Talking Unlimited

Last year, Boost Mobile rocked the prepaid world by offering an unlimited prepaid plan.

Ok, it rocked my world. Lol.

Prior to switching to Boost, I was spending unjustly amounts of money on AT&T GoPhone.

At least $15/week on refill cards.

And to make matters worse, the GoPhone did not allow you the opportunity to deny a text message, so each unwanted and non-requested message quickly steals your money.

Disapponted with this unreasonable behavior, I begin researching other phone plans, both prepaid and contract.

The first that I came across was nTelos (now they have introduced Frawg Unlimited starting at $30/month but limited area), as they had plans starting at $50 for unlimited talk. Add about $10 for unlimited texting and, if I remember correctly, another $10 for unlimited data. Add a few more bucks if you have a smart phone. And the

Ah, but their was light at the end of the tunnel when Sprint introduced the Simply Unlimited plan. Everything on the plan comes with unlimited access on a nationwide level. I loved it instantly and I was going to go for my first contract in a looooong time when, unexpectedly, Boost came out with a prepaid unlimited for $50: Half the price!!

(Now, a little aside as I take credit for Boost unlimited as I wrote a note to Dan@sprint.com at the time when he had his email address on the commercial. ~Pops collar~ Lol.)

A lot disappointed with the selection of phones, I still hopped on the Boost train and I have been (mostly) content every since. Really, all I need is unlimited talk, text, and web (even though I rarely use it. Although, I probably would if Boost ever signs that promised contract with RIM Blackberry.) And I loathe the walkie-talkie feature although I can see its potential during the shopping season.

And now, I found out that AT&T is offering an unlimited gophone plan for $60. The most disappointing factor is that it only offers unlimited talk and text. If you have a nice phone, you will have to pay $20 extra to get the unlimited data plan. Boo!! The only saving grace is that the selection of phones is vastly superior, although not nearly as nice as the phones on a contract.

Oh, and p.s., in my research, I am hearing rumors that T-mobile is suppose to be coming out with its own unlimited plan.

Why is this good news, you ask???

Bidding war for our business, baby.

Who can give us the best service with the most options and nicest phone for the lowest possible price!! Woo Hoo!!!

I don't know about you, but this chick can't wait!!!

I loves me a good dog fight.
