Cricket vs. Boost

[mrzool]

is boost really cricket competitior....
boost beats cricket coverage wise and monthly bill wise
cricket beats boost phone wise... very good quality phones

[cricketmafia]

u dont know anything mr.zool cricket beats boost anythime anyday and anywere ok

[motorola]

AHAHAHAHAA i agree mafia idk what hes talking about if you want boost mobile www.boostmobile.com go there lol he thought boost beats cricket yeeee alake

[mrzool]

I am an actual salesman for cricket. I sell them both at my store.. and I have come to a conclusion that though cricket has better phones. their coverage is still not as good as boost... i have had so many customers switch over as cricket for some reason nowadays is

1. overcharging people on their bill... taxing everythin
2. dropped calls... though improved. still some

I am not just anyone... i know this from experience as a salesman and as a cricket user. not bad mouthin them as their phones are just awesome.... but they need to stop what they are doing nowadays as they are losing customers this way

[cricketmafia]

Stop Bad Talking Cricket.

[lexie69x]

cricket does not over charge the TAX thing i will admit tho is kinda crazy i pay almost $9.00 in taxes on my cricket bill but as far as service goes it is actually really really fairly priced and i havnet had much dropped calls with cricket latley

[mrzool]

not meant to bad mout cricket as i sell cricket for living. just presenting some of the negatives i have heard on cricket

Take a trip down to Houston sometime, walk into an indirect store.. Ask the person behind the counter why buisness is so slow in the Houston area. BOOST will be the answer.

[Mrcricket23]

hummm dude i live in Houston, and also i am an indirect dealer and at my store we're averaging 200 to 250 brand new activations so maybe i should ask myself?lol, once again maybe we just such a good sales people we close the deal right there n then :) , now sales has dropped since the first year cricket was in town and thats only activation wise , thats because Cricket is going into service mode meaning not as much brand new customers but get more "can i pay my bill" but revenue wise i think is better more flashings more people breaking their phones or COP(Customers Own Phone)thats what we called them when they activate their own sprint or verizon phone, and honestly i like it better when they activated their own phone and when i flash phones better than selling our own cricket phones, meaning less inventory i gotta carry plus less explanation about what this phone do or does and on top on that i dont have to wait to get the "rebates" back

[Mrcricket23]

Im a premier store meaning i can't sell any other product than cricket itself, now my friend has an authorized dealer and he sells boost as an add on(he sells cricket too) profit margin is bigger with a cricket handset than with a boost phone anyhow lol im not going in details, but lets put it this way Cricket has the upper hand when it comes to phones larger variety more markets. Imagine i open a store for boost big big store with 2 phones one on each hand which one you want camera? no camera?LOL besides the boost stores that are surviving right now is because they sell other products along beside boost, boost as a whole not enough to pay employees and rent. Cricket Bigger name in the game, boost just starting out

[Mrcricket23]

i wish there was only 4 phones, 1) The cheap economic one 2) simple camera phone 3 )a phone with all types of features Mp3, megapixel camera etc 4)PDA smart phone. But us a consumer want variety. It would be so much easier if it was just like that :detective:

[Johnny B]

dude...

[Mrcricket23]

Ohh cool answer LOL

[Technicalman]

Boost is going to kill cricket in the long run....Once it fully launches it is going to be crazy...cricket is great but boost is just going to be better....Better coverage and I even heard that they may get the bleep(walkie-talkie feature) unlimited also! If this is true then boost is deffinietly going to kill cricket. Mark my words....

[Johnny B]

Not to mention Cricket can't keep their phones in stock. They need to just sell the company to Metro, and let someone who knows what they are doing run things.:bow2:

[SwitchittoCricKet]

A-Men to that Johnny-B

[Mrcricket23]

Not necessarily V.I.P which is one of the largest supplier for boost just ran out stock about a month ago in South Texas keep in mind thats only two phones we'r talkin about LOL but hey maybe since is a new market right?. By the way sure boost i agree is a good product. But it has alot of flaws currently it not a good competitor for cricket YET. I must stress 1- They don't accept foreign ESNs 2- Their billing system sucks 3 If there's something wrong with my phone i have to take through motorola 4- No insurance policies 5- Unlimited just in Texas&Oklahoma 5- 3 phones? got to be kidding me 6- just 45 50 55 dollar plan they dont have anything appealble to Kids and people that are just straight cheap
7- did i said don't accept foreign esn? i would love to used my Mogul or HTC touch with fully mms wap or a MOTO Q9c or MOTO Q9m Fully functional!! but nah i have to be stuck with a c290 or a w385 or wait a k1

Man is it just me - or is your English that terrible?

[Technicalman]

Back to the topic....Boost will soon be killing cricket

[crckt2011]

A long as you can have other carriers phones on cricket it will never lose to boost!

That is a great thing on cricket, but Boost will just demolish cricket. I mean Boost is getting the unlimited BLEEP!! BLEEP!! (CHIRP) The coverage is WAY better and so is the service.
Boost=:clap5: :clap5: :clap5:
Cricket=:BANGHEAD2: :BANGHEAD2: :BANGHEAD2:

[Mrcricket23]

I heard Sprint shutting down the unlimited but hey is just rumor going around their Reps. :confused:

[skiin007]

Boost will not accept any phones to be flashed to their service. Unfortunate. Maybe the future holds a better tomorrow
