Default List of compatible phones?

I am looking to buy (probably used) telephone to use with Boost Mobile pay as you go unlimited service. Where can I find a list of compatible phones? The Boost Mobile website only shows those phones which it is currently selling. I am current using a Huawei Ascend M860 with metroPCS.

T-Mobile uses GSM technology. Boost Mobile uses CDMA technology. Incompatible altogether.

If you know someone who can enter the phone's ID into the Boost Mobile system, then any Sprint / Virgin Mobile / Boost Mobile phone should work just fine for you easily. Other phones may be possible (depending on bands the phone supports), but would be more work and may get you poor results.

Look on ebay, there is many phones converted to boost, like evo 4G and evo 3d. They just use donar phones for the iemi number

Motorola Renegade V950 is compatible with Boost. Can talk, SMS and go on the web with the phone without any problems. Yes it is a Sprint phone.
