Terrible [Posted on 2008-02-22]
I switched over from Tracfone to Boost Mobile thinking maybe I'd get a better deal and a nicer phone, but man was I ever mistaken. I paid $40 for the i425 phone and both the phone and Boost Mobile service are terrible! The phone is extremely slow and takes forever to start up when you power it on or when you use various functions. There is a big delay between when someone sends you a text message and when you receive it, and when you finally get a message it can take over 30 seconds to download it which is ridiculous. And sometimes when you send text messages to people they won't even receive them, but you still get charged for sending them!
If you'd like to use this as an emergency phone, think again. Whereas tracfone displays how many minutes you have left directly on the phone display, with Boost Mobile you must call a special service number to check your minutes, which makes it difficult and inconvenient to keep track of how many minutes you have. The phone's battery life is also extremely short and lasts only a few hours. So if you get in a situation like I was in and become stranded somewhere and need to call someone for a ride but your phone runs out of minutes or the battery goes dead, you can thank Boost Mobile.
