Boost Unlimited+ Review
The cheapest Boost tier with hotspot, which makes it the tier most people who looked at the $25 plan actually need — plus international calling and real multi-line discounts.

How Boost Unlimited+ Scores
We scored Boost Unlimited+ against the same four pillars we use for every plan. Here’s how it broke down.
Pricing: what hotspot costs at Boost
$50/mo with AutoPay, $55 without. Boost's lineup makes hotspot an expensive feature: it simply doesn't exist below this tier, so tethering costs you $25/mo more than the entry plan even though you also get 10GB more premium data and Global Talk & Text.
Multi-line is where it gets competitive. $20 off two lines brings it to $40 each, and $40 off three brings it to about $37 each — the entry $25 plan has no multi-line discount at all, so families narrow the gap considerably.

Final Verdict
The tier to buy if you tether, because at Boost there's no cheaper way to do it. 40GB of premium data, hotspot, unlimited calling to 100+ countries and up to $300 in device savings is a fair package at $50, and the multi-line discounts make it genuinely reasonable for two or three lines. What you give up is the thing that makes Boost interesting — the $25 lifetime price guarantee doesn't extend here. If you don't tether, take the entry plan and keep the $25.

How much is Boost Unlimited+?
$50/mo with AutoPay ($55 without) plus taxes, with $20 off two lines and $40 off three. It's the cheapest Boost tier that includes mobile hotspot.
Why is Unlimited+ double the $25 plan?
Mainly hotspot, which Boost doesn't offer at all below this tier. You also get 40GB of premium data instead of 30GB, Global Talk & Text to 100+ countries, multi-line discounts and up to $300 in device savings.
Does Unlimited+ have the lifetime price guarantee?
No. Boost's guarantee applies to the $25 Unlimited plan specifically. Unlimited+ is priced at standard rates.
How much is Unlimited+ for a family?
$20 off two lines takes it to about $40 each, and $40 off three takes it to roughly $37 each. The $25 entry plan has no multi-line discount, so the gap narrows substantially at two or more lines.
Does it include Mexico and Canada roaming?
No. 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. Unlimited+ includes Global Talk & Text for calling from the US.
