Boost Mobile just announced a new $30 plan, only available to those of you who enable auto Re-Boost with a 4G LTE device. Auto Re-Boost of course, is their term for auto pay. The plan seems to take aim at MetroPCS who recently launched a new plan with 1 GB of 4G HSPA+ data for that same price. Boost Mobile's $30 plan also includes unlimited talk and text, and data with the first 2 GB at LTE speeds, and the plan appears to be a better value than MetroPCS's which has a lot of stipulations associated with it. Boost Mobile's plan also has a few stipulations of its own. One is that auto pay has to be enabled or the price reverts to $40/month. The other, as is the case with all of Boost Mobile's phone plans is that video streaming is limited to 3G speeds.
With this new offering it seems my cheapest cell phone plan list is going to get a new member, and that is a nice win for the consumer.

I almost jumped ship for this plan. Three minor things held me back and you can say I am nit picking here.
One is no unlimited international sms whether out or in. It’s an extra $10 a month for this.
Two I would need to purchase new fones since it’s a CDMA network.
Three if I wanted to switch out fones at my choosing depending on my mood I would need to fone Boost(Sprint) to update the fones IMEI; whereas with GSM fones all I need to do is remove my SIM from my current fone and popit in to my new fone.
I know all this sounds immature to others but I have gotten accustomed to swapping out SIMs and not needing the middle man to update my account to reflect a new/used fone.
Also, from another posting I read on here it seems Sprint is giving customers the middle finger when it comes to activating fones which they deem not in good standings with them. And since Boost operates on Sprint’s Network one would possibly run in to problems activating a fone bought from a friend or online.
This promotion from Boost did catch my eye though. I have a family member who had Boost at one point in time and said they had no issues with Boost’s coverage and they moved to
three different states with excellent coverage.

Is unlimited international sms included?
Unfortunately no, that costs extra. For this particular plan it looks to cost $10 more a month as an add on.
Is there partner roaming with Boost aka Sprint?
No roaming with Boost Mobile
