The new Boost Mobile combines its pre- and post-paid services under one umbrella, and includes more affordable plans featuring its own 5G network.

Boost Mobile, the historically MVNO wireless carrier acquired by Disk Network (which rejoined EchoStar), has relaunched as an umbrella company that now includes Boost Infinite and combines all its pre- and post-paid services. Along with the rebranding, Boost Mobile is offering new deals, including an affordable $25 per month option with 5G speeds.
The key part of the $25 per month deal is that customers can get that price (with automatic payments) with only a single line, while other carriers usually require you to sign up for multiple lines to get to a lower price per line. For instance, Verizon’s Total Wireless recently launched a $30 per line per month offer, but you must have four lines to get the low price.
Boost Mobile’s offering, however, is fairly barebones in comparison to rivals. The $25 per month deal includes up to 30GB of 5G speed data, with very slow speeds after (technically unlimited!). You also won’t get hotspot or included international roaming, but not everyone needs those services.
Boost Mobile’s new online site gives customers one destination for all of its services. However, as CNET reports, there could be confusion over how the retail stores work, as physical stores will still only be focused on the company’s prepaid business.
