Boost Mobile's $45 $hrink-It! Plan Additional Info

Boost Mobile's new $hrink-It! plan starts at $45 per month. All taxes and fees are included in the $45 price. The plan is called the "$hrink-It!" plan because the cost of the plan is reduced after you make on-time payments.

The cost of the plan is reduced to $40 per month after 3 on-time payments. After 6 total on-time payments, the cost of the plan is further reduced to $35 per month. The on-time payments do not need to be made consecutively. Considering this plan drops to as low as $35, it is an excellent value plan for 15GB of LTE data per month.

Boost Mobile's $hrink-It! plan operates on Boost Mobile's Expanded Network. The Extended Network simply uses the T-Mobile network for coverage. New and existing Boost Mobile customers are eligible to switch to the Extended Network. All you have to do is go to a Boost Mobile store to get a new SIM card for your phone.

The reason Boost Mobile is able to offer plans on the T-Mobile network is because of the Sprint-T-Mobile merger. As part of the merger agreement, Boost Mobile is able to offer service on the T-Mobile network. This gives time for Dish, the company that now owns Boost Mobile, to build out its own cellular network.

Boost Mobile's new plans on the T-Mobile network support additional features. VoLTE is now supported, allowing customers to make phone calls and use their cellular data at the same time, and Boost Mobile customers can enjoy access to T-Mobile's 5G network on 5G compatible smartphones.
