Boost Mobile’s Popularity Might Actually Create Trouble For The Company

Boost Mobile’s recently launched $50 unlimited calling plan was a significant reason that got the company 764,000 pre-paid subscribers walking in to sign up with them. Unfortunately, Boost’s recent success with their flat-rate calling plan is something of a double-edged sword for them. Boost has recently been plagued with lengthy text-message delays due to the influx of new customers wanting to take advantage of the carrier’s unlimited calling and text message allowances.

These delays are reportedly sometimes hours long, in one case, taking 9 hours to reach the recipient. Customers are apparently rushing Boost Mobile dealers for new $50 unlimited plans, but tend to go back to the dealer with complaints about Boost’s text message service. To its credit, the Boost Mobile network, based on Sprint’s iDEN network technology, is tops for push-to-talk feature which is reportedly performing just fine.

Is there any Boost Mobile user out here feeling frustrated by slow-to-send text messages? Feel free to express yourself right in here!
