IRVINE, CA--(Marketwire - February 3, 2009) - New Englanders seeking superior value from a flat-rate, prepaid wireless service can now take advantage of Boost Mobile 'Monthly Unlimited,' offering unlimited anytime calling, text messaging, wireless Web and walkie-talkie services with a national calling area for $50 a month. Unlike MetroPCS, Boost 'Monthly Unlimited' offers unlimited nationwide service with no additional telecom taxes, traveling or roaming fees in 15,800 cities throughout the United States.

"The prepaid wireless market in New England is more competitive than ever before. You have to offer locals more than just a good price," said Matt Carter, president, Boost Mobile. "Our Mobile Monthly Unlimited plan delivers superior value at an affordable price. We include all your essential wireless communications services -- anytime nationwide calling, text messaging, wireless web and more -- for one low monthly price on a superior network with fewer dropped calls than MetroPCS."

Boost Mobile provides its New England customers with payment flexibility -- allowing them to pay for their wireless service per minute, per day or per month. Boost Mobile offers consumers affordable handsets, competitive plans and a dependable nationwide network**. Operating on the robust Nextel National Network, Boost Mobile customers on the Monthly Unlimited plan receive nationwide service coverage that is not bound to a local calling area.

To sign up for Monthly Unlimited customers need a compatible Boost Mobile phone and will need to activate their account. If a customer is already a Boost subscriber, they can also change their current 10 cents per minute or $1/Day Chat Plan to the Monthly Unlimited plan via 'My Account' on their handset or at boostmobile.com; they can keep the same phone number.

In order to add money to their account, customers have the option to prepay for service with cash, Re-Boost® Card, or credit/debit card and may pay in person, online, or over the phone. Boost Mobile recommends customers sign up for Auto Re-Boost so their phone stays active all the time. In order to keep the account active, the total monthly payment amount must be prepaid each month.
