Sprint Expands Boost Mobile $50 Unlimited Plan

boost-mobile-unlimited

It was reported today that Sprint will be expanding the coverage of Boost Mobile to all of its wireless platforms.

This is a good thing for Sprint and Boost Mobile customers (or even prospective customers) because it means there will be greater access to the popular $50 Boost Mobile Unlimited Prepaid plan.  Previously, the plan was only offered to Nextel iDen customers.

Sprint will also be offering some new handsets to operate on the Boost Mobile prepaid network.  One of them is the Blackberry Curve 8830.  We will probably see even more high tech phone availability on prepaid plans in the near future as companies continue to find an edge over the competition.  And customers tend to be attracted by flashy phone models, even in the prepaid space, although cost and service are the bigger concerns.

This expansion of Boost Mobile’s prepaid plan should help the company gain an even stronger foothold in what is becoming a very competitive prepaid marketplace.

Wal-Mart Prepaid Phone Plans by Straight Talk (TracFone)

If you’ve been paying attention to news in the prepaid phone plan world, then you may have heard that the Wal-Mart, the largest retailer in the country, now will be selling its own version of prepaid phones.

It’s a great headline and it’s true that since the company is backing the phone plans that they will be successful, but the plans aren’t exactly proprietary to Wal-Mart.

The prepaid plans at issue are under the brand Straight Talk, which is owned by TracFone. Truly, the two plans offered under the Straight Talk banner are very good plans and may be better options for many cell phone users out there.

The plans, like most pay as you go services, require no signed contract, no termination fees, and no real commitment other than the money customers have to pay for the actual phone handset and the monthly bill.

One is for 1,000 minutes and 1,000 text messages, with 30 MB of data for web surfing from the phone. This plan costs $30.

The second plan, which is getting really good reviews, is the Unlimited plan. Subscribers receive unlimited talk time texting and–in a recent addition to the plan–unlimited web browsing. This plan goes for $45 per month.

Both plans also come with free information (411) calls and run on a Mobile Virtual Network provided by Verizon.

People looking for prepaid deals might want to look at these plans first, which can be purchased online at straight talk’s website or in Wal-Mart locations across the country.

Unlimited Prepaid Plans – How they Work

Unlimited prepaid plans have recently surfaced as some of the best plans available for prepaid users or people interested in becoming a prepaid subscriber.

These plans are very affordable and the prices have been driven down by the competition in the marketplace.  Tracfone Straight Talk, Boost Mobile, and MetroPCS all have unlimited plans right around $40 to $50.

Since the average prepaid user spends about $56 a month (while the average contract based cell phone user pays $81) you can see that these plans have been driven down in price quite a bit.  These wireless providers have essentially trimmed five to ten dollars off of their plans while offering more services for the price.

This is a good thing for the prepaid wireless customer.  If you are looking for a new phone or a temporary cell phone, have a look at the plans from Tracfone Straight Talk, Boost Mobile Unlimited, and even MetroPCS.  You should be able to find some of the most affordable prepaid plans (or any plans for that matter) out there.

Unlimited plans give you unlimited talk time, unlimited text messages, and unlimited (or close to it) data usage.  Definitely look into these plans.  The only extra expense over and about the monthly charge is for the phone handset itself.
