Boost Mobile slashes prepaid rates, will modify unlimited usage plan

Sprint Nextel's Boost Mobile is doing anything it can to attract consumers, as evidenced by the 50% off fire sale on prepaid minutes. Yep, as of right now, Boost Mobile customers can phone up fellow sumo wrestlers while running up a bill at just $0.10 per minute compared to $0.20 per minute in the past. A Wall Street Journal report also states that it will be "modifying its unlimited-usage plan, though the company declined to specify how." Of note, the "new plans" may only be available in "select cities," so you should probably phone up a CSR or something to make sure you're really getting the lower rate. Or you can just holler "Where U AT?!" and see what kind of response you get.

I would like for you to find some sort of disease, and crawl into bed with it.

not really, I just read that on bash.org and thought it was funny.

how else can they change their unlimited plan though... im curious to see the changes.

I ran across this thread after looking at my account online. It seems that starting November 22 my push to talk has only charged me $0.50 each day that I used it. The "amount" still says $1.00 but looking at the actual balance it was only .50. Maybe another incentive??
