Sprint may favor Boost, since they only have a $55 per month plan, while Virgin offers 3 tiers - $35, $45 and $55 per month.

The Shrinkage on Boost is also an interesting concept. Personally, I had to switch to the $55 unlimited plan on VM because I was using the cell phone so much for mobile calls. Right now Boost looks like a better option for me, unless I go with a different pre-paid carrier, and the only other one that would work for me is T-Mobile. Metro PCS is crap, and Cricket is not fully supported in my area.
