This is actually a nice premium for a dollar a day. It’s similar to AT&T’s GoPhone plan, where you pay a dollar a day to reduce rates from 25 cents a minute to 10 cents a minute, and get unlimited mobile to mobile. Boost gives you the free night minutes, which AT&T doesn’t, but AT&T’s unlimited mobile-to-mobile plan is better, on account of them having some 60 million more subscribers. Also announced by Boost is the reduction of its highest-end hybrid plan. Previously $70 for 600 minutes, it now drops to $60 for 600 minutes — or 10 cents a minute. I figure this move was pursuant to the other one. Why would someone pony up more than 10 cents a minute for a monthly plan when they can get that rate on pay-as-you-go? (Yeah, there’s a bit more to it than that, but it still seems like one followed the other in the planning room.) Nights start at 9 p.m. with the traditional pay-as-you-go plan. You can still pay another $1 a day for unlimited walkie-talkie. [Wireless Week]]]>
