Boost Mobile was started in 2002 and purchased by Sprint in 2006. They offer service on Sprint’s CDMA network and effectively act as Sprint Prepaid. Boost Mobile’s plans are more affordable than Sprint’s and offer many of the same features. With excellent family discounts, the option for unlimited data plans, and more affordable pricing, Boost Mobile has been a popular prepaid carrier. Taxes and fees are also included with Boost’s plans, which is nice touch.
Boost Mobile’s biggest limitation has been their device support. Boost had an extremely limited BYOD program (Bring Your Own Device), making it challenging for customers who had purchased an unlocked smartphone at full price to activate on Boost’s network. Boost’s own phones were typically locked to their network too, making it challenging to leave.
With the upcoming Sprint and T-Mobile merger, Boost Mobile will be soon owned and operated by Dish. Dish will become the fourth major wireless carrier in the United States, along with Verizon, AT&T, and the New T-Mobile.
Boost Mobile offers excellent family plan discounts available for all of their plans.
Boost Mobile uses the Sprint network for coverage.
