Boost Mobile Unlimited Plan: Too Good to Be True?

Yeah but do you really think they would start cutting people off for making too many calls? No chance.

 

I sell Boost along with other wireless services and, it appears the unspoken limit is around 4000 minutes. This is what I've heard....I have not seen this in writing....so it could be wrong but, if it is right, Boost can be in a whole heap of trouble for advertising unlimited when it really isn't.

 

I feel like these terms and conditions have to be there to in order to deal with the small percentage of people who abuse the service - something like less than one tenth of a percent of all users. People do some weird stuff with phones... just read through certain hofo threads.

Granted, they are advertising an "unlimited" plan.. but there are always catches.

This reminds me of the issues that vzw and sprint had when they advertised "unlimited" data with aircards.

In the end, these terms of service wont affect the average joe or chatty teenage girl... But for some guy who is programming for his phone to automatically send out text messages every two seconds or constantly stream data... it might be an issue.

 

what? i can't autodial 1,000 numbers? i can't do telemarketing? i can do 24 x 7 monitoring of my house?

WHAT CRAP! /sarcasm

 

I think ALL carriers (not only Boost) have such restrictions to their "unlimited" plans... do they not?

 

This reminds me of how some people critized the 50% roaming rule that Sprint had in the fine print of their TOS. Even though they rarely if ever enforced it, everyone thought Sprint was just awful for having such a thing. To me that 50% rule was perfectly fair to possibly weed out the excessive abusers who were trying to game the system.

Not sure but you can bet if it's somewhere in Sprint's terms someone will find it and post it.
