Not bad, although I'm guessing you'll get hit with taxes on original full MSRP

Buy 4 iphone6s for $100, add $100/month family plan? How soon can I port out the number? Still in time for Costco trade in?

This "deal" has been going on for a month and when all the taxes on original msrp, plan, activation fee is added in, they quoted me $152. Too much for a 12 month lock to Boost on their weak network.

They will hit you with full tax on the phone plus activation fee.

Back when Boost had the iPhone SE for $49, they charged me tax on $399. This was at a store in LA County. I tried a handful of Boost locations and they were all doing the same thing, so my guess is it'll be the same for this deal.

That is usually true for most phones in California that you will get taxed on full price even if not paying full price. Something that while doing mobile sales I disagreed with personally, so many times I had customers not happy about that. I always made sure they knew that from the start because I didn't want them to feel surprised or conned when it came to checkout time. Also because some customers budget tight. A possible $60 or so in taxes per phone is not something I would wanna be surprised with either.

Is it just me or has Boost got the scummiest dealers? Right up there with MetroPCS and Cricket dealers (not corp stores, which are also shit but have less scams)...
