Boost Infinite launched on December 7, 2022, offering beta access to select customers and launching full service the following year.
Dish began notifying
Republic Wireless customers on July 10, 2023, that Republic Wireless would be shutting down and they would be transferring to Boost Infinite. The transition to Boost Infinite completed on August 31, 2023, and Republic Wireless shut down the same day. However, many Republic Wireless customers have experienced loss of service, and often their phone number, for lengthy periods as Boost Infinite has been so far incapable of migrating them to their service.
Dish and
Amazon announced an agreement on July 25, 2023, to sell Boost Infinite on Amazon. Amazon sells prepaid wireless services and Boost Infinite became the first postpaid wireless service sold on the online retail. Amazon Prime members are automatically pre-qualified to sign up for Boost Infinite's service.
