Boss Revolution is a Sprint based MVNO known for selling international calling cards, which can often be found at U.S. stores such as Target.
Plan Information
In January of 2020, Boss Mobile launched a line-up of 'unlimited' U.S. based mobile phone plans. These 'unlimited' plans offer unlimited talk, text, and data - a bucket of which is delivered at full speed. The plans differ by how much high-speed data is offered in each.
While Boss Revolution claims that after a plan's high-speed data is used, speeds will be throttled to '3G speeds' - the throttle point is actually top out at around 110Kbps, which are better classified as 2G speeds.
All data on Boss Revolution plans is accessible via mobile hotspot.
Last Update: November 18, 2020
Sprint is now part of T-Mobile, as per the merger that closed on April 1, 2020.
New Sprint customers are directed to T-Mobile to sign up for their plans, however, some of Sprint's legacy plans are still available in-store or over the phone. Customers on existing direct Sprint plans will be able to retain those plans for the next three years without price increases or changes to features.
The two networks still operate mostly independently with their own towers and frequency bands. Some Sprint customers can have their Sprint phones coded to make the T-Mobile network the primary network for their phones instead of Sprint. Sprint customers with recent 5G phones such as the Galaxy S10 automatically use T-Mobile as the primary network since the combined company is shutting down Sprint's 5G service.
As of October, T-Mobile is offering most Sprint smartphone customers that use the Sprint cellular network the ability to choose the "T-Mobile Network Experience". In short, TNX allows Sprint network customers with compatible devices to trade in their Sprint SIM card for a T-Mobile SIM card and move their plan to the T-Mobile network while retaining the features, billing, and terms of their original Sprint plan. You can read more about what this means here.
Starting in late November, non-profit Sprint based plans have T-mobile roaming enabled via a PRL update pushed to devices.
At present time - aside from Boost being sold to Dish Network - there are no changes to 3rd party, reseller or MVNO plans sold on the Sprint network. However, we are continuing to monitor the situation and will update as appropriate.
