Well, if you have a credit card and are willing to pay per month, then I would go with Boost. For $49.99/mo. 200 min. Unl. N&W's, Unl. Walkie-Talkie, and Unl. Text Messaging. Now if you are looking to buy the refill cards then it really depends on how much and when you would use it. Also, do you know if both companys cover you location wise?

100 daytime or 200 for N&W's. In other words, its $.20/min. during the day and $.10/min. during N&W's.

Well, since you don't use it everyday then I would go with Boost because if I'm not mistaken Virgin charges $.35/day if you use it or not.

No, Boost doesn't have any daily fees. As for text messaging its $.10 to send and free to receive. Do you know any Nextel/Boost customers that you might talk to?

and thats the only way I can activate a Boost phone is through that website. Well, I can also call to CS but most of the time I spend more time on hold than I do activating it.
