No idea or experience with either Boost or Jolt. Sorry.

You can buy a Boost starter on Ebay. Not sure about Boost international rates. Cannot imagine they are low.

Currently there are no Jolt starter sets for sale on Ebay US. They seem to have coverage in CA. Not clear to me how you sign up or if you can simply purchase a SIM card alone. Seems to me you need to buy a starter set WITH phone.

As I recall, Boost is a Nextel reseller. Nextel uses a proprietary protocol called iden. I might be wrong again, but I think phones are expensive and outside of a handful of countries, they would be useless.

I use an LG G6, wife an S7) A/o Oct 20, 2013 no need for intl prepaid as T-Mobile U.S. includes voice roaming at 20¢/min (in and out)., unlimited text (in and out), and unlimited data in 140+ countries. My Plan -[6 lines] U.S. T-Mobile unlimited minutes (incoming and outgoing), unlimited text, fast data on each line. that $145/mo. total! . (In U.S. no surcharge for calling a cell.) If a line exceeds 2G of data in a month, pay $10 more for that line. [That only happens a couple times/year.
