Saw that as well... guessing it's wrong given the battery life stats.

For Boost phones, it's 1 year of service... can't find any specific info on the tablet.

I think you are right, I'm still thinking of switching to boost from tmo prepaid. I only get 3 gigs for $15 per month on tmo. If you use the boost app you can get like 5 bucks off a month easily from what I've read...

You can easily get enough to cover this plan if you spend a couple of minutes per day. One spin and one 30 second video per day yields a minimum of 12 cents per day (or $4.80 per month). The bonus for 7 consecutive days of watching a video or spinning is 75 cents each, so $1.50 per week for 4 weeks ($6 per month). Watch a couple of extra videos and you're covered.

My personal experience has been good. We have two phones on the 5GB plan. Just had our annual bill covered last week by BoostOne credits and have enough credit built up to cover the next two years (we got lucky and built it up when it was a bit more lucrative).
