Mobile Boost

If you find a place offering wholesale boost mobile phones, you need to be very cautious. I spoke with someone who said that they have seen wholesale phone lots on eBay selling for about half price for each phone. The thing is, these wholesale lots claim that the phones are brand new phones. When you buy wholesale phones on ebay and other sites, odds are that the phones are either defective or refurbished. Be very careful when you consider purchasing wholesale phones anywhere, unless you can inspect and verify the phones in person

Like getting a cheaper phone for boost mobile, the same can be said and done for getting free minutes.

What you do is call boost mobile (1-888-BOOST-4U) and ask to cancel your service (only if your really considering canceling your service). You will get the saves department and you can talk with them about why you want to cancel (most likely because you think another service may be cheaper for you)... More than likely you will be offered a re-boost bonus.

The re-boost bonuses are totally dependent upon how much you spend at boost. The re-boost incentive you are offered can last up to 6 months, and for every month that you re-boost after being offered the incentive, you can qualify for a bonus of $5, $10, $15, $20, and $25.

So your boost mobile phone is out of date, it doesn't chirp, and every time you look at it, you get sick. You need something that works, something up to date, but something that isn't going to empty your wallet.

If you want a new phone, for a lot less... say half price, you need to call boost mobile. Although the company is prepaid and there are no contracts, they still have a saves department that works with you to keep you using their service.

Give them a call, and find a way to get to the saves department. Say your phone doesn't work anymore and you want to cancel your service. Say anything. Just get on the phone with the saves department. Boost Mobile doesn't want you going to Tracphone or Virgin Mobile, so they will hep you get that new phone.

From what we hear, the average discount is about 20% on a new phone, but if you have been a long time customer, or catch a nice rep whose vulnerable to your social engineering, that it's possible that you could get a discount for up to 50%.

With a little bit of skill, I was able to call boost mobile and without even giving them an account, I negotiated the price of the i855 down to about $75 + shipping. Not bad for not even having an account to show them ;-)
