Prepaid Wireless Tracker -
February 2009 Issue
Hi,
Prepaid wireless is a growing and truly exciting industry. At
Prepaid
Wireless Guide I try to provide you with in-depth information that
isn't
readily available anywhere else. Its content is original, and
created
from first hand experience working in the prepaid wireless industry.
This monthly email provides you with a quick glance at what's in the
news so
that you can easily keep informed. I believe in brief,
to-the-point summaries/commentary
so that you can move onto other tasks in your day. Each
snippet includes
a link to the original story should you be interested in the full
details.
If you like this e-zine, please do a friend and me a big favor and "pay
it
forward." If a friend DID forward this to you and if you like
what
you read, please subscribe by visiting here.
There’s
not doubt Prepaid is here to
stay!
There were quite a few articles again this month indicating
that prepaid is a great alternative for people looking to closely
monitor how
much they’re spending each month.
For
unlike postpaid, prepaid allows you to consciously know how much
you’re adding
to your account (and subsequently spending) with no surprise
end-of-month
bills. In addition,
the news highlighted
how prepaid is continuing to grow and even outpacing postpaid for some
carriers
(ex. T-Mobile).
Rather than post such links here
again month after month, I
figured that I would simply make this note and save you the time from
linking
over to similar articles time and time again.
For those who are new to this e-zine, well, now
you’re in the know as
well! There were a
few noteworthy topics
that arose this past month, the most notable one being Boost
Mobile’s launch of
a super competitive $50/month nationwide unlimited plan (see below).

MarketWatch
(press release) - USA
Despite the weakened economy,
Leap posts some really good results.
This is solid evidence that it’s not all talk;
we’re seeing some solid
growth, and it should be interesting to see what happens as they expand
their
Cricket business in 2009.

Boost launches unlimited at

News
Sprint Nextel Corp.'s Boost Mobile subsidiary unveiled an unlimited
offering
dubbed "Monthly Unlimited" that includes unlimited voice, text, Web,
walkie-talkie, and nationwide roaming. Unlike other prepaid
unlimited
plans, reloads are free (i.e. no fees!), and there are no telecom taxes
added.
This could very well be the best value in unlimited prepaid
yet! Have you
already activated the plan? Please
post
a
review for others to hear!
