what network does boost mobile use

Boost Mobile is a mobile virtual network operator (MVNO) that does not run its own cellular network but instead uses other networks to provide wireless services. Boost Mobile uses the Dish, AT&T, and T-Mobile networks to deliver wireless services. Boost Mobiles coverage situation is a bit complicated, with the carrier scrambling to keep its network functional while undergoing a massive change. Boost Mobile used to run on the Sprint network, but when T-Mobile purchased Sprint, Boost Mobile was sold off to DISH. DISH then moved much of its coverage over to T-Mobile but has also partnered with AT&T for coverage. Finally, DISH is building its own 5G network with its own spectrum. For now, Boost customers will be on AT&T or T-Mobile most of the time while DISH continues to build its own network. Boost Mobile uses T-Mobile's wireless network, which is strong and offers great speed and 5G coverage. Customers will see fast data speeds, great 5G performance, and decent coverage in metropolitan and suburban areas. However, some customers may be activated on the AT&T network depending on the SIM card they use.
