ok well ive decided im gonna get a Boos Mobile phone. I just have some questions about how exactly they work. I wanna get that I860 tatto one. Im gonna pay the 300 bucks. But what do i do after that, do i have to get some kind of plan are do i just buy some card, and how many minutes do i get for a card, just give me some examples. Anotehr question is how do i download ringtones, do i have to buy them off of the web, are can i get them off of the phone through that.

Thanks id appreciate any respose
 
Ok, the boost phone is a prepaid phone. It is .25 per min. , and $1.50 per day for radio talk time. To get a contract you need to get a nextel phone, and if you want you nextel sim card to work with a boost phone that you like just unlock it. I will be glad to help you unlock your phone if you are going to buy a nextel phone.
 
I don't think it is. Why would anybody pay those kind of prices for minutes and direct connect time?
When I was in the Nextel store last week, I saw the Boost sign and asked about it. The guy told me flat out it's a real bad deal and he has no idea why people pay that much for it.
 
I'm gonna be very honest. I have a boost mobile phone. I have a Motorola i830 with Nextel. It's a nice phone but hardly worth what I paid for it. I gave up $325.00. It dosen't do anything spectacular or out of the ordinary. I feel real stupid now. I got on a contract though. Paying $99.99 a month for unlimited everything. I guess that's about the only cool thing. If you're really looking for people's opinions, take it from someone who knows personally. BELIEVE ME. IT WOULD BE A BIG MISTAKE!!!!!!
 
i just got the i860 tattoo... but oh well... i dont wanna put my ass on a plan yet.. until i can really afford it... so i limited myself
 
The boost is really set for those who don't want a plan or who can't get a plan. This is especially for teens still in school. I have a brother in school who wants one and it's like the "it" thing to have --a boost phone. Of course everyone a group has a boost so it's okay to get the phone and just chirp their friends for 1.50 a day.
 
I have Boost; I have the i860 (Tattoo). Cool phone, does what it is supposed to. Direct connect quality is better than cell, & cell isn't bad.

Paid $294. and expecting the 50 dollar rebate. Don't have to worry when funds are short; money is low or slow, just slow down on the talking - no bill to worry about. Is a bit more expensive though. For one dollar fifty, I talk to whomever, whenever on the direct connect per day. If I don't use it, I don't get charged. Not bad for people who don't want to make cell bill or cell plan deposit a huge priority in life.

Boost just announced a "plan" to start at the beginning of May in Ohio valley, Chicago, and Northern California; 49.99 for 150 anytime, unlimited nights and weekend, unlimited direct connect, and unlimted web. Might be worth it for those who don't want to or can't get plan.
