Summer brings with it fun and most adventure lovers we’re certain look forward to their hiking and biking trips. Boost Mobile adds to this enthusiasm by introducing the Motorola i296 handset. Arriving this summer, the phone is claimed to be a communication device in a rough and tough chassis.
The handset is built according to the U.S. military standard 810F and offers superior sustainability. This enables it to survive shocks, dust particles and vibrations while also withstanding drops and spills. The Walkie-Talkie capability of the phone helps customers instantly connect with their family and friends and should particularly come in use while on an adventure.
Neil Lindsay, chief marketing officer, Boost Mobile mentioned, “The Motorola i296 is the perfect device for consumers looking for reliability with all the basic functions. The features of the i296 combined with the Boost Monthly Unlimited offer make for a great value package for those who love to talk and text.”
The Bluetooth, GPS and wireless web enabled handset also provides multimedia and text messaging features. The included speakerphone with voice-activated dialing should make users’ job easier while driving. The handset offers games, wallpapers and real music ringtones that can be downloaded instantaneously. With the 600 entry phonebook, users can store all their personal and professional contacts effortlessly. Additional features of the phone include an alarm, voice-memo recorder, calculator, calendar and clock.
With Boost Mobile’s $50 Monthly plan, users can look forward to nationwide unlimited voice, text messaging, Web, e-mail, calls to 411, and instant messaging at no annual contract. The nationwide walkie-talkie service is included for customers with iDEN series handsets and the Monthly Unlimited plan.
Shipping for free, the Motorola i296 is offered to customers for $59.99 excluding taxes through the Boost Mobile website. The handset can also be purchased through Boost Mobile retail stores and select independent wireless dealer locations. Moreover, it is scheduled to be available at Best Buy, Target and at Sprint Wireless Stores later this summer.
