$2 Daily Unlimited provides all the value of Monthly Unlimited and nationwide coverage at a low daily rate. The $2 subscription charge is automatically deducted from your Boost account each day after midnight, regardless of usage, unless the you cancel the subscription. Recharge at least once every 90 days to keep your account active (after 90 days any credit balance will expire).

Daily Unlimited

Shrinkage
Boost lowers your monthly payment by $5 for every 6 on-time payments ($50 Monthly Unlimited example illustrated above).

International Connect provides unlimited international talk and text with family and friends around the world. It can be added to Monthly Unlimited and Android Monthly Unlimited plans for an additional $5 per month, and added to the BlackBerry Monthly Unlimited plan for $10 per month.

Boost Shrinkage

All Monthly Unlimited plans include Shrinkage and unlimited nationwide talk, text, web, e-mail, and 411. Shrinkage reduces your payment by $5/month for every six on-time payments, up to $15/month in total. Monthly Unlimited shrinks to as low as $35/month, Android Monthly Unlimited to as low as $40/month, or $45/month for BlackBerry Monthly Unlimited.

On-Time Payments

On-time payments are made on or before the monthly payment date. Your monthly payment date remains the same every month as long as you successfully make your monthly payment. However, if you make a late payment, your payment date will be reset to the day of the month before the date your service is restored (e.g., if your service is restored on February 15th, your monthly payment date will be reset to March 14th).

Missed Payment

While it's best to make regular on-time payments each month, payments do not have to be consecutive. If you miss a payment you don't have to start over. The on-time payments made to the account will still be available as well as any savings milestone achieved.

    4.0 out of 5 stars A good entry Android phone, May 21, 2011
    By 
    Javafuel (Los Angeles, CA United States) - See all my reviews
    This review is from: Samsung Galaxy Prevail Android Smartphone (Boost Mobile) (Wireless Phone Accessory)
    I've been using this phone for a few days now and here are the pros and cons.

    PROS:
    - Inexpensive
    - Awesome flexible plans with no contract, you can switch between plans to fit your needs on monthly basis.
    - Attractive design & compact size
    - Good speed, not the slowest nor the fastest, somewhere in between (as May 2011)
    - No blowware installed, good job Boost Mobile
    - Clear sound for phone calls & decent music player
    - Durable, I've dropped it a couple of times from waist height in parking lot and it barely shows any dents.

    Cons
    - Fixed focus low res cam (2MP) no LED. It takes OK pics in a good lighting environment, video quality is unusable. My biggest issue is that it CAN'T read standard bar code, due to it's fixed focal lens. But it reads QR code without any problem.
    - CDMA network covers less area than GSM network in the US. Most of countries in the world is using GSM network, so it won't work outside of US... Read more

    5.0 out of 5 stars I surprised how people are reviewing this phone!, June 21, 2011

    This review is from: Samsung Galaxy Prevail Android Smartphone (Boost Mobile) (Wireless Phone Accessory)
    I've had this phone for almost 2 months and it hasn't disappointed at all. In fact, completely the opposite! It's a small phone, but I like that personally. I can't stand how big phones have gotten like the EVO. Also, I don't know what people mean "the phone is slow." What exactly are you doing? Personally, the phone works well for me. I multitask all the time: while biking I stream Pandora, track my location with MyTracks, and respond to the occasional text ALL AT THE SAME TIME. I stream music with Grooveshark in my car while navigating with GPS using Waze (awesome app btw). Never a problem! So, frankly, I'm confused what people are talking about "slow". Also, I'm on Boost's shrinkage plan so, my monthly bill is $45 per month for unlimited everything (including data). I've been on Boost for about 8 or 9 months now.

    I read reviews on this phone because I find peoples' criticisms interesting. More often than not, people make one huge mistake: comparing it to a high-end... Read more

    4.0 out of 5 stars Good Phone, great deal, May 24, 2011
    This review is from: Samsung Galaxy Prevail Android Smartphone (Boost Mobile) (Wireless Phone Accessory)
    I've had this phone for a couple weeks. It is my first smartphone, so I'm no expert and I don't expect a lot.
    Overall I'm pretty pleased. The $50 a month unlimited plan from Boost is a great deal. The web speed is decent and you can view web pages fairly easily. It has an email app that allows you to collect POP email, which is handy
    CONS:
    The keyboard - This is a big one. It is near impossible to type on the on screen keyboard. I've ordered a stylus to type. I have fairly nimble fingers, and every fourth letter I type results in the adjacent letter appearing. There is some kind of "swype" application that might help. If you send a lot of text messages, this probably is not the phone for you... or at least you should try it.
    The battery - seems like it lasts one day or maybe three hours if you're using it
    No flash support

    PROS:
    The price
    the size - it is thin and small, but this also means a small screen
    It is android and there are... Read more
