Is it coming to Kansas? My dad said that he would get me an iPhone if they switch to Virgin Mobile. My parents will only let me use Virgin Mobile cuz it is the cheapest they could find and there nice people.

Virgin mobile Canada IS 100% owned by Bell. They used to be 50% owners but in May 2009 became 100% owners.

Virgin is not OWNED by Bell. They just buy Bell network access in bulk and then package it and sell it to low end consumers such as teenagers and infrequent cel phone users. By low end I mean low $$/month. Consumers that Bell packages do not fit very well.

@Adriflo: since Bell Canada went GSM, and since Virgin Mobile Canada is owned by Bell they're going GSM as well. So yes they were, but now they're also GSM.

And since they are owned by Bell, we really still just have 3 providers in Canada offering it now (I don't count Fido as it's owned by Rogers).

Because of Virgin’s relationship with Bell, they will have 3G and share their 21mbs HSPA network.
