Number portability starts today 🙂

For far too long Canadians have had their mobile numbers held captive by phone companies. Now you have the right to take your mobile number with you anywhere you want! Now that your number is good to go we want to make sure that everyone makes the most of their new-found freedom.

This means that you can switch to any cell phone provider in Canada and take along your number 🙂

Expect loads of crazy deals and offers from carriers to try stealing customers from each other.

Virgin started the competition today with this awesome deal only for new customers that switch their phone numbers over. Switchover and buy any of Virgin’s cellphones from their website or another retailer and activate it today (March 14) by giving them a call, and they will give you a credit for the cellphone’s price.
