Boost Mobile RTR

Just want to mention that Boost mobile is taking down all the business that take payments and now only boost exclusive or authorized dealers will be able to take payments only. I'm an exclusive boost mobile dealer and used to work with a lot of companies who used to take boost mobile payments, the company who offers me better commission at the time was Eureka. but now I have to work now with only one terminal that is directly link with Boost Mobile.

Dead also... :mad:

I ended up doing what boost wanted...i signed up for auto boost...

I pay on the Boost web site, but I do not use auto boost. I just take the extra 30 seconds to type in the info while making the payment.

I just really don't like having anything being paid automatically, and prefer to keep control of what I am paying out for things.

True, when i was with Sprint i auto paid and it was almost always correct... :D

I honestly would like to know why they wanted to kill all of the outside minutes vendors? Virgin is not available either so it must be a Sprint thing. They just get funkier and funkier...a few years back they got a new CEO and he had their people make a list of customers who call "too" frequently with complaints and then cancelled their accounts... Seriously!

The upside if you go onto Sensorly.com and look at the different cellular companies network signal foot print, Sprint actually has a descent network. In my usage areas they are pretty close to MaBell (Verizon)...

Unless I am mistaken, any reference to 'MaBell' has historically been to the traditional landline phone company which turned into AT&T not Verizon.

Yep you are correct. I just used it as a "tong and cheek" reference to how large Verizon is. I remember Bell Telephone and the early stages of MCI and Sprint. Any way good for you, i did have to look it up. :)

AT&T Divestiture - What Killed Ma Bell? by Melvin D. Barger

Great article, I never actually knew the whole background.

I remember as a kid the whole thing going down. If I remember correctly, AT&T walked into court with a proposal for the monopoly breakup, surprising nearly everyone.

It was a big deal, the kind of thing that rarely happens. Most large companies falter when the market no longer needs them.

Cell phones and the Internet have made landlines all but obsolete. AT&T landline installers (a friend) have been facing layoffs for years.
