Boost Mobile Introduces Its Popular $50 Monthly Unlimited Service to Puerto Rico
Monthly Unlimited Calling Area Includes Puerto Rico and Mainland U.S. With No Roaming Charges and the Newest Handsets Available.
IRVINE, Calif. -- Boost Mobile(R), part of Sprint Nextel's ( S) prepaid group that offers wireless phones and services with no contracts, credit checks or activation fees, announced that its groundbreaking $50 Monthly Unlimited Plan is now available in Puerto Rico. Boost Mobile took the U.S. wireless industry by storm last year and acquired a record-breaking 2.1 million new customers in the first three quarters of 2009, further catapulting the popularity of unlimited, no-contract mobile phone service. The Boost Mobile $50 Monthly Unlimited Plan offers Puerto Ricans unlimited talk, text and Web, but most importantly, no roaming fees for travel between Puerto Rico and the mainland U.S. and vice versa.
"Boost Mobile now offers even greater choice and flexibility to Puerto Rican families who have ties in the U.S. with our economical prepaid plan," said Jeff Auman, VP of Sales/Distribution for the Sprint Prepaid Group. "We are proud of the success we've had in the United States and look forward to growing our services in Puerto Rico as well as establishing a durable partnership with the community."
To coincide with the launch, Boost Mobile is also making available its latest handset technology to the island including:
-- Sanyo Incognito by Kyocera: priced at $129.99, Incognito is Boost Mobile's first horizontal flip device and comes in a shiny Silver Chrome color with a "hidden" exterior keypad and OLED display that comes to life with use of the touch screen. Inside, Incognito opens to reveal a full QWERTY keyboard, ideal for social networking and entertainment, and delivers music, video and Web browsing to provide the user with a PC-like experience anytime, anywhere. This exciting phone includes haptic feedback on the exterior touch screen, a 2MP camera with video recording and zoom, direct access to social networking sites, a music and video player and instant messaging. Incognito will be available for purchase later this month on the Monthly Unlimited Plan.
-- Sanyo Mirro by Kyocera: priced at $79.99, is a sleek yet affordable phone that is perfect for Boost Mobile customers who value easy-to-use features, connectivity and simplicity. In an attractive, classic flip form- factor, Mirro features a high gloss mirrored Platinum finish with external glow-through caller ID and adds fun and functionality with a 1.3MP camera with digital zoom, Web access, GPS, Bluetooth and instant messaging.
-- BlackBerry Curve 8330: priced at $249.99, is the first smartphone to join Boost Mobile's broadened handset portfolio. Available in widespread distribution later this month, the BlackBerry Curve 8330 smartphone on Boost Mobile's BlackBerry Monthly Unlimited Plan will include unlimited talk, text, Web and email for $60 per month.
Late last year Boost Mobile partnered with CREARTE, Inc., a non-profit organization that provides services to local Puerto Rico youth and hosted an art workshop with renowned Puerto Rican artist Anna Nicholson Rivera. As part of the company's efforts to forge new relationships with the community, Boost Mobile donated $10,000 to CREARTE to support its programs.
