Sprint has been in the news a lot over the last few months, as its very survival seems to hinge on whether or not America’s third-largest wireless service provider will ultimately be allowed to absorb the industry’s current number four.

The move is far from shocking, and if anything, it’s likely to make it easier for Dish to absorb and unite Sprint’s different prepaid divisions. No customers will be abandoned, of course, with Sprint instead planning to transfer everyone to Boost Mobile “beginning in February.” A “comparable or better” Boost service plan will be offered in “most instances” at absolutely no extra cost, and you’ll naturally be allowed to retain your existing phone number. 

Basically, the only important change is that PayPal is not supported on Boost Mobile, so you’ll need to choose a different payment method if you currently use that for your Virgin Mobile service.
