Boost Mobile, a leader in the no-contract wireless industry and ranked “Highest in Purchase Experience among Non-Contract Wireless Providers” by J.D. Power and Associates¹, is bringing back its most successful handset promotion to shatter the chains of long-term contracts and to deliver an affordable path to an improved wireless experience when switching to Boost Mobile.

This year’s promotion, called $1 Phone Days, will run May 29 through June 1 and be available only at authorized Boost Mobile wireless dealer locations. Customers who switch to Boost Mobile in these participating locations and activate on a new Monthly Unlimited Plan with Shrinking Payments can choose from the waterproof² Android™-powered Kyocera Hydro, LG Rumor Reflex, Samsung Array or Samsung Factor, each priced at just $1³.

This year’s promotion will benefit Boys & Girls Clubs of America (BGCA), a leader in driving positive impact in communities across the country, with a charitable contribution from Boost Mobile tied to this four-day promotion. Boost Mobile will donate $1 for each new customer who signs on with the $1 Phone Days promotion to the Boys & Girls Clubs of America, with a minimum donation amount of $25,000.⁴ A portion of the funds raised will go to local Clubs in select communities and used for summer learning programs, including preventing summer learning loss, mentoring and Internet safety.

“Boost dealers locations are gearing up to support this limited-time opportunity to reduce the out-of-pocket cost for consumers craving an award-winning wireless experience on an unlimited plan that rewards their loyalty by shrinking monthly payments over time,” said Andre Smith, vice president-Boost Mobile. “We continue to give back to our customers with shrinking payments, and will also give back to many of their communities with this Boys & Girls Clubs of America partnership.”

“We are excited to partner with Boost Mobile to provide the youth we serve with access to enhanced summer learning,” said Evan McElroy, senior vice president of marketing and communications at BGCA. “This support helps Clubs give kids fun, engaging experiences and critical summer learning opportunities in a safe place staffed by positive adult role models.”

Boost’s Monthly Unlimited with Shrinking Payments plans start at $50 a month for unlimited nationwide talk, text, email and calls to 411. Unique from the competition, for every six on-time payments, the cost of Boost Mobile’s Monthly Unlimited plans shrink by $5, up to $15 per month in total. On-time payments do not need to be consecutive to qualify for the next saving milestone. Boost Mobile provides its customers even greater value during this promotion with unlimited calling to all mobile phones and landlines in Mexico for just $15 a month when added to a Boost Mobile monthly unlimited plan.⁵
