IRVINE, Calif. --(Business Wire)--
Boost
Mobile, a leader in the no-contract wireless industry and ranked

by J.D. Power and Associates1, strengthens its diverse
handset lineup with the addition of the March 7 release of the HTC (News - Alert) One
SV and Boost Force. Both Android™-powered smartphones will operate on

of Boost Mobile's no-annual contract $55 Android Monthly
Unlimited with Shrinking Payments plan. For every six on-time

shrinks by $5, eventually getting down to as low as $40 a month for
