I'm from usa looking to relocate to canada.


I use virgin mobile here in the usa. My phone is the smartphone LG optimus v. I paid around 120 for it brand new a while ago and now the price had dropped down a lot due to new phones etc. I'm on the month to month play for 35/month plus tax which comes to less than 40.


I only get it because i want unlimited internet on the phone and i have 2gb of 3g internet and anytime i go over that, it goes to 2g but that never happens b/c its hard to use that much data. I have 300 anytime minutes as i dont call my phone much. Have unlimited text as well. i could pay for unlimted everything for 55/month plus tax but i rarely even go over 200 minutes so that is not necessary for me.


I'm thus cancelling my plan here in the usa b/c i wont be in usa for a few months and thus its month to month so i could cancel it. I want to know can i use the same phone in canada and use the plans there with my current phone? I do know the cell phone plans in canada are more expensive.


Or would i need to buy a canadian android phone from virgin mobile and thus this phone can't be used to have a canadian plan there?
