New Boost Mobile plan...

Am I missing something here?

Boost Mobile's new plan is Unlimited mins, Unlimited Text, Unlimited Data, NO contract, all for $50 bucks? Half the price of the everything plan. How attractive is a regular Sprint plan compared to that deal? Is there some hidden con I am unaware of? Yes you have to pay retail for your phone but that is quickly paid for with the 50 bucks a month savings.

You are missing a big fat deal-killer for a lot of the folks on this site: no free roaming outside of your local area.

I'm currently selling ca. 20 a week. All I have to say is it's amazing what people will put up with just to get a good price on something ....

I bought 2 of those for company usage, the texts message take for ever and the data plan is awful...I sent text messages to the guys using those and they got the message the next day.

yep, and normally it should throw up flags when you say, "excuse me, I need to step outside to activate your phones...." Their signal isn't the best at my store...

If you have really bad credit, and need a phone without deposit. Its cheap compared to other prepaid.....if you want the unlimted calling totally worth it.
