Virgin Plus is a major flanker brand in Canada, running on Bell's Canada-wide network. Covering 99% of Canadians, Virgin Plus is one of the more affordable 4G LTE providers in Canada. The carrier readily supports family plan-type discounts with $5 savings on each active line on a multi-line account.

Virgin Plus doesn’t call them traditional “family share plans” the way some carriers do. Instead, they give you savings through add-a-line discounts, shared billing, shared perks, and Member Benefits, all under one account. This means you can consolidate voice, text, and data for your whole household without unnecessary complexity.

Does Virgin Plus offer family plans in Canada?


Virgin Plus supports a family plan-type structure, but not in the traditional “shared data bucket” sense that other carriers once used to. The flanker brand doesn’t typically offer a single shared data pool for all lines, but it does offer compelling multi-line discounts and perks that make family plans affordable and flexible.

Here’s what family plans look like with Virgin Plus in 2026:

  • Add-a-line discounts for each line on your account
  • Shared billing on one monthly statement
  • Ability to pick different plans for each line while still saving money
  • Access to Virgin Plus Member Benefits, a catalogue of deals and savings on entertainment, food, travel, and retail

While you can’t “pool” all data into one bucket, you can still build a multi-line family plan with some tantalizing savings and unified account management.

Virgin Plus add-a-line discounts and bonuses


Virgin Plus automatically applies discounts to additional phone lines under the same account. The more lines you add, the better the savings look in your total bill. This is perfect for parents adding phone lines for their kids or roommates who want to save a buck. The monthly savings are ultimately dependent on how many lines are on the account. With each active line, Virgin Plus adds a $5 discount, including the primary line.

For example, if a primary account holder operates on Virgin Plus' 60GB Talk & Text plan, their monthly cost would be $65/month. Now, if they add two additional lines on the 40GB Talk & Text plan and are enrolled in autopay, the total monthly cost would be as follows:

  • Line 1 (60GB Talk & Text plan): $55/mo

  • Line 2 (40GB Talk & Text plan): $50/mo

  • Line 3 (40GB Talk & Text plan): $50/mo

    • Monthly total: $140/mo + taxes

Using the same example, a family of three could save $15 a month, in addition to the $10 per account enrolled in autopay. Considering all factors, a three-line multi-plan can save around $540 annually. The annual savings ultimately depend on the number of lines on your account and the individual plans you choose.

How to add a line on Virgin Plus


Adding a line to your Virgin Plus account is easy, with multiple ways to do it:

  • Online through your account portal

  • In the Virgin Plus mobile app

  • By calling customer support

  • In store at a Virgin Plus location

If you choose to add a line via your account portal, you can follow these steps:

  1. Log in to your Virgin Plus account online or in the app

  2. Go to Manage plans or Add a line

  3. Pick a plan tier for the new line (Unlimited, Data Plus, etc.)

  4. Select whether you’re bringing your own phone or getting a new device

  5. Confirm discounts and view your updated monthly total

Once complete, you’ll see the new line on your upcoming bill along with the add-a-line discounts already applied.
