I just called Boost , their customer service barely spoke English
got transferred to the cancelation department
the woman named Amanda told me that this is the price and the device is prepaid and I will not be charged if I don't use the device
If I want to use the device then I can buy a plan from their website.

I hope this helps

Then they have to list the price next to 99¢ with activation.
If you click the link, it literally states in the description with "Retail Price $49.99" and then it is crossed out and then says "Save $49.00" in red bold with $0.99 in black bold. Check it out. It is listed right next to the "Add To Cart" button.

*Just pay the $15 month plan and use the device as intended for at least the first month.

Very interesting information. How do you enter the unlock code?
The hotspots came with boost SIM cards but were not in the device just inside the shipping box with hotspot, I never even put boost sim in it. I ordered the unlock code on eBay. I had to provide the iemi # off the device which is on box or under battery. And within 24 hours I had the code. I put in SIM card from another device other then boost. I when connected my phone or computer to the hotspot and used the logon information for the hotspot to get admin access to it. With different SIM card in hotspot you can't change settings it prompts you for unlock code. Put code in and it unlocked. I then put my Visible SIM card in and made a few changes in settings and it worked. I did 2 of them to take to Philippines 🇵🇭 . Oh just checked price was 2.99…

Impossible to get someone helpful on the phone. I've been hung up on a few times just trying to ask for help (disconnected after being put on hold). One person said I have to receive and RMA it. This company is a joke.

I'm not sure this will work... the $1 SIMS (black) are on ATT... these are being shipped with the TMob sims (orange)/

Has anyone tried it with the ATT SIM?T
These can be unlocked via code ordered via eBay. I was planning to do that anyway because I want to use on Visible. I'll keep evidence of my devices being active on Boost black and will use that as a retort if/when I get a letter from a collector.

The only thing I'm truly worried about is Boost blacklisting the IMEIs

and you were never charged any extra for the device for not activating with boost?

If they even attempt to charge, what's stopping me from calling my bank and telling them I don't recognize or did not authorize that charge?

Just got off the phone with Boost Mobile support (1-833-502-6678) and they said it's a one time charge, no additional charges over the next couple months. Anyone who called to check what was your experience?

I just looked at the specs and it doesn't seem to have Verizon band 13. However, it has been reported to work on Visible when unlocked. I'm assuming that's due to accessing bands 4 and 66 only. Can anyone report how fast this device works on Visible?

visible is Limited hotspot data to 5 Mbps.

I can edit the TTL on my T9 hotspot to get 20 Mbps
