News: Boost Mobile shrinkage plan

I am a Boost Mobile user - I am beginning to enjoy the benefits of shrinkage - for a quick overview of what shrinkage is about and has to offer check this review out: boost mobile shrinkage review

Started at $50 per and now I'm at $45 a month. I have 3 more payments to hit the $40 level. IMO, I think this is a great program

thank you

Hey all,

Does anyone know what happens to your Shrinkage if you get a new phone w/ Boost?

I bought my first Boost phone in Dec (Samsung Transform Ultra), and began at $55/mo. I'm due to go down to $50/mo shortly. In the near future, I will probably want to trade up to a fancier model (hopefully w/ NFC & Google Wallet). Will activitating a new phone reset me to the original $55/mo? Or will it stay at the $50? I sure hope it's the latter...

It will stay the same. No penalties.

Thanks, jimpcon.

I did hear back from Boost customer service as well, and they said the same thing :

" Thank you for contacting us through Boostmobile.com.

Now if they could just get a decent phone with NFC support... But that's a topic for another thread. :-)

That's strange. I had the LG Marquee and had made my last payment of $45.00. Two months ago, I upgraded to the HTC Evo Design and my bill went back to the $55.00. The rep I spoke to told me that was their practice when you upgrade.

I am correcting my previous post. I checked and I was down to the $40 per month payment. I sent a message to Boost, but have not heard back yet.

Just wanted you to know that I spoke with Boost and they corrected my billing. Rep was extremely helpful.
