The Boost Mobile of today is a lot more than it was just a couple of years ago, with its own 5G network and competitive unlimited plans. Before T-Mobile completed its takeover of Sprint, Boost was an MVNO offering discount plans on another carriers network.

The first point this service—once known as one of Sprint’s prepaid brands—makes: its 5G network "now covers more than 70% of the US population, with coverage across 99% of the country via roaming partners," meaning AT&T and T-Mobile.

Boost strengthens its value proposition with the $95 Summit 5G Android phone, offering better build quality and longer support with plans from $25 monthly.
