Starting with October 6th, Android mobile phone users on Boost Mobile's airwaves will have to pay more for their unlimited services, the wireless carrier has just announced.

Starting with that date, the mobile operator will ask $5 (3.65 Euros) more for the unlimited data and messaging services that it has put in place for the owners of devices running under Google's Android operating system.

However, the wireless carrier also notes that the only thing that will change to this plan will be the initial monthly cost, and that only those customers new to Boost Mobile will be affected by the new move.

“Like the existing Monthly Unlimited plan, the new Android plan includes unlimited nationwide talk, text, Web, email and calls to 411,” the company announced.

“In addition, the new Android Monthly Unlimited plan will still come with shrinking payments where the longer you stay, the less you pay.”

Provided that users will be capable to make six on-time payments, they will see their Android Monthly Unlimited plan shrink by $5.

This will happen for every six on-time payments, and will end up on having the monthly plan available for only $40 (29.27 Euros) a month, which is only $5 more than what the currently available Monthly Unlimited with Shrinkage plan costs.

Moreover, the wireless carrier notes that users won't have to make consecutive payments to qualify for a savings milestone.

The wireless operator also notes that all of its Existing $50 Monthly Unlimited customers who own an Android-powered mobile phone will be able to keep their current price plan after October 6th as long as the account won't be let to expire.

“Existing Monthly Unlimited customers upgrading to a CDMA Android-powered device on or after Oct. 6, will add a $5 monthly charge on their current monthly payment without losing any of their accrued Shrinkage savings,” the wireless carrier also notes.
