- Boost Mobile is officially dropping its MVNO status while announcing further investments totaling over $10 billion into its expanding 5G network.
- The carrier is also introducing its own budget phone, the 5G Summit, which will retail for under $100 but be available for free to new customers or just $20 for existing upgrades.
- You can give the network a try risk-free with a 30-day money-back guarantee. Boost also is giving you the chance to get $1000 off an iPhone or Galaxy device with select plans.
It’s been four years in the making, but today Boost Mobile is officially shedding its label as a mobile virtual network operator (MVNO) as it gears up to better compete with Verizon, AT&T, and T-Mobile as the fourth-largest carrier in the United States.
According to a rep from the Dish-Network-owned carrier, Boost’s in-house 5G network now covers 70% of the U.S. population and is on track to reach 80% by the end of the year. The company is also dedicated to expanding this footprint with an investment of over $10 billion. For any coverage gaps, Boost will continue to rely on roaming agreements with partners, allowing it to reach 99% of the country. The carrier will no longer officially consider itself an MVNO.
