Boost Mobile

[spacenerd]

I know this is for Dish TV service but was wondering if anyone has gone from Verizon to the Dish Boost Mobile cell phone service and would you recommend it.

Hard question to answer as its based on where you are.

Verizon may be crap in your area and Boost may be good. Or Vice Versa.

I have played with all the carries in a number of areas and in each area there was a different best service for each.

Not the answer you were looking for I am sure.

I tested Boost here in CT and it was Horrible. I used the same device in Springfield Mass and the speeds were amazing. It all depends on where you are, so again a very very hard question to answer.

I switched from Cricket to Boost, and in my area of travel, so far all the service appears to be coming from the same AT&T towers as Cricket, so I haven't seen any real difference in service, just a $20/mo drop in cost between what I was paying and now. And I'm not taking advantage of Dish's Boost deal, so it could drop even further.

I would say about a third of the guys in my office have made the switch and all say they don't regret it. Service, like all services has some weak areas, but some say they get signal in some remote places they never did with whoever they came from

Boost is nothing more than an AT&T MVNO at this point. Whatever AT&T service is like in your area, that's how Boost will be.

Whatever native Dish Wireless sites are still online, I wouldn't expect them to be much longer

For what it's worth, for the month or so I had Boost, I never connected to their native network using an eSIM, and service was mostly identical to my AT&T (FirstNet) line, with the exception of the FirstNet line prioritizing band 14. Boost had no problems connecting to AT&Ts n77, and I was able to get gigabit speeds. The pSIM that was sent to me, that I could not use, was the black SIM, so AT&T only. I doubt they are issuing Rainbow pSIMs anymore, but I welcome anyone to prove me wrong.

If you are a data hog like I am, you may find Boost's max of 50 GB of premium data not enough.
