Boost has just killed off its best value plan. Time to shop around again
The value proposition of Boost has been reduced by this update. Time to shop around.
When my son started high school a couple of years ago, I did some extensive research to determine the right mobile plan for his first smartphone.
I wanted to go prepaid so he didn’t bankrupt me watching video on his commute, and ended up signing up to Boost Mobile’s $180 365-day expiry plan. It was such good value, I moved my own number over to it, and my wife’s. When my daughter got her first phone, she ended up on the same plan.
In the years since I first signed up my son, the plan has gone up from $180 to $230. But that was okay, because that annual fee gave you 160GB of data to use over 365 days, or about 13GB per month. (Note – it now offers 170GB, but when I last recharged it was only 160GB, so that’s what I’m describing).
