Virgin Mobile Latin America (VMLA) launched operations in Chile in April 2012, after receiving regulatory approval from Chile's telecommunications regulator and signing an agreement with [[Movistar]], one of the country's leading mobile network operators. VMLA announced in June of this year its plan to become Latin America's leading mobile virtual network operator (MVNO).  Since then, the company has made significant progress towards its goal of beginning commercial operations in many countries. Chile was its first commercial operation in early 2012. Richard Branson commented: "We are excited to have made such good progress towards launching our first mobile business in Latin America in Chile. This is an exciting project for Virgin and we believe Virgin Mobile Chile customers will be delighted by the services we will be offering them at launch. We are very appreciative of Subtel’s (Chile’s Subsecretaría de Telecomunicaciones) prompt approval of our application," said VMLA's chairman Phil Wallace.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.virgin.com/media-and-mobile/news/virgin-mobile-latin-america-on-track-to-begin-operations-in-chile|title=Virgin Mobile Latin America on track to begin operations in Chile|access-date=2012-01-14|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20120123131459/http://www.virgin.com/media-and-mobile/news/virgin-mobile-latin-america-on-track-to-begin-operations-in-chile|archive-date=23 January 2012|url-status=dead}}</ref>

====Virgin Mobile Colombia====
Colombia was the second South American country that received the Virgin Mobile network. It launched officially plans and services on 3 April 2013, working with [[Movistar]]'s electromagnetic frequency. The high rate of active mobile lines in Colombia makes this country a good place to set telecom and networks operations. Virgin Mobile took advantage of the 4G spectrum auction in Colombia in June 2013 to release more data services with the fastest mobile speed in the world.

====Virgin Mobile Ecuador====
Operations in Ecuador were rumored to start in 2017, using Movistar's network. On 23 September 2019, the Ecuadorian government through a tweet from its former Communications Minister Andrés Michelena,<ref>{{Cite web|title=BNamericas - Ecuador gives Virgin Mobile second chance to...|url=https://www.bnamericas.com/en/news/ecuador-gives-virgin-mobile-second-chance-to-enter-mvno-market|access-date=2021-01-30|website=BNamericas.com}}</ref> informed about the signature of an agreement that allows Virgin Mobile to start officially its operations in the country. [[Richard Branson]] (Virgin Mobile CEO) and Ecuadorian president [[Lenín Moreno]] met in NY and signed the agreement.

====Virgin Mobile Mexico====
In early 2014, Virgin Mobile Latin America's site for Virgin Mobile Mexico was launched.  Since 10 April 2014, it has been possible to purchase micro, nano and regular sim cards through several points of sale located in shopping malls or over the internet. They have reached an agreement to use Movistar's network. In April 2014 they only offered basic prepaid service (voice SMS Data) on a pay-as-you-go basis, and were expected to introduce more diverse offers soon. In June 2016 Virgin Mobile Mexico started to offer LTE access using Band 2.
