Wireless carrier Boost Mobile recently announced a series of enhancements brought to its popular $50 ‘Monthly Unlimited’ plan, including the addition of unlimited calls to 411, email and instant messaging to the already available features. Moreover, the company unveiled that its customers on the $60 BlackBerry Monthly Unlimited plan should also benefit from the unlimited calls to 411, as the plan already comes with unlimited email and instant messaging.

Starting with May 19, Boost Mobile's Monthly Unlimited customers will have yet another handset to choose from, namely the red Samsung Rant. The handset is set to become the first slider QWERTY phone available from the wireless carrier, and should sport a price tag of $149.99 when put on sale. The Samsung Rant will offer users faster access to multiple messaging options, making it a great choice when it comes to enjoying the newly added features to the no-contract nationwide Monthly Unlimited offer.

Boost Mobile is staying true to our offer of superior value with the Monthly Unlimited plan enhancements,” said Neil Lindsay, chief marketing officer for Boost Mobile. “Paired with the Samsung Rant, we make it even easier for customers to get unlimited access to some of their favorite Web-based email services while on the go—without breaking the bank.”

The specs of Samsung Rant from Boost Mobile include support for 3G High-Speed Data, a 2-megapixel photo snapper with digital zoom and video recording, Bluetooth, Speakerphone, built-in GPS receiver, access to web email, instant messaging, MMS, SMS, MP3 Music Player, access to downloadable Games, Wallpapers and Music Ringtones, support for Voicemail, Caller ID, Call Waiting and Call Forwarding, a microSD memory card slot with support for up to 16GB of additional storage space, and others more.

The Samsung Rant from Boost Mobile will be put on sale on May 19 on the carrier's website, priced at $149.99 excluding taxes, and it should arrive at Boost Mobile exclusive retail stores and via select independent wireless dealer locations in the weeks after.
