In a move that has been eagerly anticipated, Amazon has officially announced its collaboration with DISH’s Boost Mobile, introducing an exclusive Amazon Prime phone service deal that is set to revolutionize phone plans for Prime subscribers. This partnership promises unlimited data, talk, and text at an unbeatable rate of $25 per month, a price that remains constant for life as long as the subscription remains active. But what exactly does this Amazon Prime phone service entail, and are there any hidden charges? Let’s dissect this phone plan to clear any uncertainties.
A Closer Look at the Boost Infinite Plan
Boost Infinite, a segment of Boost Mobile’s postpaid brand, has been offering a straightforward $25 per month unlimited phone plan since the end of last year. This plan not only includes 5G coverage but also offers 30 GB of premium data monthly. Now, with added benefits for Amazon Prime members, including discounts on the SIM kit and the first bill, it’s a deal that is hard to pass up.
Boost Infinite currently operates on the AT&T and T-Mobile networks, with plans to transition to Dish’s proprietary 5G network, which is under development through Project Genesis. This move marks a significant milestone for Dish Wireless, which ventured into the wireless sector following the acquisition of Boost from Sprint in 2020.
Amazon Prime Phone Service Deal vs. Direct Purchase from Boost
When you opt for the Amazon Prime phone service deal, you stand to save more compared to buying directly from Boost. The Amazon offer includes a $25 bill credit and a discounted SIM kit, translating to a total saving of $5. Moreover, the convenience of ordering and activating the service from home, coupled with a lifetime price guarantee, makes this Amazon Prime phone service a winner.
Understanding the SIM Kit in Your Phone Plan
The SIM kit is pivotal in activating your phone service without stepping into a Boost store. Amazon ensures swift delivery of the SIM kit to your doorstep. Activation is a breeze with the Boost Infinite app, and a dedicated “Boost Buddy” is always on standby to assist you with any queries during setup and activation.
Phone Compatibility with the Amazon Prime Phone Service
Amazon Prime members can seamlessly use their existing cellular devices with this phone plan. It supports most unlocked iPhones and Android smartphones manufactured in the last five years. Whether you wish to retain your current number or acquire a new one, the choice is yours. However, a maximum of five lines is permitted per account.
Data Cap Details
Like most unlimited phone plans, there is a data cap set at 30 GB per month, after which data speeds are reduced.
