How to pay Virgin Plus mobile phone bill online? Is it possible to add a Pre-authorized payment for my Virgin Plus Mobile phone bill monthly?

Question

I love to shop around for the cheapest yet reasonable mobile phone plan carrier in Canada, and so i had been faithful to a few handful of mobile phone carrier like Fido, Chatr and most recently with Lucky mobile. 

I have had no problem using lucky mobile phone connection but i find the 3G data connection too slow for some of phone activity. I wanted a fast data connection to occasionally monitor my home CCTV Camera, whenever i get a alert notification from my CCTV Camera. Sadly Lucky Mobile data connection couldn't deliver on its data speed and i used to spend my time just looking at my CCTV camera App keep loading in a loop, without showing any video. 

Luckily, one day i received a text msg from lucky mobile offering a great mobile phone plan for the same price, if i switched over to Virgin Plus (Previously known as Virgin Mobile). I understand that they both run on the same "Bell" network. The only difference is that Virgin Plus was giving 4G Fast LTE data connection which was what i needed to monitor my Home CCTV Camera. 

Without thinking much, i took up the Virgin Plus phone plan by signing up at a Kiosk inside a nearby mall and i was happy with 2GB monthly fast LTE 4G data connection for the same price as i used to pay Lucky Mobile. 

Then i realized that in a hurry i had forgotten to ask the sales representative, how would i be receiving my monthly bills, and what are the ways i could use to pay my mobile phone bills. I also wanted to add a pre-authorized payment option, charged to a credit card of my choice, so i wouldn't miss any of my mobile phone bills. I find that it is so much easier to manage my monthly bills, if i made them pre-authorized payment.
