Is Boost Mobile a reliable cell phone service?

I am thinking of switching from my T-Mobile service to Boost Monthly Unlimited plan and purchase the Mortorola i412 phone, right now I have no problems with texting and dropped calls, can anyone tell me if this plan, phone and service will be reliable so I won't have any of the issues mentioned? Thanks.

Boost mobile uses Sprint towers (CDMA) and older Nextel (iDEN) towers to operate. T-Mobile, on the other hand, uses their own towers (GSM). So you may see a difference in service. You'll have to take a close look at coverage maps in your area.

I have used Boost in the last four states I have lived in with great service: Southern California, Philadelphia, All parts of Florida and lately, Northern Vermont. All have been great. Until this week when the tower serving my area went down for service. Now am on DAY 3 without ANY use of my Blackberry.
