Boost Mobile Confirms CDMA Phase Out

With the newly launched unlimited iDEN plans, Boost Mobile aims to push all subscribers to its iDEN network-based services over time. Boost Mobile spokesperson Tatum Hawkins said, "Boost Mobile will still operate, support and service its CDMA-related products, but it will no longer promote them." If customers wish to sign up for CDMA-based services, they may still do so. However, Boost will no longer create new CDMA products and/or services, nor will it add new CDMA phones to its roster of devices. Hawkins said Boost's new focus is on building up the strength of its iDEN-based services and devices.
