For a prepaid service, though, this is more than a steal

Anna-Lane, if you switched to Boost for international calls then you switched to the wrong service provider. Metro PCS offers unlimited international calling for only 5 more dollars a month. Which brought my bill up to $55. I talked to the Boost rep and he said to call China was .15 a minute. Even before Metro offered the unlimited international plan, they were still cheaper (only .02 a minute). My wife is from China so she will be staying with Metro. I, on the other hand, want to give Boost a try, because their phones look sharper then Metro’s line up.

BOOST is amazing, especially if you have ever received one of those stressful surprise phone bills of several hundred dollars. Most reviews seem outdated, complaining of slow texting/no call waiting/texting not being included in unlimited etc– however the unlimited plan now includes texting and has call waiting. If you ever make international calls, BOOST is DEFINITELY for you that’s why I switched from Verizon the rates are simply unbeatable.
Phone selection is poor, maybe look into buying your new BOOST phone online so you can have a broader selection (if there’s a way to do that). Currently, customer service calls require a wait of 15-30min but this I think is only temporary and due to the high influx of new customers because of the unlimited plan. It hasn’t bothered me much because with this great unlimited plan I have found no need to call customer service.

Great deal if you only need voice only . You are getting a well established network ( Nestel and Sprint PCS .
