If you own a business, you can run your credit and possibly get approved for more lines. However, if your business has not been in operation for a year, you will come back with a deposit and the deposit will be per line.

Your salesman is right. The cell cannot be blocked if you get Boost. If you are determined to still go with Boost. Go ahead and give the phones to your guys. If they use up any cell minutes, deduct it from their paycheck.

I was doing some math and if you have 26 phones and put them all on the $50 rate plan - that's 1300 a month (200 under your budget) They give you a choice with the rate plan to either use a prepaid visa card or your checking acct. Frankly, I would go with a prepaid visa card considering your giving it to employees.

Give them the 50.00 allowance and have them go to Walgreens or another place that adds the money to the prepaid visa card and when the 50.00 is used up, have the employee be responsible for any additional money he needs on the card. Afterall, they should only be using the walkie talkie and the 200 minutes for "emergencies."

Hope this helps and hope I didn't type all this for a scam you're trying to pull.
