Boost Mobile plans, added up
Boost Mobile sells prepaid plans on the Telstra Mobile Network (excluding 5G standalone), which its Critical Information Summary names.
7 plans, from $300 for the first year (240GB) up to 109GB a month (100GB).
Boost Mobile against its network
- Cheapest way in: Boost Mobile 240GB at $300 for the first year. That ranks 2 of 12 providers on the Telstra network, where Tangerine starts at $300.
- Not the cheapest on the Telstra network at any of the 5 data levels we compare (10GB, 30GB, 60GB, 100GB, 200GB).
- Best value per GB: Boost Mobile 100GB, about $0.74 a GB over the first year.
- 7 plans: prepaid, billed every 28 days and every 365 days.
Worth knowing
- 2 plans (Boost Mobile 240GB at $300 and Boost Mobile 365GB at $365) are paid once a year, so the first bill is large.
- 7 of Boost Mobile's 7 plans carry a note that a detail wasn't stated or couldn't be read (for example what happens when data runs out), so check the provider's page before you buy.

Switching to Boost Mobile
- Check your phone is unlocked and works on the Telstra network, because Boost Mobile uses it. Look at the coverage map for the places you live and work.
- Keep your number: ask Boost Mobile to move it when you sign up, and don't cancel your old plan first. Your old provider texts a code to confirm, and the move is usually done the same day.
- Pay up front: it's prepaid, so you recharge before you start. The smallest first payment is $28 (Boost Mobile 8GB), then $28 every 28 days.
- None of the 7 Boost Mobile plans we track has a lock-in contract, so you can leave without a fee.
- No eSIM is listed on these plans, so you'll wait for a SIM to arrive.
- Our data says that if your data runs out it stops until the next recharge or month, with no extra charge.

The Critical Information Summary (5 May 2026) does not say what happens when the data runs out, so it is treated as stopping until the next recharge; check before relying on it.
Price comes from the Critical Information Summary: Boost's plans page needs a login redirect and could not be read as text, so these plans are not checked automatically yet.
Sale prices and bonus data shown on the plans page are not counted.
