Boost Mobile Plans

Four unlimited tiers from $25 to $60. The entry plan carries a price guarantee for as long as you keep the line — the clearest promise in prepaid, with a real catch on hotspot.

Boost sells four unlimited plans and differentiates them by premium data allowance rather than by whether data is unlimited at all. Every tier is unlimited talk, text and data; what changes is how much of it runs at full speed before Boost may slow you — 30GB on the entry plan up to 50GB on Premium.

The headline feature is the $25 lifetime price guarantee: stay on the Unlimited plan and keep the line active and the rate doesn't move. That's a stronger commitment than the three and five-year locks other carriers advertise, and it's the main reason to consider Boost.

What it really costs

Every advertised price assumes AutoPay. Without it, add $5/mo to every tier — the $25 plan becomes $30, which erodes most of its advantage over the competition.

"Unlimited" here means unlimited data with a premium allowance on top. After 30GB on the entry plan, Boost may slow you during congestion. That's a generous ceiling — most users never reach it — but it is not the same as uncapped full-speed data.

The $10/mo introductory rate runs for three months on the Unlimited plan for new customers, then reverts to $25 forever. Unlike most prepaid promotions, the post-promo price is the guaranteed price, not a step up to a higher rate.

Multi-line discounts apply to the upper tiers only: $20 off two lines or $40 off three on Unlimited+ and Unlimited Premium. The $25 plan has no multi-line discount, because it's already priced at what other carriers charge per line in a family plan.

Boost Mobile is a good fit if…

You want a price that genuinely doesn't move. The $25 lifetime guarantee is the strongest price commitment in prepaid.
You use a lot of data but not an extreme amount — 30GB of premium data before any slowdown is well above typical usage.
You're a new customer who can take advantage of $10/mo for the first three months and then settle at a rate that never rises.
You want a phone plan with no contract and no credit check, and you're happy to run AutoPay.

Look elsewhere if…

You tether. Hotspot is not available on the $25 or $40 tiers at all — you have to reach $50 Unlimited+ to get it.
You won't use AutoPay; every tier costs $5/mo more without it.
You need Mexico and Canada roaming — that's North America Connect, and it's on the $60 Premium tier only.
You want a small, cheap capped plan. Boost sells unlimited tiers only; the entry point is $25.

Frequently asked questions

What is Boost Mobile's $25 price guarantee?

Boost guarantees $25/mo for life on its Unlimited plan for as long as you keep the line active and don't cancel or pause service. Unlike the three and five-year price locks other carriers advertise, there is no stated end date — but it does require AutoPay, and the guarantee applies to that plan specifically.

Which Boost Mobile plans include hotspot?

Only Unlimited+ at $50/mo and Unlimited Premium at $60/mo. The $25 Unlimited and $40 Global Connection plans do not include mobile hotspot at all, which is the single most important thing to check before choosing the entry tier.

What does 'premium data' mean on Boost Mobile?

Every Boost plan is unlimited, but each has a premium data allowance — 30GB on Unlimited, 40GB on Global Connection and Unlimited+, and 50GB on Unlimited Premium. Past that, Boost says customers may see slower speeds when the network is busy. You are not cut off and there is no overage charge.

Do Boost Mobile prices require AutoPay?

Yes. Every advertised price assumes AutoPay enrolment. Without it, each tier costs $5/mo more — $30 instead of $25, $45 instead of $40, $55 instead of $50, and $65 instead of $60.

Does Boost Mobile include international calling?

Global Talk & Text is included on Unlimited+ and Unlimited Premium, covering unlimited calling to 100+ countries and texting to 191+. The dedicated Global Connection plan at $40/mo adds 1GB of global roaming data. Unlimited Premium also includes North America Connect for unlimited talk and text to Mexico and Canada plus 5GB of roaming data there.

Can I bring my own phone to Boost Mobile?

Yes. All of Boost's unlimited prepaid plans allow you to bring your own device — most unlocked 4G LTE and 5G smartphones work. You can use a physical SIM or eSIM, and there is no credit check to activate.
