Boost Unlimited Nationwide in 2009
Boost Unlimited going nationwide in 2009
For some time now, Boost Mobile has offered its Boost Unlimited service, which provides unlimited calling at a flat monthly rate, in only select regions of the U.S. Further, it utilized parent company Sprint’s CDMA network, rather than Boost’s own iDEN network. That is all going to change in 2009. The company has announced that they will migrate Boost Unlimited to the iDEN Network, making it a nationwide service.
This gives them a competitive advantage over Leap Wireless and MetroPCS, which are only regional networks and charge their customers for roaming. Those two companies came to an agreement on roaming privileges, but still they don’t cover the whole country. The iDEN network covers more markets, thus giving Boost an advantage in roaming costs and coverage. Their push to talk feature also remains popular.
