Not 100% true. Yes, boost is owned by Sprint. The coverage map is much smaller on CDMA BOOST compared to Sprint.

Boost won't roam on verizon towers. Boost won't roam at all. That's the difference between Boost and Sprint when it comes to coverage. Don't believe me? Look at their coverage map.

And in comparison, the CDMA boost coverage is just as large as the iDEN network.

Me personally, I would NEVER get a prepaid carrier, no matter how cheap it is.
