Dish Wireless today opened up what it calls a limited early access beta to its Boost Infinite postpaid wireless service. The beta arrives ahead of Boost Infinite’s more formal launch, which is expected at some point in the first quarter of 2023.
Customers who sign up between now and the end of December will gain unlimited talk, text, and data for $25 per month. Boost noted that taxes and fees may be extra. The company says it is “taking a stand on pricing” by offering the $25 rate plan “forever.” People who take advantage of the beta will be able to enjoy the $25 plan as long as they hold onto their Boost Infinite account and keep the account in good standing.
Boost is offering the early access program to customers who purchase or finance a new phone through Boost Infinite, as well as to those who bring their own device. The beta is available at beta.BoostInfinite.com(Opens in a new window).

Boosting Dish
Dish Wireless kicked off its own service earlier this year under the Project Genesis moniker. Dish was under federal mandate to launch the 5G network by mid-2022 and in July it covered as many as 73 million Americans in 120 markets. Dish has not provided a recent update on its coverage, though it says it has more than 10,000 towers covering 35% of the population. Dish is required to cover 70% of the population with 5G by mid-2023.
Dish recently revealed(Opens in a new window) that it gained just 1,000 wireless customers during its third quarter, compared to a loss of 121,000 in the year-ago period. The company has about 8 million wireless retail customers that it inherited when it scooped up Boost Mobile from T-Mobile/Sprint.
