That’s…already the price for Boost Infinite, without any tie to Amazon membership. Ask me how I know.
Yep clearly shows $25 on their website, weird. Probably a price hike coming if I had to guess.
Is boost any good? I’m on mint mobile paying $25 per month for 5GB of data. If I could get unlimited with boost, seems like a good move.
I get cheaper on Mint because I get the 6 or 12 month price, but it means you have to have the money up front to pay for it.
Ah yeah it def helps to pay for a lot of time up front on mint. I’m just a little leery about being locked in for a whole year but would be good to save more.
Yeah, I did ak3 month first, then 6 month, then 12 month. If you do a family plan, I think you can also get the cheaper price with a shorter lock-in.
I left after 2 months. Their network has the same coverage as ATT & T-Mobile combined, which is awesome…
BUT
Their use of those towers is deprioritized. Which means all their requests get sent to the bottom of the queue. If there aren’t a lot of people around, no problem! If you live in a metro area, you wait so long to connect that it’s basically like you don’t have service. It worked great on road trips but was unusable for 90% of my use case.
I think a lot of the providers with discount prices do the same. A cursory internet search tells me Mint does too, but that they only use T-Mobile’s towers. So if you switch, your coverage might be better but your data connection times might be worse. Or maybe ATT just sees heavy use in my area, and you’d be fine.
I’m in Atlanta, fwiw. Not exactly inside midtown/downtown, but within the perimeter of 285, so still fairly close to city center.
