Amazon gives Dish Wireless a boost as it builds the country’s fourth cellular network

Amazon began selling SIM kits for Boost Infinite cellular service on Wednesday, greatly expanding the potential customer base for the monthly plan offered through Englewood-based Dish Network.

In December, Dish Wireless rolled out Boost Infinite to tap the larger and more loyal postpaid part of the market — consumers who prefer to receive a bill each month. Dish, however, remains better known for providing satellite television, not cellular services, which is why gaining access to Amazon’s Prime customer base, estimated at more than 150 million people in the U.S., is such a big deal.

Infinite Boost claims that the price of $25 will be “locked forever.” But that monthly price is before government taxes and fees. And unlimited data gets slowed down after 30 GB in a month per user, with another 10 GB available for $10 more a month per line.
