But even with all that aside, their bottom-of-the-barrel Marketing is sufficient to make any reasonable customer embarrassed to be within 25 feet of a Boost phone. (From Wiki -)



Well, then, sign me up good sir!



You know, the Intelligencia. Wait a sec... is there seriously someone named, "The Game" ? Is he a toddler?



Now you've got my attention. I can think of no finer way to spend an afternoon than watching vehicles driving in circles at dangerous speeds.



Are Super Bowls really still a thing?


You said a bunch of words. I don't know what they are.



Well if a multi-million dollar ball dribbler can get paid to push their crap, you know if must be good.

"Where you AT?!"


So, basically you didn't like them doing urban marketing to the people that would most likely buy their product? Ummm okay.

They knew their demo and marketed to them like any reasonable business that wants to profit.

My two concrete reasons for abstaining from Boost membership are the aforementioned issues of terrible signal quality (the result of Verizon/AT&T's mob-like activities) and their perpetuation of the horrendous walk-talkie push-to-talk technology which plagued the planet for a decade.

The soapbox bits are just icing on the cake.

But yes - I am absolutely a pretentious knob. Guilty as charged and proudly so.

But thank you - it's important that I educate myself to all potential solutions.
Hey, no problem. Didn't know you had personal issues with Boost. Good luck in your endeavor.
