Boost Mobile’s New Prepaid Unlimited Plans for BlackBerry Curve 8330
Posted by admin in boost mobile on January 13, 2010
Boost Mobile will be launching a new unlimited plan for CDMA phones on Sprint’s nationwide network in early 2010.
As of now, there are only a couple of phones that will operate on this plan. One is the Sanyo Incognito ($149.99). The other is the BlackBerry Curve 8330 ($249.99).
The Sanyo Mirro will also be available with this plan.
It’s a great thing that you can now use prepaid service with BlackBerry Curve. Smartphones are slowly but surely moving into this part of the market. T-Mobile released BlackBerry compatible prepaid plans during the holiday season to try to get a leg up on the competition with the segment of the market that wants a high quality phone but affordable cell service.
Smartphones do come at a higher cost, though, with the BlackBerry Curve ringing in at just about $250.00.

T-Mobile Prepaid Blackberry Plans Released
Posted by admin in t-mobile prepaid on November 19, 2009
T-Mobile will allow the popular smartphone Blackberry to be used as a prepaid phone on its service plans. This move to a prepaid Blackberry by T-Mobile comes a few days before the holiday season kicks off. You might call it perfect timing, especially in an economy where prepaid is starting to look really good and the competition in that space is quite tough.
FierceWireless reports that the “T-Mobile Complete” package gives subscribers the choice between various handsets, with a price that includes the first month of service. The lowest priced handset is just under $60.
These unlimited “no-contract” service plans will start at $50 per month and range up to $79. Some of the phones T-Mobile customers will be able to choose from include Blackberry Curve 8520, Samsung Gravity, and the Samsung t229.
The phone handsets are not that cheap–not that you would expect to get a bargain basement deal on a Blackberry. Blackberry Curve 8530 retails at $299 (which you have to add to the monthly fee for the plan you choose to get a real feel for what this plan will cost you).
T-Mobile has slowly been focusing more on the prepaid sector of the market and has seemed to methodically moving with a new cohesive game plan. A few months ago, the wireless provider released one new unlimited prepaid phone plan called “Even More Plus.”
Even More Plus provides subscribers (who pay the no-contract monthly fee) with unlimited voice, text, and web browsing for around $80 per month. For about twenty bucks less, T-Mobile users can opt out of the unlimited web browsing feature and just have the talk and voice options.
It was interesting to see the details of this new prepaid plan because it is not as competitive as people would have hoped. Sure, T-Mobile has what you might call a loud voice in the cell phone industry and can easily get its message out to a lot of people which is part of the game, but still, with competition from Straight Talk (TracFone’s value prepaid brand with a $45 Unlimited plan that runs on Verizon’s MVNO) you would expect something a little more aggressive.
If you are a prepaid user that wants a prepaid Blackberry, it’s your lucky day. You can buy the T-Mobile Complete package at Best Buy and Wal-Mart.
