Has anyone tried Boost Mobile?

Just curious. I've had Straight Talk for almost two years and I'm happy. Brought my own Iphone 4. It's 4 years old and the battery is still decent but its not running LTE. I'm ready to upgrade and thought I'd be a used 5s 32 GB for about $350 and stick with ST. But Boost Mobile has a pretty attractive offer. $650 for a 64 GB Iphone 6 plus a $50 credit. Service is $35/month for 1 GB of data which is all I need (I don't even use 500 MB currently). Straight Talk just started selling the IPhone 6 but they only sell the 16 GB version and they're selling them for full price ($650).

I guess the biggest drawback could be the Sprint network but I'm not really sure how big of an issue that would be.

Depends on where you live and the sprint coverage in that area. We have sprint and it works for us, though not without limitations. We use it because of cost, much larger than the difference you described. If straighttalk gets you on verizon or att I would probably live with the 16GB or wait until the 64 is available and pay the extra.

I live in Las Vegas. I bought the Boost Mobile shrinkage plan. I pay 40 a month unlimited. No complaints.

Thanks for the feedback!

The coverage looks okay where I live (Central VA). I may have issues when I'm visiting my parents in Northern Michigan, but I had that with Straight Talk.

Monthly rate is just so good plus you're getting $150 off an IPhone 6.
