Boost Mobile has revamped its International Connect $10/month add-on plan for Monthly Unlimited customers to include unlimited calls to Canada (excluding Northern Territories) and landlines in Mexico City, Guadalajara and Monterrey. In other words, if you agree to pay $10 on top of the Monthly Unlimited plan, you get: Unlimited calling to Mexico – Mexico…

Following on a leaked image of the device codenamed “Opus One,” we’ve stumbled upon a new set of hands-on videos that shows off Nextel’s upcoming Android phone in some detail – as much…
Black Friday Mobile Deals – Best Buy
For those of you who are making the pilgrimage to Best Buy Friday morning, I hope you did some working out beforehand as trying to pick up a TV or a refrigerator without any kind of preparation will not end well. If you’re anything like me, years of being a hermit has turned your body…
Super low-end Motorola i410 lands at Boost Mobile
Motorola i410, which we saw at the FCC roughly a month ago, has been officially announced and it’s heading to Sprint-owned Boost Mobile. As it’s usually the case with iDEN phones, specs won’t impress many, and the same is true for the phone’s design. To be fair, that keyboard kinda reminds me on the Nokia…
Boost Mobile adds calling and texting to Puerto Rico and U.S. Virgin Islands to its $50 Monthly Unlimited and UNLTD By Boost plans
Sprint-owned Boost Mobile announced that calls and texts to Puerto Rico and U.S. Virgin Islands are now included in their $50 Monthly Unlimited and UNLTD By Boost plans. And while we’re not sure that’s such a big news in times of the cheap VoIP calls, I guess those with friends and/or relatives in the two…
Motorola i856 Debut lands at Boost Mobile
The Motorola i856 Debut has landed at Boost Mobile. We’ve first seen the somewhat stylish slider (for an iDEN device) “in the wild” back in March, and honestly, I’m not sure why it took so long for both Moto and Boost to launch this phone. It’s not like there’s something really special about the Debut.…
Motorola ROKR coming to an iDEN network near you?
Details are slim, but Boy Genius Report has gotten their hands on an image of a Motorola ROKR slider that is apparently headed to an iDEN network in the US. The Moto ROKR musicphone you see here is likely on its way to Sprint or Boost (or both) sometime this year. The iDEN segment sorely…
Motorola i465 Clutch coming in graphite next Tuesday on Boost Mobile
In an effort to boost sales of its low-end QWERTY phone, Motorola i465 Clutch, Boost Mobile will offer the iDEN device in a graphite color starting from next Tuesday. I must admit that the newly colored Clutch looks much better than the original and I wouldn’t be surprised to see it hit portfolios of other…
Boost Mobile working to fix SMS text message delays by May 7
Boost Mobile’s success with their $50 unlimited calling plan has proved to be something of a double-edged sword. On the one side, Boost Mobile’s growth in Q1 helped stem the cash-bleed from parent company Sprint’s bottom line. On the other hand, the deluge of new Boost subscribers has crippled the carrier’s SMS text messaging backbone.…
Boost Mobile’s popularity is a double-edged sword
Boost Mobile’s recently launched $50 unlimited calling plan was a significant reason that Sprint’s Q1 2009 financial results weren’t any worse than a $594 million could possibly be. While parent Sprint saw 1.25 million post-paid subscribers walk out the door, Boost saw 764,000 pre-paid subscribers coming hither. Unfortunately, Boost’s recent success with their flat-rate calling…
