Boost Infinite operated as a US-based wireless service provider and functioned as a fully owned subsidiary under Dish Wireless. Its service depended on network access from Boost Mobile, AT&T Mobility, and T-Mobile US. Eventually, Boost Infinite was consolidated into Boost Mobile.

History

On July 1, 2020, Dish Network finalized the acquisition of Boost Mobile through a transaction with T-Mobile US, granting Dish network usage rights with T-Mobile until 2027. Subsequently, on July 19, 2021, Dish secured an agreement with AT&T Mobility to utilize AT&T’s network infrastructure through 2031, while AT&T obtained options to leverage Dish’s wireless spectrum assets.

The launch of Boost Infinite took place on December 7, 2022, initially providing beta access before expanding to full commercial availability in 2023.

Beginning July 10, 2023, Dish initiated the transfer of customers from Republic Wireless to Boost Infinite. This migration was completed by August 31, 2023, coinciding with the shutdown of Republic Wireless. The transition experienced considerable challenges in customer support, including interruptions in service and issues with retaining phone numbers.

On July 25, 2023, Dish formed a partnership with Amazon to distribute Boost Infinite plans through Amazon’s platform. This collaboration represented Amazon’s debut in postpaid wireless offerings, with Amazon Prime members benefiting from automatic pre-qualification for Boost Infinite services.

As part of Dish’s plan to unify its wireless brands, Boost Infinite was merged into a revamped Boost Mobile on July 17, 2024.
