Boost Mobile, the prepaid wireless service and Sprint subsidiary, has announced a live TV sports package for an additional $10 a month on its prepaid plan. Boost Mobile is the first prepaid wireless provider to offer live TV streaming. The new add-on brings live sports TV to customers and supports a number of programs including the upcoming Copa America, which will be streamed exclusively from BEin Sports on the Boost Mobile platform.

“Boost Mobile is continuously seeking services and products that give customers an extra boost,” Boost Mobile’s manager of Multicultural Brand Strategy Arlin Morales said in a press release. “With Copa America around the corner, we’re sure the Live Sports add-on is something our Hispanic customers will truly enjoy. We recognize and embrace our Hispanic customers’ passion for soccer and other sports, and are confident this new add-on will be received enthusiastically.”

Boost Mobile has made a business out of marketing to those looking for a cheaper alternative to the ‘big four’ wireless carriers. Some 86 percent of Boost Mobile customers are hispanic, and with soccer being quite literally the name of the game, it’s no surprise that the live TV sports package will heavily favor soccer programing.

Currently supported channels are

AyM Sports
Azteca America
BeIN Sports
BeIN Sports en Espanol
Fightbox
Latin American Sports
TyC

The programming will also include more specific live soccer events in select markets such as:

Latin America: 2015 Copa America (South America), Primera Division and Copa Argentina (Argentina), and Copa de Brasil (Brazil)
Mexico: Liga MX, Copa MX, and Ascenso MX
Europe: La Liga and Copa del Rey (Spain), Serie A and Coppa Italia (Italy), Ligue 1, Coupe de France, and Copa de la Ligue (France)

The sports package is the first major add-on we’re hearing about for Boost Mobile’s foray into live streaming, though we anticipate an expansion of the platform in the near future.

AT&T just made it a lot easier to upgrade your phone

Do you want to upgrade your phone more than once a year? What about three times a year? Are you on AT&T? If you answered yes to those questions, then AT&T’s new “Next Up Anytime” early upgrade program is made for you. With this add-on, you’ll be able to upgrade your phone three times a year for just $10 extra every month. It will be available starting July 16.

Currently, AT&T has its “Next Up” add-on, which has been available for the past several years. This program costs $6 extra per month and lets you upgrade by trading in your existing phone after at least half of it is paid off. But the new Next Up Anytime option gives you some more flexibility.

The Nokia 3210 is the worst phone I’ve used in 2024

Where do I even start with the Nokia 3210? Not the original, which was one of the coolest phones to own back in a time when Star Wars: Episode 1 -- The Phantom Menace wasn’t even a thing, but the latest 2024 reissue that has come along to save us all from digital overload, the horror of social media, and the endless distraction that is the modern smartphone.

Except behind this facade of marketing-friendly do-goodery hides a weapon of torture, a device so foul that I’d rather sit through multiple showings of Jar Jar Binks and the gang hopelessly trying to bring back the magic of A New Hope than use it.
The Nokia 3210 really is that bad
