Therefore I think this subsidiary of Sprint is able to offer a lower monthly plan price to its customers. Basically, it's a gamble that since they're targetting a different demographics, they can offer a lower price since the usage patterns are different. Only my assumption though.

What I don't understand is why there would be such a difference of price between companies on the same network. Obviously, Sprint is interested in grabbing new, short term customers rather than keeping older, contract carriers - totally unfair. I think its time to let Sprint's President know how unfair this practice is - http://sites.google.com/site/sprintcustomersunite/ As a Sprint customer, I sometimes think I made the wrong choice when I didn’t decide to go with Boost Mobile – I’m paying $99 instead of $50 and I have a contract to contend with as well.
