Cell Phone Wars

Get ready for the Boost Mobile sneak attack. Next week, they are launching a huge campaign to promote their new plan. For just $50 a month, customers can get unlimited minutes, unlimited text messaging, unlimited internet, and unlimited walkie-talkie.

The plan comes with no hidden fees, no convenience fees, no roaming charges, and no additional telecom taxes. This means that, no matter what, your cell phone bill will only always be $50 total. Even more, there is no contract involved - so there is no need for a credit check.

Did I really just say "no contract"?

This is going to kill the current deals offered by Verizon, AT&T Wireless, and T-Mobile who all charge over a $100-$150 a month for the same exact plan.

For those that don't know: Boost Mobile is the prepaid division of Sprint, and they offer their customers nationwide coverage through the Sprint/Nextel network.

Sprint/Nextel has been in a lot of financial trouble lately, and this may just pull them out of the fire. Either way, the cell phone wars have begun.
