Boost Navigator - Price

Unlike other mobile GPS navigation systems available, Boost Navigator provides a budget-friendly Pay-As-You-Go pricing plan offering unlimited routes for $1.99 per day, $3.99 per week, $9.99 per month or $24.99 for three months. Customers can also enjoy free routes to Boost Mobile Re-Boost locations, in addition to a free first week of service. "In a national study it was identified that when it comes to the features Americans would like to add to their cell phones, the desire for maps tops the charts," said Craig Thole, director of value added services, Boost Mobile. "Boost Navigator not only provides the answer to ‘Where you at' but also ‘Where you're going.'"
