Thats right the NEW boost $50 unlimited has no hidden fees!  This same plan used to cost over $75 plus fees per month.  So if its time for you to pay your monthly bill be sure to bring in a few extra bucks this month to save a lot with no fees and more services for less.  That means you will save about $30.00 a month… One of these new phones on this new plan is $29.99, the next is $39, then $49, and the most poplular one is a flip phone for $99.99  the I776. 

You can take your current boost phone numbers and move it to the new boost plan, but the phone you use needs to be an IDEN phone which can be purchased as Radioshack, BestBuy, Walmart, etc.  One thing I found was RadioShack staff will help move your number to the new plan and phone where most aren't even sure what this plan is or how it works. 

This new no fee $50 unlimited plan adds unlimited calling area, calls, to any network, texting, GPS, internet, walkie talkie, and photos can save you $360 a year.  Lets see the old plan was $75 for the same services + $5 fee= $80 a month less the new plan cost of $50 which is a monthly savings of $30!!!  x 12 months thats $360.00 a year!!
SWEET plus you get more features and unlimited calling area.  NO  CONTRACT and NO SNN needed.

Now here's the deal… FINDING these phones.  RadioShack seems to have started the program first in Texas with a small supply of phones that didn't support their demand within a very short period of time late Jan 2009.  Now Boost unlimited $50 plan is now everwhere from RadioShacks across the nation, to BestBuy, to Sprint stores, to Sprint private stores.  Looks like its another case where supply doesn't match demand (do we not learn from Xbox, WIIs, and IPods)

Course the only thing I see maybe an issue with this Boost new plan is filling the demand for phones and find a phone with a Qwerty keypad.  Boost looks to be marketing young men and college students.  They really need to relook at what they have.  The nearest thing to what they have is Metro PCS with a $45 unlimited plan but still doesn't include all that the Boost new plan includes.  Plus we all know Boost is the old nextel system who is now owned by Sprint… can you say bigger network!  A lot bigger network. Have no fear if you cross the street or are not in the city!

I have heard you can put your Boost sims card IDEN network into the any Iden phone to include Iden Blackberries but you wont get blackberry services.  Think those who are selling their old Iden blackberries may not know the true value of what they have selling their old units for $39 while the only thing in sprint stores is selling for $549… might want to raise that minium asked for. (unless its an old battery).

Boost will be bring out a qwery keypad Boost Unlimited phone in Apr and another looks to hit the market in Aug 2009 all under $200.00.  Will someone please take a cool phone like the Rant by Samsung or take a clue from Virgins Wild Card or Ocean phones.  This says we have good phones and great prices and that you can actually type a txt message vice waiting T9 to figure out what your trying to say.  Course there is one phone that is planned to hit sooner than later question is will there be enough made to fill the demand its called i465 Motorola with a Qwerty keypad. Here's a great article about it: http://www.newlaunches.com/

Boost  (aka  Sprint) your hitting the right idea  someone needs to expand on the market base, technology and make sure supply is out there to "help" those who don't want to sign another contract in these  trying times.  Lets not forget that many people don't want to pay $99 for  Sprints unlimited plan … or  ATTs plan  that  has  unlimited  calling at $99  but then add on the  txting for another $20  and media for another $20 and well you see where I'm going with this.

I have  of course left ATT and Sprint for this new boost plan and enjoy the savings… now I can afford to take the family out for  a movie and afford the popcorn  .
