Question-and-Answer Session
Operator
(Operator Instructions). You first question is coming from Ric Prentiss of Raymond James.
Charlie Casitas - Raymond James
Hi, this is Charlie [Casitas], sitting in for Ric. Just to start, have you guys actually been able to like actually test Q-chat on your network?
Tim Yager
At this point, we have not tested Q-Chat specifically on our network. Our network folks are in constant dialogue with Sprint about the progress they're making on Q-Chat. As I said in my prepared remarks, we are building out our footprint in Grand Rapids, to match the IDA footprint, so we can be in a position to launch Q-Chat. Everything we're hearing is positive, and we're looking to be able to launch that service.
Charlie Casitas - Raymond James
Could you tell us like what other markets you're looking to after Grand Rapids?
Tim Yager
Yes, Charlie. We're not going to disclose that, right now. We certainly have several other markets that we're focused on, and we're working toward. But we're not going to disclose that on the call.
Charlie Casitas - Raymond James
One last question, do you have any at least any picture on when you'll be able to offer Boost?
Tim Yager
No. As we said we plan to, we hope to be in a position to offer a prepaid offering by the fourth quarter. We have a couple of months for the agreement, to try to negotiate an agreement to be able to launch Boost in our territory on the CDMA network.
That obviously would probably be our first choice, because it would be simple. If that doesn't work out, then we have the freedom to go secure our own prepaid offering, and we'll go that route. So the only guidance we've given thus far is that we hope to have it up for the fourth quarter.
Operator
Thank you. Your next question is coming from Ana Goshko of Banc of America.
Tim Yager
Hi, Ana.
Ana Goshko - Banc of America
Hi. Thanks very much for taking the question. On Ensemble, so it sounds like you guys are pretty well down the road in getting migrated, but it was pretty recent. Is there any early results you're seeing on having an easier time selling in the national retailer chains as a result, I know that, you've said in the past that that was hindering you in RadioShack channel, for example and other retailers?
