are boost mobile and virgin mobile the same
Boost Mobile As of November 2016[update], Boost Mobile, like its sister company Virgin Mobile, allows customers to bring their own device if it supports Sprint's CDMA/LTE networks (aside from Pixel/Nexus devices). SIM cards for BYOD devices can be ordered free of charge from Boost Mobile customer service or can be purchased from most Boost Mobile locations.

Boost Mobile Sprint Corporation acquired Nextel Communications in 2006, leaving Boost Mobile as a subsidiary of the merged company, Sprint Nextel Corporation. Boost Mobile still continued to use the previous Nextel iDEN infrastructure for its service, but in 2006, began to offer a new Unlimited by Boost Mobile service in select markets using Sprint's CDMA network, offering unlimited talk, text, and internet. While the plans resulted in significant growth for Boost Mobile, Boost did not begin shifting to CDMA entirely.
