Thread: Boost mobile?

Small sidestep...

Anyone else been getting "network errors" from the Mologogo java app (on the phone) for the past few days (weeks?).

Oh, and did anyone else get a prompt (on your phone) saying that the "map license expired, call 800-xxx-xxxx to buy?"

sigh...

I used the mologogo app yesterday and it was working just fine. Check their wiki or their news page to see if there is anything going on.

Thanks BB... I've been all over the Wiki and such. Looks like they had DNS issues back in June but nothing recent.

And you're still seeing maps on the phone as well? Hmmm...

Just a thought - why not just leave the phone on 24/7? I just got an i455. The included battery is 3.6V and 780mAh or so (2.8 Wh), and should last 5 hours with every-1-min transmits. That comes out to about 14 Wh used a day.

My car battery is 12V * 70AH = 840 WH. So even IF I left the phone on 24/7 for a month, it still would only drain my battery by 50%.

Anybody have any thoughts/comments?

Doing numbers like that never worked for me. Sure, great on paper but not in the real world. You have to consider battery temperatures and other normal draws that a car has. Generally speaking, a vehicle a draw should not be more then 37 mAmps. If it's higher, it'll drain to quick.

Question: I need 2 phones. The Mologogo site has the family pack, but it's the 415 phones. Without going through 28 pages of posts...should I not get the 455? Is it faster?

OK, got me the 455, and the wife a 415. She decided to get with Verizon, so I'm selling the 415...just about brand new: http://www.mp3car.com/vbulletin/vbcl...?do=ad&id=1020

have a few questions about Boost Mobile. I was going to start a plan with them since the use of web services with my car pc is at a cheaper price. My question is the phone usable for web on my car pc? Has someone used the i425t or e? Also could someone explain what the monthly charges are because I did read the sticky but I was slightly confused. How much is it per month for just data only (as well as keeping it active?) I did find a the usb data cable for it on ebay.

(sorry wasnt getting any responses from the post I made so I thought maybe to post here instead)

So is it the minimum of 20 for 3 months to keep it active?
Then what is the price of data service for pc?

Well did some more research on Howard Forums and someone else has used the i425e (and another used the "t" model) as a modem. Here is the link in case someone else would like to see.

If you don't use the phone and just have the data plan, they deduct the charge on a daily basis from your account. So, if you have $30 on the phone, they deduct the .35 data charge from it each day.

IIRC, when you boost your phone it lasts for 90 days. I boosted my account on 12/5 and it expires on 3/4. Since the data charge is about equal to $10 a month, you just load the phone with $30 every 90 days and you are set.

If you live in an area with DEN service, I think it works fine. If you don't, it is slow. As in 2400 baud slow -several minutes to load a page when moving. I use mine with Mologogo and it works great.
