One is main cellphone number and no one has that except immediate family. Not even my siblings or parents have it.
Then I have an everyone else phone number which is google voice.
Then I had set up another google voice number which is a local number for the school to be able to reach me as they can only dial out on a local number, which none of my numbers have the same area code as I have moved a few times since I got each of my numbers. I also have that number forward voicemails and missed calls to a separate Outlook email account and have push notifications set up so I don't miss anything important from the school incase I'm not able to get to the phone right away. It's great too because when the school calls and it's after school hours I know I don't need to answer it and I can read the voicemail transcription. Plus it adds a written record to reflect back onto if I need to save the dates of events or anything else school related. It just makes it easier so I don't need to scramble for a pen and paper when the school calls.
I've used Google voice for over 14 years or so and I don't know what I'd do if they ever got rid of it.
Edit: with the way I have things set up I hardly ever miss an important call unless I don't have my phone near me. and because of the way things are set up I don't really get Spam calls as I've had my cell phone number for many years and I've never given it out to anyone. and Google does a good job blocking spam calls on my Google voice number. and my third line(2nd GV) I don't give that out to any one either so no one ever calls that line.
and I just remembered we have a 4th Google voice number as a house line (used with an Obihai) and that too is only for immediate family. and all calls are blocked except the numbers that are on the contacts list. so that too never rings and if it does it means it's urgent as it's a last resort number if you can't reach us thru our cellphones.
some may think that is excessive but it's really simple and I don't have to worry about random junk phone calls. as some of my other family members phone ring basically non-stop. I don't know how they deal with it.
I think Google voice is one of the greatest ways for voice communication with all of it's features. if they started to charge for it I'd have to rethink how many extra phone lines I have but I'd pay for at least 1 if not 2 lines as long as it's not too ridiculous in price.
H2O SIM card $1 and good for 30 days and 6GB of data (got these from years ago and still haven't gone through them all and they don't expire)
Ting SIM card $1 and good for $30 (recent deal, good for up to 3 months of basic service)
Mint Mobile SIM $1 on Amazon and good for 7 day free trial (still available)
AT&T giving out free trial with 60GB/30 days hotspot which comes with a phone number and SMS (still available)
T-Mobile giving out free trial with 30GB/30 days hotspot which comes with a phone number and SMS (still available)
Whenever they have these deals I just get multiples and I won't have to pay for any carrier service for years. Yes, I have to keep changing my phone #, but I just use my Google Voice as my main # anyway so it doesn't affect me at all.
As a bonus, with each new phone #, you can get $25 Uber Eats new user credit and $20-$25 Amazon GC from the Zogo app. So, you can actually MAKE up to $45 each time you change your #. Well worth it.

I added the eSim to my account and the phone I set it up with worked.
I then swapped the sim to a different phone I wanted to test (iPhone 12 Max). No service. I researched and discovered you have to log into your account and enter the IMEI number of the phone to swap. A pain but I did that. It then told me the service would not work with the IMEI I entered.
So all in all, Boost is a pretty terrible service.

I guess while Boot Mobile is changing ownership and leadership team with that, there will be stupid cases like that. Whatever, can care less. Hope this helps.

We understand. Unfortunately, what it seems is like the SIM card is not compatible with the device. - Amy M.
Plus they say you only have 7 days from order date to get your money back. I didn't even receive the sim until 7 days and didn't get the epin until day 8. I will be getting my $5 back from my dispute filed with AMEX
Update: Disputed with my Citi Card and they credited me $5, and I submitted a review on BBB (1 star).

The Customer Rep wanted 10$ to reactivate my old Sprint IPhone on boost , but was able to get an credit from his supervisor to offset the cost.

When I checked compatibility, website said yes it is. However, seems like Boost mobile doesn't support Galaxy S21 series. There are a lot of complaints on their forum as well.
