Genesis Posts: 130691 Incept: 2007-06-26	There are occasional sales though -- like around Christmas. If you catch one you can sometimes get $50 or even $100 off on the phone, but you have to catch it when it happens. ---------- I don't care* if it makes sense -- only if it makes money. -- Me* Bank (n): See scam, fraud and theft. *Eat a bankster -- they're low-carb.* *What part of "shall not be infringed" was unclear?* 2012-06-08 12:10:35 Permalink

This is a reason I chose Boost over Virgin in the first place. I just hope Boost puts out a better 4G version of my Transform Ultra, because I need a slide out keyboard w/ my phone. 2012-06-08 18:22:29 Permalink

Quote: AT&T CEO Randall Stephenson said last week that the savings are compelling, but buyers seem to be very sensitive to increases in the initial cost of the iPhone. AT&T would look at offering such plans if demand holds up, he said. Next...some clever bank (or AAPL!) will loan you $650 at, say, 5-10% interest to ease the pain of one time payment and Virgin/Cricket/Boost will put a major dent on T and VZ. ---------- "Go long...something" Me 2012-06-11 13:51:51 Permalink
