Boost Mobile jumped into the limelight earlier this year when it released its Unlimited Monthly Prepaid cell phone plan, which gives subscribers unlimited phone usage.
This looks like a good plan, even though there are some issues with what “unlimited” actually means. Boy Genius report wrote a post asking if Boost Mobile’s Unlimited plan is too good to be true? Apparently, there is some fine print that says Boost prohibits “unreasonable” phone usage. It is up to Boost to decide what is “unreasonable,” I guess.
I think the company will be very careful if they try to cut someone off of their prepaid service plan and that it is only including a clause like this in case of serious abuse of their unlimited service. Competition is high in the prepaid market and appearing to not offer what they claim could hurt Boost Mobile. I’m sure that subscribers who do not make insanely high numbers of calls or hundreds of text messages a day will be fine and will have no problems with Boost’s plan.
Here are the details of Boost’s Monthly Unlimited Plan

Unlimited Day, Nights, and Weekends

I like the fact that with Boost Mobile’s unimited plan you start to pay the shrinkage rate which means your bill goes down over the months and the longer you’re with them. It’s very cool. I don’t get the best reception where I live and work, but I like the price and the phones. I have the samsung transform ultra and I really like it even though it was kind of pricey–but when there’s no contract that is what I really go for.
Boost Mobile has as couple of great phone deals going on right now. They are on Amazon and there are a few at Best Buy that I’ve seen.
