message: I was watching the Travis Barker Boost Mobile commercial, and what caught my attention was that "Kid" Travis's trainer had long-ish hair. Keeping my eyes focused one the trainer, I though he looked like HHH, which would make sense, seeing as there are a lot of muscle bound WWE Wrestlers. So, could perhaps someone could see if that is indeed a HHH Cameo? 65.96.98.74 05:37, 3 March 2006 (UTC)
thread_title: Triple H Cameo?

message: This article could use a lot of edits, both to be more neutral and more factual. I would do the edits myself, but I work for a company that handles some of Boost Mobile's technical support. By WP:COI, I don't think it'd be a good idea for me to edit the article myself.
Would someone be willing to take my suggested edits and apply them to the article? If so, I'll leave my suggestions here. -- Kesh 23:36, 13 December 2006 (UTC)

message: Does someone have sources about the recent financial problems linked to Boost Mobile?  We need sources before it can be added to the article.
--  I can tell you from personal experience that Boost is having problems.  The call center I work in is being shut down and they're laying off all 425 employees that work there.  The reason we were given is the fact that the company is bleeding money on the Unlimited service and from what we're hearing, that particular service will be shut down by the end of this year.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by Wwehurricane1 (talk • contribs) 04:19, 24 August 2008 (UTC)
thread_title: Financial Troubles

message: As noted in my comments in the section above: This Boost article lists 61 phones offered. More than twice as many as the next highest number for articles in the category 'Mobile virtual network operators', and literally 10 times as many as most other operators.
Firstly this section contains no references. Secondly I find it extremely hard to believe that if I walked into a Boost store I would find all 61 phones currently available for purchase. I would propose that the section is divided into current and former phones however this solution does not take into account issues of undue weight and the lack of references. I am not sure of which phones are currently offered and which are not. I suggest somebody who does know drastically shorten the list to the more popular phones that Boost currently offers (I'd suggest to a maximum of around 20 phones). If this is not done I propose deleting the entire section. Freikorp (talk) 23:32, 26 February 2013 (UTC)
replies: text: Section removed as there have been no objections to my after proposal after one week of waiting. I am not against adding a small phones section back, however, please do not do so without a reference for each phone. Freikorp (talk) 01:58, 3 March 2013 (UTC)

message: Sprint has apparently decided to phase out the Virgin Mobile name and beginning in February, 2020, has assigned their accounts to Boost, described as Virgin’s sister network.  My number has already been transferred over with no difference in phone, telephone number, price, service or terms that I can discern, at least so far. I hope it remains that way.  Maybe someone can add this new development to the article as I'm not very tech capable, alas.  (I didn't even know that Sprint apparently owned Virgin Mobile USA until I read this article, nor had I even heard of Boost Mobile.) Thanks.HistoryBuff14 (talk) 18:23, 16 February 2020 (UTC)

replies: text: @ShadowCyclone I find your comment to be puzzling.  If you read this article, you'll see that it contains a company history and this recent development will fit in perfectly as it mentions Sprint's acquisition of both Boost and Virgin USA.  It can be added at the bottom of the history section and will fit in very nicely.HistoryBuff14 (talk) 20:11, 16 February 2020 (UTC)

thread_title:  Boost has been assigned Virgin Mobile's customers and phone numbers. 

message: I propose that Boost Mobile Australia be merged with Optus its parent company article, or that Boost Mobile USA be merged with Dish Network their parent company’s article
My reason behind this proposed merge is due to many factors the important ones being that:
* Boost Mobile in Australia is no longer associated with the Boost Mobile USA and has not been since 2012.
* The Boost Mobile Page is to long and needs to be shortened the most obvious way to shortened the article is for one of the two sections to merge with its parent company's article (either Boost Mobile Australia with Optus or Boost Mobile USA with Dish Network).
* it is confusing to have two different corporations that are not associated with each other sharing a page. It’s not practical and just does not make sense. 
In conclusion I think it makes sense and works best that we merge one of the sections with its parent company article either Boost Mobile Australia with Optus or Boost Mobile USA with Dish Network. BigRed606 (talk) 17:58, 18 May 2021 (UTC)
