What carrier owns Boost Mobile? ›

DISH Wireless L.L.C., doing business as Boost Mobile, is a United States wireless service provider owned by EchoStar. It operates using the Boost, AT&T and T-Mobile networks to deliver wireless services. As of Q3 2023, Boost Mobile, along with its sister brands Gen Mobile and Ting Mobile had 7.50 million customers.

Dish Wireless acquired Boost Mobile in 2020 and because Boost is an MVNO they piggyback their signal off of Dish Wireless's towers instead of having their own. And Boost doesn't just use Dish's towers, they also use AT&T and T-Mobile's towers as well.

If you're looking to switch to Boost Mobile, you'll need to make sure your phone is compatible with their SIM card. Fortunately, most carriers are compatible with Boost Mobile, including AT&T, T-Mobile, Sprint, and Verizon. This means that you should be able to keep your current phone and just switch out the SIM card.
