Embee on Mobile: Boost Mobile – 1. June, 2010

By all standards, Boost Mobile has long been a leader in prepaid mobile service. Boost is part of Sprint, and was the first mobile operator to offer unlimited plans, which by all accounts have been a huge hit with customers. After launching its unlimited service in 2009, Boost doubled its subscriber base by gaining 2 million new customers.

We’re a fan too, especially of their ad campaigns. Anyone else catch Jim McMahon, Mike Singletary and the rest of the Bears doing the Boost Mobile Shuffle?
