For some folks it is the brand. They may be asking who is Boost or who is Virgin? Put Sprint's name on it, and folks may bite.

At those prices, I don't see people really jumping for this new service, especially if Boost and Virgin offer cheaper plans by comparison. The selection is relatively weak at this point, and knowing Sprint, it could be a while before we see something better. Boost and Virgin already have a wide selection of pretty solid phones, all on Sprint's network. Besides, why pay $70 for a fully unlimited smartphone plan when you could go as low as $55 for unlimited ($35 if you don't need unlimited minutes)?

While it's still too early to tell, I don't see this faring too well for Sprint.

I wonder if you will be able to bring your own Sprint phone over though? Not sure why anyone would want to other than getting another Sprint phone that's not offered for the Sprint-to-go line.

its like virgin n boost but more expensive haha and with crappy phones at least virgin n boost have the galaxy s2, virgin has iphone n evo 3D while boost has galaxy s2 they both offer the same service since they all use sprints nationwide network as this new sprint go phone but virgin n boost are cheaper and have better phones than this new sprint go phone which i think it dnt make sense lol.

Service from Sprint, no Thank you. Sprint would have to pay me $70/month for the stress and headaches; no place in this age for spotty, voice and slow data services. I rather invest in an unlocked phone, and go with Straight Talk.

LMAO, another pre paid cheapskate option. This will be so worth saving what, $10-$20 a month? Sprints CONTRACT service is a freaking joke, can't wait to hear people whining about how terrible the pre paid option is after wasting money on a phone and airtime they cannot return.

" Boost might soon allow customers to bring their current Sprint phones onto its network"

Phone Arena, besides the grammatical errors throughout the article, there is something entirely wrong about this statement.

Boost (and Virgin) are WHOLLY owned subsidiaries of Sprint, so Boost does not have it's "own" network.

On a side note, Sprint is mentally retarded when it comes to MVNO's. It's out of control. Whittle it down a bit please. You own at least three to four of the subsidiaries plus you have another twelve companies that I can find out there using the network. That's why your network is trash.

Carry on....
