Taxes and fees are included in the sticker prices for all Boost plans, and all plans will be able to use Boost Mobile's own 5G network as well as the ability to roam on T-Mobile and AT&T's respective networks when Boost's coverage isn't available.

"There is too much complexity in the wireless market today. Boost Mobile is simplifying its digital purchasing experience and offerings to give consumers more flexibility and choice with unbelievable value," said Hamid Akhavan, CEO and president of EchoStar, parent company of Boost Mobile.

Prior to its merger with EchoStar, Dish Network bought Boost Mobile from Sprint in 2020 as part of a deal that allowed T-Mobile to acquire Sprint. Dish Network launched a nationwide beta of its Boost Infinite in late 2022.

Boost Mobile is an MVNO of AT&T, T-Mobile, and Dish, while Total by Verizon is an MVNO of Verizon. Often, the quality of coverage comes down to your area.

The term “locked” means that your Phone can only be used with Boost Infinite on the Boost Infinite Wireless network and cannot be activated on any other wireless carrier's network. An “unlocked” Phone isn't restricted to our network, and you may be able to use it with another wireless service provider.

99.9% nationwide coverage: The Boost Mobile Network together with our roaming partners includes roaming coverage from partner networks which cover 99% of the US population.

DISH Wireless L.L.C., doing business as Boost Mobile, is a United States wireless service provider owned by EchoStar. It operates using the Boost, AT&T and T-Mobile networks to deliver wireless services. As of Q3 2023, Boost Mobile, along with its sister brands Gen Mobile and Ting Mobile had 7.50 million customers.

Boost Mobile has been around for decades, but Dish Network took ownership in 2020 through the government's “remedy” in the T-Mobile/Sprint merger. Since then, it's debuted a whole new 5G network.

With an extensive national network, Verizon is the leading wireless provider. It receives top scores for network coverage, speed, and reliability. Verizon's plan and device flexibility, combined with excellent business features, makes it the clear winner in our best overall cell phone provider category.

As an MVNO, Boost Mobile relies on AT&T and T-Mobile for a good chunk of its infrastructure. That said, Dish is also building a massive 5G network from the ground up. At the end of 2023, Dish announced its 5G network covers over 140 million people.

Boost used to be owned by Spring, but that all changed when T-Mobile bought out the wireless provider in 2020 and sold it to Dish Network, which then split it off into Boost Mobile and Boost Infinite. Much like Visible and MetroPCS, it's an affordable option for those on a budget.
