Virgin Mobile is shutting down. We can help you find your next plan.

What to do next

There are lots of great alternatives to choose from. Start by selecting one of the options below:


Want to change phone plan in the next five days? In addition to knocking 20% off its $40 SIM-only plan, Virgin Mobile is throwing in an extra 3GB, bringing your total inclusion up to 18GB per month.

Other plan features include unlimited talk and text, $200 credit for standard international calls and text, and data-free music streaming through services including Spotify and Google Play Music. You do however have to commit to a 12-month contract.

Of course, Virgin's deal isn't the only promo going around right now. If you're a university student, you can take advantage of an Optus back to school offer that gets you a 20GB phone plan for $36 per month on a 12-month contract. Or if you're after a prepaid plan, Vodafone is running hefty discounts on starter packs until the end of the month - and throwing in double data too!
