How Boost Unlimited Premium Scores
We scored Boost Unlimited Premium against the same four pillars we use for every plan. Here’s how it broke down.
Pricing: paying for the border
$60/mo with AutoPay, $65 without. Against Unlimited+ at $50 the differences are 10GB more premium data and North America Connect — 5GB of Mexico and Canada roaming with unlimited talk and text there. If you don't cross a border, that's $10/mo for 10GB you probably won't use.
At this price the comparison widens. Verizon's Unlimited Plus is $80 with a 30GB hotspot and AT&T's Extra 2.0 is $70 with 50GB — more tethering, on premium postpaid networks. Boost Premium's case is cross-border travel on a prepaid account with no credit check.

Final Verdict
Worth it for one specific reason: it's the only Boost plan that works properly in Mexico and Canada, with 5GB of roaming data and unlimited talk and text across the border. Add 50GB of premium data, hotspot and Global Talk & Text and it's a complete package. But $60 is where postpaid plans start competing seriously on hotspot, and if you never cross a border, Unlimited+ at $50 gives you nearly everything here. Buy it for the travel, not the data.

How much is Boost Unlimited Premium?
$60/mo with AutoPay ($65 without) plus taxes, with $20 off two lines and $40 off three. It's Boost's top consumer tier.
What is North America Connect?
Boost's cross-border package, included on this tier only — unlimited talk and text to Mexico and Canada plus 5GB of roaming data while you're there. No other Boost plan includes roaming in either country.
Is Unlimited Premium worth $10 more than Unlimited+?
Only if you travel to Mexico or Canada. Otherwise the difference is 10GB more premium data — 50GB against 40GB — which most people won't reach. Both include hotspot and Global Talk & Text.
How much premium data does it include?
50GB, the most in Boost's lineup. Data continues past that but Boost says speeds may slow when the network is busy. There's no hard cap and no overage charges.
Does it have the $25 lifetime price guarantee?
No. That applies to the $25 Unlimited plan specifically. Unlimited Premium is priced at standard rates with no stated lock.
