Editor's note: Because evaluating wireless coverage requires experience with the network in a wide variety of physical locations, CNET does not rate wireless carriers. We can, however, tell you everything you need to know about the major carriers. We invite your feedback and ratings in our user opinions section--the more input we get from around the U.S., the better our users can evaluate coverage at a national level.
Boost Mobile is a wireless brand that is wholly owned by Sprint Nextel. It serves 4.3 million customers in 45 states. Like Virgin Mobile, Boost is aimed at the youth demographic, specifically users between the ages of 14 and 34. Boost also markets itself toward an urban demographic and features hip-hop content on its devices and its advertising. Customers can choose from two service options: a traditional monthly plan (with no contract) or prepaid service. The carrier offers both CDMA and iDEN phones, the latter of which offer push-to-talk (PTT) service. Originally launched in both New Zealand and Australia in 2001, Boost USA launched in 2003.
