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:

you don't pay. Your number of features determines
the rate you pay on those days you use the
phone, including different types of Unlimited
minutes. You also get access to most of Verizon's unique features, like VZ Navigator. Roaming
