I have absolutely no experience with boost but I do know that Kricket's prices are about the same and their service sucks. It takes about 5 minutes to send/receive text messages and things just mess up alot. Luckily, my mother is the one with Kricket, not me. Lol. But anyways, I think that since Boost is so cheap, it would most likely be as crappy as Kricket.
