First of all there are two types of service with Boost Mobile One is called IDEN network meaning it uses sim cards and has walkie talkie feature. The other uses CDMA network which does not use any sim cards and no walkie talkie but has better coverage using Sprint Network.
The plan that you are referring is the pay as you go plan. Basically it uses IDEN network (sim card on their cell phones). All phone calls are 10 cents per minute whether you are receiving calls or making calls. There are no nights and weekends. If you want to use the walkie talkie to call another Boost Mobile on their walkie talkie then it will cost you a $1.00 per day for unlimited walkie talkie. All text messaging receiving and sending will cost you 10 cents per message and any picture messaging will cost you 25 cents.
As you can see it can be expensive. Your best bet is to go with the unlimited plan of $50 and that includes text and talk. However I suggest you get the CDMA version of Boost Mobile. The phone doesn't use any sim cards but has better coverage and text message is much better on the CDMA version of Boost Mobile. The only two phones that use CDMA are Sanyo Mirro, and Motorola W385.
With the IDEN network and walkie talkie of Boost Mobile there tends to be drop calls and texting takes forever and slow to send out.
Activation is a breeze for both networks of Boost. It take fifteen to twenty minutes to activate by calling them and then you have to charge your new phone.
