because the boost plans are pre-paid and they kinda suck. i prefer the standard nextel post pay. pre-pay is for kids(who boost targets) and people with questionable credit. i just wanna pop my nextel sim into a boost i730 and go.

yea thats true. boost mobile is for anyone that want it. it targets everyone not just young people and people with OK credit.

you can try to put your nextel sim into a boost i730 to see if that works. see what happens.

im sitting 20 feet from a nextel corp kiosk as i type this, and we confirmed all the boost phones.. (from nextel at least) are locked. furthermore, "any employee they catch unlocking them will be terminated". there are however some 3rd party dealers online offering unlocked boost phones. might give them a shot.

"thanks, i seemed to have found what im looking for. "

you are welcome. i hope you look what you are looking for.


"also, i was thinking about becomming a boost dealer. but it seems you really need to do volume to make decent money. "

well you need to do a lot of volume per month to just make up your expenses. if you work out a great deal with nextel than you can do quite well. i have a retail store and i partnerd up with nextel so i am a little bit differnt than what you want to do. however, my partners have stores and their sales are doing quite well for the areas they serve in. (we are all over MASS and a few other areas in California)

i wouldnt just sell boost though, i would either sell all prepaid phones or every single p...

I would think you could do pretty good opening just a kiosk selling boost phones/service. Heck, I was thinking about getting back into the game. Kind of over-saturated in the FL market, though...

just boost mobile though? i dont think just one thing. like i told the other person if he/she wants to open up a kiosk or a store with prepaid products that would be a good thing. such as Att/cingular's prepaid phones, verizon's prepaid phones, and nextel's prepaid phones. all of them, not just one. atleast you can have 3 revenue sources instead of just 1.

yea, the florida market is too over-saturated. thats not a good area to get into.

you could try ebay. usually if you purchse boost phones in a bunch from nextel or motorola you can get a nice discount on them especially if you are selling them...

Why don't you save some money and just replace th cover of your nextel i730 with a black one?

because i wouldnt be saving money, and im not good at servicing phones. i can buy a unlocked "boost" i730 off ebay for exactly what a new "nextel" i730 would cost me. althugh since im getting a tmo sidekick as well(data only) ill prbably just say forget it and cop the all black i530 for 50 bucks and be done. 🙂
