Boost Mobile just announced they'd be acquiring the entirety of Gen Mobile. DISH Network Corporation owns Boost Mobile, and now they'll own the entirety of what was included in Gen Mobile. Boost will procure all of Gen Mobile's distribution network, technology, customer base, the brand, and the wireless team currently working for Gen Mobile.
DISH's prepaid wireless carrier Boost Mobile has added a new perk for customers who subscribe to its Unlimited Plus plan: free access to a telehealth service. These virtual 'doctor visit' apps have become increasingly popular, particularly amid the pandemic when many people are still concerned about risking a trip to the doctor's office.
Dish has accused T-Mobile of the sort of shady carrier behaviors that T-Mobile made a business out of accusing AT&T and Verizon of performing, demanding the FCC weigh in on the upcoming shutdown of the CDMA network many of its subscribers still rely upon. Dish and T-Mobile were meant to be collaborating closely in the aftermath of T-Mobile's merger with Sprint, but now the smaller carrier claims its erstwhile partner is now getting sneaky.
The combination of a coronavirus pandemic and the increasingly steep prices of premium phones may have forced many consumers to rethink their mobile lifestyle. In the US alone, first-quarter sales figures revealed that a Samsung mid-tier handset was, in fact, the best-selling phone for the first three months of 2020. Just in time for that sudden but perhaps temporary shift in buying trends, LG and Boost Mobile are launching the Stylo 6 for a pinch of affordable content consumption and creation.
As part of the process leading up to the anticipated Sprint and T-Mobile merger, Sprint has announced that its Boost Mobile subsidiary will be the new service provider for Virgin Mobile USA customers. This transition will take place as Virgin Mobile USA is discontinued. Boost Mobile has announced that Virgin Mobile USA accounts will be transferred over to its service soon.
Samsung's Galaxy A series has been reimagined to become the company's testbed for experimental technologies. At the same time, it replaced killed off the mid-range Galaxy J line and consolidated the budget phones under a Galaxy M brand. That said, not all Galaxy A phones are as eccentric as the recently launched Galaxy A80. Take for example the Galaxy A10e that's silently making its way to the US first via AT&T and now through Boost Mobile.
The marriage of T-Mobile and Sprint has been years in the making and, depending on who you ask, it's either happening soon or not at all. The merger of the two carriers has been swaying this way and that but the latest rumors suggest that there is just one hurdle left and it's a big one: convincing the US Department of Justice. Fortunately for the carriers, help seems to be on the way but from the most unlikely of sources: Amazon.
There is a lot of media focus, unsurprisingly, on top of the line smartphones that have now almost reached four-digit prices. Not everyone, however, needs all the bells and whistles those expensive devices offer. Even fewer will actually be able to afford them. Some need a simple, serviceable communication device that gets the job done with little fuss and won’t die on you half way through the day. If you’re a Boost Mobile subscriber, you’re in luck because ZTE just launched the Tempo X exactly for that purpose.
Prepaid carrier Boost Mobile has just made a small but significant tweak to the way it handles taxes and fees. Whereas before its customers would pay fees and taxes in addition to the monthly plan, the carrier is now including the fees and taxes in the monthly rates, meaning you pay what the plan charges and nothing extra. T-Mobile does the same.
Unlimited data is back, but it isn't cheap and it comes with a roster of limitations. Having access to loads of data every month is more important than ever, and here to offer it cheaper than the three big carriers are three small prepaid companies. You can get unlimited data for as little as $50/month, but are the savings worth the potential sacrifices? We've looked at all the fine print to find out.
Following its launch at Cricket Wireless, LG's new budget-friendly LG X power smartphone will soon arrive at Boost Mobile, another prepaid mobile carrier. As with most smartphones that launch through these carriers, the LG X power is relatively inexpensive at $129.99 USD, and it brings with it modest -- but in no way insubstantial -- specs. One of the phone’s more notable features is long battery life, which tops out at about two days depending on how heavily you use the phone.
Pre-paid mobile carrier Boost Mobile has a new smartphone that slots into its Warp series for people shopping on a budget to check out. The smartphone is called the ZTE Warp 7 and the smartphone is available to purchase online right now for $99.99. It will be available in stores on September 5 presumably at the same price. This isn't a high-end smartphone, but for the price it does have some nice specifications.
