Boost adds 411, messaging to unlimited plan

Boost Mobile $50 unlimited plan just got a bit better. Like many of their rivals, they’ll now offer unlimited 411 service. They’ve also added instant messaging and email to the package, though that should have already been covered under data. As Chris Ziegler from Engadget correctly says, “it seems like we’re past the point where carriers should be differentiating between types of data.” It looks, though, as if Boost has everything covered now. In the same announcement, Boost introduced the Samsung Rant, which we’ll feature after the jump.

The Rant closely resembles the Samsung Messenger, a slider phone with a full QWERTY keyboard. The handset features a 2 megapixel camera and microSD support for up to 16GB. The phone will hit Boost shelves and airwaves on May 19, and will cost $149.99.]]>
