🌄 January seems like a long month, but I took some time in the middle of the week to take a walk on one of Edinburgh’s most beautiful hills, with good company, good coffee, and good weather for once!

Speaking of January, it’s a great time to think about changing your cell phone carrier. With so many providers and plans to choose from, it feels like a bit of a minefield! That brings us nicely to this week’s sponsor.

If you’re thinking of moving away from your prepaid service and you’re looking for a great deal, Boost is the answer. Not only is Boost the newest paid carrier on the market, but it’s also the first to boast its own 5G network with blazing speeds. Right now, you can get your first month of 5GB 5G/4G LTE data for $0.99, with 2-day shipping for just $5*. This offer includes a free SIM card as well as a mobile hotspot and works on most unlocked GSM phones, with unlimited calls and texts. After the first month, you’ll pay $25 per month in perpetuity, which means you don’t have to worry about price hikes in the future. There are no activation fees or hidden fees, so Boost is the last phone plan you’ll ever need.

*Applicable to new customers – This deal is only available online
