Boost Cellular
March 19, 2025 I chose boost for its cheaper price. And it turned out pretty good overall. Customer service in the beginning wasn't good, and took a while to get things going. But after that I've had no issues. The signal is as good as Verizon and I have to say so far I'm happy with it.
