I have gotten the banner 10% off when I clicked on this link to register as a new customer. I think the code is unique. they will ask for your phone number to confirm.
Do you have to port an existing number to get this offer or will they provide you with a number if you are not porting? That doesn't seem clear from the description

Pay attention to previous Boost Mobile threads. While this is a good deal, Boost is a PITA and often won't allow people to activate service because the IMEI isn't in their system or something. Just buyer beware.

NM. The answer is on the new activation page identified in the DS ad.
Bad deal because this is ~$9 more expensive than the current Tello deal via StackSocial, and uses the same network (so similar coverage and compatibility), yet this plan doesn't offer any free data past the 2GBs. Tello offers unlimited 2G past the 2GB high speed allotment.
