Boost Mobile and Virgin Mobile both announced in May that they would begin using parent company Sprint's 4G WiMAX network soon. Both of the pre-paid carriers have now launched one 4G phone each, and they are both now available to order from Boost or Virgin Mobile's respective websites. Both phones are made by HTC and run the latest version of Android.
In separate news, Cricket announced this past week that it would offer the iPhone on its pre-paid service with unlimited data, texts and voice minutes for $55 per month. Customers will need to purchase the iPhone at a higher price than equivalent contract services, but there's no early termination fee or contract term beyond a month-to-month payment. The 8GB iPhone 4 will be available on Cricket for $399 and the 16GB iPhone 4S will cost $499 starting on June 22nd.
