    A Mixed Bag of Value and Commitment

    This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.

    Boost Mobile's 5GB mobile plan for three months offers a mixed bag of pros and cons. On the positive side, it provides a reasonable amount of data for light to moderate users, ensuring you stay connected without worrying about running out of data mid-month. The three-month duration also adds convenience, reducing the frequency of recharges. However, a general medium satisfaction comes into play due to the commitment to pay each month for three months. While this setup may be cost-effective in the long run, it can feel restrictive for those who prefer more flexibility in their mobile plans. Additionally, the initial purchase price may seem attractive, but it's essential to consider that you'll end up paying more over the three-month period compared to some month-to-month alternatives. Boost Mobile's 5GB three-month plan is a reasonable option for individuals seeking stable connectivity. Still, it may not be the best fit for those who value the flexibility to switch plans or carriers on a monthly basis.

    Do Not Buy!

    DO NOT BUY! I ran into problems activating the SIM, spending more than 2 hours and multiple days contacting tech support. There is an issue with some of there SIM cards (google search revealed a lot) and there is no recourse to getting your money back through BestBuy and /or Boost. BestBuy makes it clear this item can not be returned. I never had an issue with SIM cards. As a network engineer I like to think I’m technically able to deal with troubleshooting issues like this. Save yourself the aggravation and go with a different company.

    Activation was quick and easy! Just enter in your SIM and device info and create your account via the web activation flow. I was up and running in a few minutes and I am now saving a lot of money vs. my previous carrier. Pro tip: make sure to activate using the QR code on the back of the packaging or at my.boostmobile.com/welcome. Do not use the old Boost Mobile activation website, because it will not work. I received the white SIM card as pictured and I am getting really fast 5G speeds on the TMobile network. No complaints so far!
