Boost Mobile

Something recently happened to the cell phone of the E.B.V.’s boyfriend. What exactly happened, I’m not sure, but it doesn’t matter. As the boy had to get a new phone, he opted to change carriers as well – his new carrier, Boost Mobile.

The E.B.V. sends a text message to her boy but doesn’t receive a response. WTF?! The stalker trait starts coming out. As if he had been forewarned, he suddenly rings her to let her know he is unable to figure out how to use the text messaging function on his new Boost Mobile Phone. The E.B.V. tells him she’ll show him when he gets home (guys are so dumb). Later in the afternoon, she gets a text message that reads ‘That's Tight!’ Huh?

Apparently Boost Mobile is the new pay as you go plan marketed toward the, uh, urban population.



The E.B.V. provided me with the following first hand knowledge:

New Boost Mobile phones come with the most "commonly-used" text messages preprogrammed. Who needs to have to retype:

1. Where You At?
2. What Up?
3. That's Tight!

Ringtones available by default:

1. "Where You At"
2. "Mouth Music" - i.e. human beat box
3. "Mama Callin" - it is my understanding the exact words are (phonetically-spelled) "HEY FOO, PICK UP THE PHONE, DIS YO MAMA CALLIN'"



After doing some research I have found that Boost Mobile has been providing cellular service since 2006. Their plans seem to be competitive and they even have an anthem.

All of the pre-paid phones are disposable. When them alphabet boys (FBI/HCSO/ATF) get too close, you gotta throw it away and get another "Trap phone". The "Trap" is where you get the goods. Most "Trap Stars" have 3 or 4. And if ya don't know, now ya know.
