Boost mobile logo - BOOST MOBILE SETS END OF LIFE DATE FOR 3G DEVICE ACTIVATIONS - NWIDAApparently, a Boost Master dealer in NY has slashed it’s staff.

Peter Adderton tweeted earlier today that Hyperlink, based in NY, has cut it’s sales staff by letting go between 7-10 employees, and NWIDA has confirmed this.

In addition, Adderton posted that no one from Dish, the (apparent) new owner Dish logo - NWIDAof Boost, has reached out to any dealer since the end of last year.

The layoffs are a cost cutting move, as Boost continues to add penalties and fines for stores and masters that are “under-performing” – all while the store owners are kept in the dark about what is happening.

NWIDA will continue to reach out to Dish, but to-date Dish has yet to return our calls and messages.

NWIDA members, contact us today if you need our assistance and if you’re not yet a member, we invite you to join today.
