![]() If you want to see what I'm talking about, check out this list of MVNO's: And Boost Mobile happens to be a Sprint reseller (in fact, they're actually owned by Sprint), which means even though your Galaxy is GSM unlocked, it will not work with them (see notes above). MVNO's resell one or more of the major carriers networks. So here's the problem you encountered: Boost Mobile (and a gillion other resellers like them) is what's called a mobile virtual network operator (MVNO). They are both CDMA networks, but their phones/networks are incompatible. You cannot, however, use a Verizon issued phone on a Sprint network. Yes, when you power them up there will be a notification that your SIM is not from Verizon, but you can just swipe the notification away and it won't show up again until you restart your phone. This means you can insert a SIM card from T-Mobile or AT&T and use your Galaxy on their networks. The nice thing about Verizon issued Galaxy 4G LTE phones is that they are also GSM unlocked. Verizon and Sprint are CDMA networks while T-Mobile and AT&T are GSM networks (Google it for more details). Hi Tashema! Here's what's at the root of your issue.There are basically 4 main carriers in the US: Verizon, T-Mobile, AT&T, and Sprint.
