i used to work for boost mobile cust service and i can tell you for sure that is one of the worst carriers in the country,there are outages all the time,management forces employees to LIE TO THE CUSTOMERS about transactions,about the locations of the call centers,about network repair times etc etc,steer clear from boost if you can
