No other devices will work with Boost as they use an iDEN network and this is not compatible with the GSM networks in the US even though they do use a SIM card. The SIM card does work in them for international roaming though. It will not work either way.
Yes , A boost mobile phone be used on another carrier network ,Boost Mobile uses a very unique and different network than most of ther cell phone carriers. Their network is called IDEN.

Boost Mobile
Boost mobile sim cards will only work with boost mobile on the nextel network nextel is a iden network standalone that will not roam on gsm networks because nextel is a iden network
Boost is a division of Sprint/Nextel.
Yes, you can because Boost Mobile is locked to the Optus Network.
If the unlocked phone is an IDEN network phone then yes. If the unlocked phone is a GSM phone, meaning it was previously locked to a GSM carrier (i.e. AT&T, T Mobile) then it would not work on Boost Mobile as this carrier uses a different technology, which is not compatible with GSM based phones.
U.S. wireless roaming is free on all nationwide Boost Mobile plans. While no additional fees are incurred during roaming with prepaid wireless carrier Boost Mobile, these roaming minutes are treated like your regular Boost Mobile minutes.
yes you can put a boost mobile SIM in because the run off the same network. You could also use ISIM, VIRGIN MOBILE, ect.
I'd recommend you call Boost Mobile customer service on this one. When I tried doing it in 2010, you could not transfer a Boost Mobile phone number to another carrier (and, just like you, I tried transferring it to Verizon) - you couldn't even transfer a Boost Mobile number to Nextel (Boost Mobile basically was a prepaid Nextel). Things might have changed, now that Nextel has been eliminated and fully folded into Sprint, although I'm doubtful.
No, you can't because the Sanyo Incognito is with Boost Mobile and Boost Mobile uses CDMA network. So there. Does that answer your question?
Boost mobile has two types of service, CDMA and IDEN. So technically its CDMA and TDMA, they do not have GSM service.
Boost Mobile runs on the Sprint network so it is good quality coverage. However, Boost Mobile is not as widely available as other carriers so it may be slow in certain locations.
Currently, the Motorola i465 phone can have either T-Mobile or Boost Mobile as its network. So far, there is no Motarola i465 phone with a Verizon network.
