Boost is a prepaid plan that uses
the National Nextel network.
Airtime costs 20c/minute peak and 10c/minute off-peak and weekends
(9PM-7AM) and is good for 90 days.
Boost also has hybrid plans available for $30, $50 and $70 a month (see
hybrid comparison chart
for details), however they are very poor values compared with the old $50
premium plan.Beware: Boost phones are locked and can only be used with Boost
service. They can't be used on a Nextel service plan. Boost does not
support Call Waiting. Also Customer Service is very poor - the
customer service rep has no authority to do anything other than relay
info from tech support - who you can't talk directly to.
As of 9/2006: If someone alerts you, even if your phone is off, you are
charged the $1/day.
