It seems like Boost Mobile is trying to become super competitive in the Pay in Advance market. Boost Unlimited has been available in some markets and it has tethered off Sprint’s CDMA network, while Boost Pay Go tethered off Sprint’s iDen (Nextel) network. Boost Unlimited was fairly successful in the markets it came out in, but could not really compete with Cricket and Pocket’s much lower rates.

The plan is supposed to launch January 22nd, and I think it can make a big splash in the wireless world. Many people had Boost Pay Go for the unlimited walkie talkie, but now that you factor in unlimited voice and text, you have a double whammy. I can even see some small business that do not want a contract benefiting from this. Think about it 5 lines Instant communication with Direct Connect and no worries of overage for $250. Not too bad if you ask me.

Boost has a variety of phones and if you would like to set one up contact us. If you want the best possible devices for your business, TAKE THE CHALLENGE!!!

We usually write about the newest applications we have heard about or tried, accessories, or the news in the wireless industry. We like to give tips and tricks on how to make your phone work for you, but seldomly do we recommend wireless carriers. The best carrier for you usually is based on your needs versus what they offer.

I have noticed that some Contract Carriers have had their credit requirements become stricter and have been asking for a higher deposit. At The Phone Store we understand everybody does not have a great credit score and we do not feel that you have to have perfect credit to get a cell phone. Boost Unlimited and Cricket are great pay in advance wireless carriers.

Most contract carriers offer unlimited plans for the $100 range. Don’t get me wrong it is a great value considering the huge variety of features that some of the carriers offer. But, Boost and Cricket both offer Unlimited Minutes for $50 or less. They both have very reasonable text or web options and a decent variety of phones.

Now beware, the rate is almost unbeatable with these carriers, but keep in mind they are ideal for people that do not travel out of their calling area. Boost Unlimited charges a 15¢ a minute for calls outside of your home calling area. In Texas they allow you an extra $5 attachable that gives you most of Texas and Oklahoma. If you wanted to go to New York you have to put extra money on your account so the minutes pull from your balance.

Cricket has some great options for roaming, and they include a certain amount of roaming minutes on their higher tier plans. Overall Cricket is the less expensive of the two Pay in Advance services, but has a slightly smaller calling area. They trump that with the level of flexibility and number of plans they have. So as always do your homework to find what is best for you, and if you have any questions contact us.
