Boost Mobile store employee here, the sim cards should be running on the T-Mobile network. "Expanded Network" is just Boost lingo for T-Mobile network.

The boost SIM cards that uses Sprint will have the sprint logo on them.

Despite the new T-Mobile sim cards being GSM, you can't just hotswap the sim onto another device in most cases just like the CDMA sims. You would have to either go to the site/talk with support to tie the sim with a new device or get an additional sim.

The devices that are compatible with the new sims are still growing, so check if the IMEI number of your device to see if it works with the network. There is a weird quirk with checking compatibility and sometimes in cases where the device SHOULD be supported but the boost site is saying it isn't, you have to talk to an in-store employee or phone rep check the IMEI on their system and it should magically work on the user's end afterwards.

Feel free to ask me any questions if you have any.

Not sure about their new GSM service, but pricing wise it isn't too bad for low data users.

Hmm read through the fine print. Does anyone know when this needs to be activated?

Not worried about the double data promo. Just want to have a sim around for emergencies or porting deals.

Boost is basically a T-Mobile MVNO for now. Some time in subsequent years it is supposed to be part of a new cellular network operated by satellite TV company Dish Network who aquired Boost as a FTC/FCC condition for T-Mobile's merger with Sprint.

Is $4.99 the sim-kit price or first month's $10 plan included with it?
