Cell coverage is just like having Sprint. Difference is no contract, phones with not so great specs as contract carriers, and customer service stinks. But I am only paying 40$/month to have 4G LTE. Buy the Boost S3 and you got your self a darn good deal. In the end, it depends what you need. I only use texting, email, occasional browsing, and rarely use air time. I don't have to pay 80+ $ to have smartphone service.

I loved this phone when I got it from sprint. I bought the same phone from a seller on amazon for boost mobile and it was a piece of junk. I bought a different phone an went back to sprint.

It's locked with Boost. I absolutely luv the phone but Boost lately is limiting their service.

I would say go to a boost mobile/ sprint store ask if service can be put on a HTC evo 4g prepaid for virgin mobile?. Just to be sure.

Not sure about boost, actually doubt it, Boost uses a different network Fr all other carriers. It will definitely work on Metro all features, that's who I'm using.

No, it is boost mobile only. And you should know, that phone was the worst cell phone I have ever had. The only good thing about it is the amount of internal storage it has

this is a very basic phone so yes you can get the web but with a very privitive browser no videos or graphics. And no I believe boost will only activate thier phones..I use mine with H2O and all i did was charge the phone and insert my existing sim.

Sue,The boost feature is a handset clarity feature that is automatic and pre-programmed into the handsets. It activates when the sound quality degrades. I can't say about the 200 foot distance plus the metal building. It's a crap shoot, but this is a quality unit that is probably going to perform to the limits of FCC regulations. Keep in mind that the unit also has an optional Range Extender (old KX-TGA405; new KX-TGA405B) that claims to double the range of the phones and its only $35 on Amazon. Good luck,Tom

Not as far as I know. The $55/mo. doesn't leave that kind of flexibility. That's my guess but you should go to Boost for a definitive response: http://www.boostmobile.com/support/faq/#!/phone-plans-and-add-ons Don't take anyone else's word.

Hello Sir, I have it activated only with Boost Mobile. It may apply, ask your Assurance Wireless assistant by giving them the model number. Good Luck!

If you have the phone for the full 2 years, the cost with Boost Mobile at $5 a month will be $120 out of your pocket, plus $100 if something happens. This is only $80 and no deductible for an incident. And I think it covers more things than my insurance does with Virgin Mobile. So it is definitely better on cost.

Depends how many phones are using the booster, but overall it's pretty low data I have noticed with over 10 phones on our booster.

Yes, I contacted Sprint and the representative told me that if you take a Sprint phone to your nearest Boost Mobile Store they will flash the phone and you'll be able ot use it on their network. Boost Mobile also run's on Sprint's network anyway, so it should work on Boost Mobile you will have to have it flashed and that will cost most likely anywhere from $20-30$ dollars and then it will be ready to use on Boost.

Yes. Only in the US. I tried to activate it with other carriers but they said the are unable to flash or unlock it. The phone is fantastic but the carrier(Boostmobile) is total garbage

Virgin mobile and Boost mobile use a Sprint lines? I bought this phone for my hubby that does nit make a lot of call..but for 35 dollars a month unlimited that includes data with tax only 37.50. You can not beat that..I have sprint and soon as my contract is up switching..cheaper and still sprint..sorry for the typos

Hello, sorry it won't work, boost mobile works only on IDEN network and do not work on GSM. Even both networks using sim cards they both are different and incompatible with each other.

I sent mine back because it was not compatible with boost mobile. I believe all you have to do is buy a sim card from the carrier you want, then you can activate it. I hope this helps.
