Things To Know About Boost Mobile Before You Subscribe
In 2002 Boost Mobile officially launched in the USA in a partnership with Nextel Communications. The company offered walkie talkie 2 way radio like functionality with its push to talk service over Nextel’s iDEN network. Subscribers paid a dollar a day for for the service to get unlimited talk and text.
In 2006 Sprint purchased Nextel Communications and hence the Boost Mobile brand. Almost immediately the company began offering service on Sprint’s CDMA network in select markets, while still maintaining its push to talk service in many markets. It wasn’t until 2013 that Sprint and Boost Mobile fully retired Boost’s iDEN network in favor of Sprint’s CDMA network.
On July 1, 2020, Boost Mobile was officially purchased by DISH. Moving forward, DISH will use the T-Mobile network to provide service to new customers.
In July of 2021, DISH announced that it signed an agreement with AT&T to allow AT&T to provide wireless service to its MVNO partners including Boost Mobile.
On November 18th, 2021, Boost Mobile formally announced its first wireless plans to take advantage of the AT&T network. The new plans have been named Carrier Crusher plans.
Boost Mobile is estimated to have 7.4m subscribers as of June 30, 2022. This number is extrapolated by comparing DISH’s 3rd quarter 2021 form 10Q quarterly report with their 2nd quarter 2022 form 10Q quarterly report. DISH no longer gives subscriber counts from each of its wireless brands, so this number had to be extrapolated from previously reported subscriber counts of its individual brands.
Supported Phones And BYOD Devices
To obtain service with Boost Mobile, potential subscribers can either purchase a new phone as Boost Mobile or bring their own. Those that hope to bring their own phone to the network may first want to check Boost Mobile’s list of supported BYOD devices to see if its compatible.
