With tax season over, the big carrier prepaid brands are dialing back their promotions. Last week, Cricket ended its $40 unlimited single line plan and MetroPCS dropped its free iPhone SE offer, raised phone prices . Now it's Boost Mobile's turn to downsize its offer. Here's what's changed at Sprint's prepaid brand:The following offers have changed for the worse:
- The 4 Lines of $50 Unlimited Gigs Plan for $100 ($110 with Todo Mexico) with port-in has been replaced with a new 3 lines of Unlimited Gigs for $100 plan. Four lines are $130. The new offer includes 20 GB of hotspot instead of 8 GB and does not require a port-in if activated before 5/7. Video streams at 480p, music at 400 kbps and gaming at 2 mbps.After 5/7 a port-in will be required and the offer ends 7/16.- The Free Samsung Galaxy J7 Perx and six months of Hulu for Free with port-in offer has been replaced with a free Samsung Galaxy J3 Emerge for switchers. Available at Boost dealers only, not online and requires activation on the $50 plan, offer will not be availabe after 7/9.
- The price of the iPhone 6 with port-in has increased from $49.99 to $99. At dealers only, requires activation on the $50 plan, oends 7/9.
It's not all bad news as the following promotions that were due to end 4/16 have been extended until 7/9:
- Add a Line, First Month Free add a new Unlimited Gigs plan line of service to an existing individual or family plan and get the first month of service for free.

Into the trash it goes.
ReplyDeleteI wonder if Cricket will match? Is the new trend 3 lines for $100?
ReplyDeletethe fact that this promo includes 20gb hot spot per line AND no port in makes it a better promo anyway
ReplyDeleteHuh 5 for $100 was long time among us but now eventually trending 3 for $100 is not make sense.
ReplyDeleteWill you pay 1 we pay 1 come back like last year from boost Mobile ??
ReplyDeleteIf I knew I'd write a post about it :)
DeleteIf I switch and get an iPhone 6 for $99 (+ 1 month's plan) to sell it on swappa (where it goes for ~$200), what's the downside?
ReplyDeleteDownside (because you didn't read the article or all the Swappa data).
DeleteYou pay $149 plus local sales tax on $99.
You sell for as little as $127 on Swappa for a Mint Boost iPhone 6.
You pay Swappa, PayPal and shipping cost.
You lose time and money.
the 3 for $100 boost plan comes with 1080p and HD streaming.
ReplyDeleteThe Boost Mobile site says it has "Mobile-optimized Streaming Videos, Gaming & Music: video streams at up to 480p+ resolution, music at up to 500kbps, streaming cloud gaming at up to 2mbps."
