BOOST MOBILE gives you a unique choice of plans and good
nationwide coverage. Boost normally uses
the Nextel network which is owned by Sprint.
Nextel has a fairly broad nationwide network
with good features and somewhat slow data
access. Their Unlimited plan is a great alternative
to those from the other carriers at a good
price. It's your only alternative with an
existing Nextel phone. Our Rating:
