Sprint and Boost vs Mobi PCS

by billso on Friday, 22 February 2008

Sprint announced that it will roll out its no-contract, no-credit-check, no-activation-fee mobile phone plan, Boost Mobile, in Hawaii. Pric­ing is lower than local oper­a­tor Mobi PCS, accord­ing to this Star-Bulletin arti­cle. I dis­cussed Mobi PCS on 21 May 2007. Ver­i­zon, AT&T and T-Mobile have announced US$99 per month unlim­ited mobile plans, but these require con­tracts. Con­tracts are one way to lock-in cus­tomers, as I noted ear­lier today. Com­pe­ti­tion for mobile phone cus­tomers has become more intense in the last few months, as I noted on 26 Jan­u­ary 2008.
