MONEY-SAVING MOMENT: Does Clark have a deal for all you talkaholics! A new shot has been fired in the price war over unlimited cell phone plans.

Most of the Big 4 carriers have plans that hover near $100/month. But on Thursday, Jan. 22, Boost Mobile will roll out a nationwide unlimited calling/texting/web plan with no contracts for just $50/month.

There are, however, some downsides. The cell phones available through Boost are antiquated, according to Clark. And they're not subsidized, so be sure to look on eBay or Craigslist for a deal on a used one. In addition, Boost operates on the Nextel network, which doesn't always offer the best call quality.

Clark's hope is that the Boost deal establishes a new competitive price point that will put pressure on the Big 4 to match.

In related news, AT&T actually spammed their own customers with unsolicited texts by the millions telling them to watch American Idol! Thankfully, they didn't charge those customers who weren't on unlimited texting plans, but there's been no formal apology for the spam text as of yet.

Finally, AT&T and Verizon customers looking to stop spam texts will benefit from reading New York Times technology blogger David Pogue's tips.
