only if the boost mobile phone has a sim card holder. if it doesn't, you won't be able to use it. and if it does have a sim card holder, the phone might need to be unlocked to be able to read your sim card.

You can get a boost phone if it takes a SIM card, and if it is compatible with Cingular SIM cards. All SIM's are not created equal. Also, if you do get one, you will not be able to use the boost mobile features on that phone with Cingular service. You will also need to get the subsidy unlock code from the phones manufacturer before you can even think about putting it onto your Cingular service.

Pretty sure it won't work because of the different technology used between Sprint/Nextel and Cingular. iden vs.gsm base technologies. If it was a T-Mobile phone it would work fine with the unlock code for the phone. Maybe one day we all will be one. But until that day comes some phones can and some phones can depending on the type of format the service provider uses.

Unfortunately not. Only because boost is a different company than Cingular. Even if they both take sim cards, they still both read sim cards differently. So it would not work through Cingular.
