My MIL is on Virgin. Will she need a different phone when it switches to Boost?

Nope and they sell used newer devices over VM just selling new full price.

Not really, Virgin Mobile and Boost Mobile are owned by Sprint running running in the same network and consolidating VM users to Boost Mobile is really a no brainer.

Oh and FYI, Tello apparently allows you to use your Boost Mobile or Virgin Mobile into their network. I don't know if they allow you to do that today, but my old VM phone works for Tello.

I DON'T know that if new plan is gonna be cheaper.

I am sad, cuz Virgin Mobile price and offers treated me GOOD!

If Boost can treat me better or at LEAST equal then I welcome it.

If really surprise me not many people use Virgin Mobile they have cheapest and best offers AFAIK.

Any of the Boost Perks really good?
