Yu need 1 year of service to have it unlocked. Boost has the worst unlock policy of any of the major prepaid carriers I have come across.

Is it true you need a full year of service with Boost to unlock the phone?

Which network is the plan on?

Link please.

What I see at the Metro web site is:
"SAMSUNG Galaxy A53 5G
Only $99.

Via 24 monthly bill credits when you add a new line. If you cancel before 24 credits, credits stop & balance on required finance agreement may be due;"

I've had this phone since Summer 2022 on Boost. When I first got this phone, the 5g connection kept dropping a few times a day. You'd have to just turn off mobile data and turn it on again and it would reconnect. After a few updates this hasn't happened to me in a long time. Also the 120hz refresh rate mode is kinda farky, seems less smooth than the 60hz mode and drains the battery faster. I leave it in 60hz. This is the first smartphone I've had with no headphone jack. Not a dealbreaker for me but I can see why it would be for others. Other than those minor complaints, this has been a good budget phone for me, and I would recommend it. It's a lot better than the crap Moto has been putting out the last couple years in the same price range. The screen is good quality and the speaker is loud.
