Boost mobile is a popular prepaid cell phone service that offers trendy phones and low monthly service charges. It's popular among young people because it's not a contract plan. Since you pay month to month, you don't need to have established good credit to get a cell phone. Boost mobile keeps your account active for 60 days after your service ends. You can reactivate at any time, but the procedure before and after 60 days differs slightly.
