On-time payments are made on or before the monthly payment date. Your monthly payment date remains the same every month as long as you successfully make your monthly payment. However, if you make a late payment, your payment date will be reset to the day of the month before the date your service is restored (e.g., if your service is restored on February 15th, your monthly payment date will be reset to March 14th).Missed Payment
While it's best to make regular on-time payments each month, payments do not have to be consecutive. If you miss a payment you don't have to start over. The on-time payments made to the account will still be available as well as any savings milestone achieved.Similar Products

First impressionsBy mbinebri
If I could, I would have rated it 3.5. The Theory is an impressive looking phone with a nice screen and an easy-to-use QWERTY keyboard, although the Call and End keys are awkwardly placed and sized. Calls are nice and clear, and my reception and data speeds (2.5G) are pretty good considering I'm on the very edge of Boost's coverage. Battery life is better than I expected too. However, there are several drawbacks. The web browser is bad. It's ugly, every page you view has a heavily pixelated advertisement at the top, and you get a bare-bones rendering of any website you go to. I would highly recommend downloading Opera Mini and using that as your browser instead. The camera also leaves much to be desired. Even at the Theory's highest resolution, photos are small and of poor quality when you get them onto a computer (USB cable is not supplied); I frequently have to override the white balance "auto" setting to get proper color correction; photos are often overexposed--even indoors with the exposure at -2--and there's no flash. Without a video camera and music player, this is a poor multimedia phone. If you just want to text/talk/surf (through Mini) on a phone that has that Blackberry style, it's a worthwhile buy, but only through Boost: the Theory is definitely not a phone you would want to get locked into a contract for, unless you were getting it for free.

Yay!By Rice
I got my phone today and I'm liking it alot more that any other boost phone I've had. I had the Clutch before and this is a bit like an updated version with some of the fail taken out of it. The web browser is much better and the over all phone looks nice and sleek, and it's very light. Oh and I'm really picky abotu how my QWERTY keyboards feel on my phones and this one is really nice and doesn't bum up your fingers. Screens nice too, so overall great phone so far.

Could have been better.By bechild
I got this phone just 4 months ago. The calls are nice and clear. Its very user friendly. Not much in the way of selection for ring tones and no micro sd slot. The camera is great if you are outside and have lots of light. If you don't it is horrible and dark. I also don't like that it doesn't automatically start another page of text when you reach the maximum 160 characters. Also you can't respond to emails through the preset location for email and im. You have to set up your email through the internet and save the page as a favorites in order to respond. Because of this you are not alerted when you receive an email.
All that being said it was still a functioning phone. Nothing fancy. After four months of use during a phone call my ear piece speaker went out. Zip, nada, zero, no sound at all. DURING A CONVERSATION! If I am going to talk to someone on the phone I have to remember to either answer the call through the speaker phone or turn the speaker phone on before dialing or I am listening to air.
Oh and another complaint. The battery life stinks. I sometimes am down to yellow one bar battery by one in the afternoon. I don't even turn my phone on most days until 10 to 10:30. I am not in any way abusive to my phone. I set it down, not thrown or dropped onto the counter or coffee table. I only plug it in when the battery is low. I realize I am odd in that I turn it off every night too! So I was very upset that my speaker went out and the battery is sucking the life out of itself so quickly.
My husband has the same phone and had it for one day longer then me. He works in a place that is very dusty and dirty with dry chemical ingredients flying about and his phone works okay. Though his battery life is beginning to decrease rapidly in just the last week or two.
So I guess if you need a phone for just a few months until you can get the Samsung Prevail or the BlackBerry, then this one seems to be fine. But four months seems to be its limits.
Boost service is fantastic though! We left T-mobile to save money and didn't loose any of the service that we had with them when we switched over. So very pleased with Boost service. Just not too thrilled with the Motorola Theory.
