Virgin Mobile is one of the worlds most popular wireless communications brands. This stems from the fact that the brand operates in a number of countries as a result of a partnership between Virgin Group and an existing mobile network operator or mobile virtual network operator (MVNO) in the country. The cellular service provider has had operations in countries like the United Kingdom, Australia, Ireland, Russia, France, Saudi Arabia, United Arab Emirates, South Africa, Canada, Mexico, and the United States, where it is powered by the Sprint 4G LTE network.
