First 90 secondsFarnoosh Torabi0:00
Hi, this is Farnoosh Torabi from So Money with Farnoosh Torabi, and today I want to talk to you about Boost Mobile. Quick money tip. Stop paying a carrier tax. If your phone bill feels trapped in a pricey plan, this is your sign to unlock savings. Boost Mobile helps you reset your spending with the twenty-five dollar unlimited forever plan. You can bring your own phone, pay twenty-five dollars, and get unlimited wireless forever, and that simple switch can unlock up to six hundred dollars in savings a year. That's money you could put towards paying down debt, investing, or something that actually brings you joy. Those savings are based on average annual single line payment of AT&T, Verizon, and T-Mobile customers compared to twelve months on the Boost Mobile unlimited plan as of January twenty twenty-six.
