Reunited and it feels so good…
Motorola and Boost Mobile have apparently made amends, announcing today that the budget friendly KitKat touting Moto G will be available through the pre-paid carrier this month. The Moto G will be making an appearance on HSN today, and will become available for purchase beginning Tuesday, January 14th at www.boostmobile.com. The Moto G will cost a whopping $129.99 with no contract required.
Boost Mobile is celebrating the first Motorola device on its network since 2011 by adding a FM radio app called NextRadio to the device, as well as 50GB of Google Drive space for two years.
As far as plans go, Boost Mobile is pushing its $55 Monthly Unlimited Plan, which provides unlimited talk, text and data for one small fee. Making on time payments will pay off for you in the future, as Boost drops its plan pricing by $5 after six consecutive on-time payments. Pretty cool, huh?
January 14th is the big day, so make sure to head to Boost Mobile’s website to grab the Moto G for just $129.99.
Boost Mobile Reunites with Motorola to launch Smart and Stylish Moto G with NextRadio
Thursday, January 2, 2014 1:00 pm EST
IRVINE, Calif.–(BUSINESS WIRE)–Boost Mobile, a leader in the no-contract wireless industry with its exclusive Monthly Unlimited plan with Shrinking Payments, will debut Moto G, by Motorola, a Google Company, on the HSN, HSN.com and HSN mobile today, Jan. 2. The Moto G will be available Tuesday, Jan. 14 at www.boostmobile.com and select Boost Mobile exclusive retail stores nationwide starting Jan. 20. This represents the first Motorola handset on Boost Mobile since 2011.
Priced at only $129.99, Moto G packs the features consumers want at a price that won’t break the bank, all without an annual contract. The affordable 3G smartphone comes with an impressive and highly durable 4.5-inch HD screen made with scratch-resistant Corning® Gorilla® Glass and sports a super-fast 1.2 GHz Qualcomm® Snapdragon™ quad core processor. Moto G is loaded with Android 4.3 Jellybean with a guaranteed upgrade to Android 4.4 KitKat expected as early as February, making the Moto G the most up-to-date Android of any phone in its class. Customers also have the freedom to express themselves with a variety of colorful interchangeable backs, available from Motorola directly.
Moto G will come preloaded with the free interactive FM radio application NextRadio®. With NextRadio, listening to FM radio on smartphones is a new type of interactive radio listening experience. When compared with streaming, NextRadio consumes about three times less battery life than other music apps. That’s because the audio is coming through a built-in FM tuner instead of over the Internet.
For extra protection, Moto G has a water-repellent coating on the outside, meaning that a little rain won’t get in the way when taking a call. In addition, customers get an extra 50GB of Google Drive storage for two years and, as with all Android devices, Moto G owners have access to more than 1 million apps and content in the Google Play Store.
Additional key features of the Moto G include:
- 5MP-enhanced camera with panoramic and continuous shot
- All day battery, 2070 mAh
- Stereo Bluetooth 4.0 capable
- To entice consumers to switch to Boost Mobile, Moto G is offered on Boost’s no-contract $55 Monthly Unlimited plan. Boost Mobile rewards its customers for simply making on-time payments. Unique from the competition, for every six on-time payments, the cost of the Boost Mobile Monthly Unlimited plan shrinks by $5 to as low as $40 per month for unlimited nationwide talk, text and data. Payments do not need to be consecutive to qualify for the next savings milestone.
