Fairphone Partners With Boost Mobile for First US Carrier Deal

Fairphone, known for its 10/10 repairability-rated phones, has struck its first US carrier partnership with Boost Mobile, an MVNO that leases network access primarily from AT&T. Customers can't yet buy the $650 Fairphone Gen. 6+ directly from Boost; instead they must purchase it via Fairphone's website or Amazon and activate it with a Boost plan. Fairphone's commercial chief Rutger Sneep says this is only phase one of a longer collaboration, with more details on joint marketing plans to come.

CTO Chandler Hatton says the company set out to prove that modular, long-lasting smartphones are achievable despite skepticism from the industry.
