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?
No, and there's no add-on for it on this tier. Hotspot starts at Unlimited+ for $50/mo, which otherwise has 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.
