    Thank you! I'm glad to see this because my son may be traveling while his iPhone is still locked. Here are the prices for Europe:

    $5 for 1GB for 7 days
    $13 for 3GB for 10 days
    $20 for 5GB for 20 days

    Not the greatest prices, but better than having to figure out a different phone to travel with.

    i am trying to find out but this may not work on Boost locked phones. no one up the Boost Mobile corporate ladder seems to even be aware this was launched and it does state in the FAQ the phones must be unlocked. i have a feeling this may not even be directly a DISH/Boost product but rather a branded affiliate offering of some sort.

    Oh, got it, thanks. I will keep an eye on it. I'm hoping his iPhone is one of those that automatically unlocks early, but we will have to see. His trip would not be until early 24 so I'm thinking ahead.!

    if you look at the compatible phones section of the site it shows mostly phones popular in overseas markets and includes devices banned in the US such as Huawei

    credit cards logos on the bottom of the page include diners club. definitely a sign of an overseas company

    APN settings indicate Poland as the host network location

    i feel even more certain this is a 3rd party with some sort of marketing deal with DISH/Boost

    http://boostmobile.com is registered to DISH NETWORK LLC, http://boostesim.com owner is hidden via Canadian website privacy company, Contact Privacy inc. based on ICANN records

    strange, especially considering it is linked on the main Boost Mobile webpage

    I suspect that it's a marketing deal that pays Boost a commision when you purchase something from boostesim
    Find and compare prepaid plans at https://prepaidcompare.net

    i think you are right. i also suspect Boost is in for surprise and customer support hassle when it turns out the majority signing up are expecting it to work on Boost locked phones.

    backend says Telna, but doesnt seem to be reselling knowroaming or airalo directly (doesnt match the packages that knowroaming sells)

    probably just direct whtitelabeling with Telna, simple integration with Telna API
