Negotiate with retention for bill credits
Am I overpaying for my cell phone plan?
Use this framework to evaluate whether Boost Mobile Unlimited is worth keeping.
Using less than 5 GB of data per month
You're likely on a plan that's too expensive. MVNOs like Mint Mobile ($15/mo), Visible ($25/mo), or US Mobile offer the same network coverage for 50-70% less.
Using 5–15 GB per month
Mid-tier plans from MVNOs ($25-35/mo) cover this range. Compare to what you're paying — if it's over $50/mo, you're overpaying.
Using 15+ GB or need hotspot/premium features
Heavy data users may need premium plans, but check: are you paying for features you don't use (international roaming, premium streaming bundles)? Downgrade to base unlimited.
On a family plan but some lines barely use data
Split the plan: keep heavy users on the current carrier and move light users to an MVNO. A mixed approach often saves $30-50/mo per light-use line.
