Updated with correct charges
Boost Mobile has introduced a new plan that rewards customers who make on-time payments. Called the Monthly Unlimited with Shrinkage plan, it lets customers reduce the usual $50 monthly charge to as low as $35 just by making payments in a timely manner (unless they’re on a BlackBerry plan; see below). The no-contract plan includes unlimited voice, text, Web, e-mail, instant messaging, and 411 calls.
The plan works by reducing the monthly charge by $5 after six on-time payments. So the first month would be $50, the sixth month would be $45, and so forth until the minimum of $35 is reached. Those with the BlackBerry plan start out at $60 a month until they get to the minimum of $45. If customers do end up missing a monthly payment date, they don’t have to start over from the maximum amount–they just pay their current rate until it drops to the next level. There is no penalty for missing a month. Customers can sign up for this new plan starting October 14.
Also reduced is the price of Boost Mobile’s International Connect feature–it’s now $5 a month for unlimited calling to landlines in Mexico, the Dominican Republic, Canada, and select Asian-Pacific countries. Unlimited international text messaging is included in that as well.
