime/anywhere/anyhow program (with auto top-up). I just checked online and see their per-minute rate has skyrocketed to 30 cents. Bell is to blame for screwing up Virgin (haa, haa, haa). Why Canadians have to continually get hooped by the wireless companies is beyond me. I bought my wife a Virgin phone 3 years ago.

To my knowledge, Virgin hasn't posted a profit yet in the US either, so turning things around in Canada to become profitable I would expect is a key strategic objective. Ultimately, customers benefit in the long run if companies/competitors can remain in business.
