So much value for so little money
For now, bargain hunters may want to focus primarily on the unrivaled value proposition of Boost Infinite and largely ignore all the “background”, logistical, and technical details of the ultra-affordable wireless service.
That means access is restricted to an unspecified number of members, and of course, that certain kinks may not have been ironed out just yet. When it comes to actual service coverage and 5G speeds, you don’t have a lot to worry about, as you’re essentially going to connect to the stronger of T-Mobile and AT&T’s signals in your area and even automatically switch between them for the best possible experience.
But $25 is an exceptionally low price to pay for unlimited 5G data (with deprioritization), unlimited talk and text, as well as mobile hotspot, international talk and text, and roaming in Mexico and Canada, substantially undercutting any and all similar offers from T-Mobile, AT&T, and Verizon.
What’s the competition and what’s on the horizon?
T-Mobile, for one, which was long considered the industry’s value champion, is currently charging $60 a month and up for its cheapest unlimited postpaid plan. Of course, said “Essentials” option does include a more generous 50GB allotment of “premium” data while also allowing families to save big bucks starting with an account’s second line of service.
As Stokols explains it, that should provide a better user experience “in all cases” given that T-Mobile plus AT&T (plus Dish) will always be better than “just T-Mobile, or just AT&T or just Verizon.” Of course, we’ll have to wait and see how that “math” will translate in real life.
