14 DAY TRIAL // Wireless carrier Boost Mobile announced on Tuesday that it had dropped the prices for its ‘UNLTD By Boost’ services. The result of this change is that all customers who have such a plan and who were paying more than $50 per month will see a reduction of the monthly cost of their services of up to $20 per month. At the same time, the carrier also announced that users who would not benefit from the price cut would see “greater value added to their plan with a bundled combination of nationwide talk, text and Web for $50 per month plus applicable taxes and fees.”
Along with performing price drops for the services it offers to its subscribers, Boost Mobile also announced that it had eliminated the home calling areas and that from then on users would be able to make and receive calls anywhere on the Sprint nationwide CDMA network without paying the roaming charge of 15 cents per minute. The new changes are applicable to all existing and new ‘UNLTD By Boost’ customers, effective July 14.
“Our primary focus is to grow Boost Mobile on the Nextel National Network,” said Matt Carter, president of Boost Mobile. “However, we haven’t forgotten about our valued UNLTD By Boost customers on the CDMA network. We’ve simplified our portfolio, which allows us to continually serve each and every one of our customers with one of the best values in the industry.”
The new $50 per month rate will apply to all Boost customers on “the UNLTD $50 Unlimited Talk, $60 Unlimited Talk & Text or $70 Unlimited Talk, Text & Web plans.” At the same time, all of these customers will benefit from the unlimited nationwide talk, text and Web offerings from the carrier, not to mention the fact that long-time customers who were on the original UNLTD $35 Unlimited Talk, $40 Unlimited Talk & Text or $45 Unlimited Talk, Text & Web plans from the wireless carrier will continue to pay the same prices as before.
Boost Mobile also stated that the UNLTD offer was available in 13 states in the country, including Alabama, Arkansas, California, Florida, Georgia, Hawaii, Louisiana, Mississippi, Nevada, North Carolina, Oklahoma, Tennessee and Texas. “The current configuration of our UNLTD billing system prevents complete parity with the Monthly Unlimited offer, but these measures are a step in the right direction,” Carter added.
