"The top reason consumers purchase a Boost Mobile Pay-As-You-Go phone is for the Walkie Talkie feature and we're bringing it back with the slimmest Walkie Talkie enabled handset on the market," said Neil Lindsay, Vice President of Product Management, Boost Mobile. Boost Mobile is the only wireless service provider to offer any true service differentiation by making Nextel's national "push-to-talk" technology available as a pay-as-you-go feature to the youth segment. Boost Walkie Talkie enables young people to instantly contact friends and family, all at the push of a button. Use of Boost Walkie Talkie is only a dollar a day for unlimited nationwide use and the fee is only charged on days when the service is actually used or a Walkie Talkie call is received.

"The Boost i425 packaging is made up of the same type of recyclable material found in most soda and water bottles enabling us to offer our customers a more eco-friendly purchase option," said Lindsay. "Every little bit helps when it comes to the environment and with 92% of youth trendsetters viewing the environment as the #1 issue that is personally important to them, our goal is to have all Boost phone packaging made from 100% recycled material."
