Boost Mobile Prepaid helps turns the cell phone world green.
Boost Mobile has been making noise since early this year when they released their $50 monthly unlimited plan. This move put the company in the news quite a bit and may have had some influence on Verizon’s prepaid unlimited plan that was released a few months later.
Boost is trying to do its part to help keep landfills free of “e-waste” by offering a a new starter kit ($19.99) that comes with a SIM Card that can be inserted into any Boost Mobile or Nextel cell phone and which instantly awards the user $10 in call credit.
This is also a way for Boost to get more people easy access to the new unlimited plan, which is part of the goal–not to take anything away from the honest effort to get more people to use older phones. Let’s be honest, they are a business and the phone purchase is not where these companies make their money. They make it from having a large amount of subscribers.
Cell phone recycling is a great move for anyone and I think anything a company can do to try to deter waste is commendable. If you have a used cell phone lying around there is a great program called cell phones for soldiers that helps US sodiers stationed overseas stay in contact with their families affordably.
