How Boost Global Connection Scores
We scored Boost Global Connection against the same four pillars we use for every plan. Here’s how it broke down.
Pricing: squeezed from both sides
$40/mo with AutoPay, $45 without, plus taxes. The problem is the tier immediately above it. Unlimited+ at $50 has the same 40GB of premium data, the same Global Talk & Text, and hotspot, so $10 buys tethering and multi-line discounts.
Below it, the $25 plan carries the lifetime price guarantee and 30GB. That leaves Global Connection with one genuine advantage over the cheaper plan, the international calling and 1GB of roaming data, and one clear disadvantage against the dearer one.

Final Verdict
A narrow plan that only makes sense if you call abroad constantly, never tether, and won't stretch to $50. The international package is real — unlimited calling to 100+ countries plus a gigabyte of global roaming is more than most prepaid carriers bundle, but Unlimited+ ten dollars up has the identical package with hotspot added, and the $25 plan has the price guarantee. Most people land on one of those two instead.

What does Boost Global Connection include?
Unlimited data with a 40GB premium allowance, unlimited calling to 100+ countries, texting to 191+ countries and 1GB of global roaming data, for $40/mo with AutoPay ($45 without) plus taxes.
Does Global Connection include hotspot?
Not included. Boost's $10/mo hotspot add-on takes this plan to $50 — exactly what Unlimited+ costs, and that tier includes hotspot with the same 40GB of premium data and the same international calling.
Is Global Connection worth $40?
Only if you call abroad heavily and never tether. Unlimited+ at $50 has the identical data and international package plus hotspot and multi-line discounts, and the $25 Unlimited plan carries the lifetime price guarantee.
Does it cover Mexico and Canada?
Not for roaming. North America Connect: unlimited talk and text to Mexico and Canada plus 5GB of roaming data there — is on the $60 Unlimited Premium tier only.
Does the $25 price guarantee apply to this plan?
No. Boost's lifetime price guarantee applies to the $25 Unlimited plan specifically. Global Connection is priced at standard rates with no stated lock.
