YMMV, obviously, but I ordered two of these and both are unlocked. I have not yet activated the Boost lines that came with these.

Note that one has a 3rd party battery, as I got the warning, and the other has battery health of 83%. I'm guessing they replace the battery if health is less than 80%.

I don't think there was a color option; both phones I got are black.

I set up both phones on wi-fi before inserting a sim card and checked the sim status in the settings. Then I inserted a non-Boost sim to test. I tested with Cricket and Mint sims and both worked fine.

The bodies of each had minor scuffs and scratches, with the screens in very good condition. Screens also appeared to be original, as the "true tone" option is available on both. Face ID worked fine on both as well.

They came in plain white boxes with a Boost sticker on top and had an OEM usb-a lightning cable with a generic charging brick. (if it's not an OEM cable, it sure looks and feels like one)

$100 is a killer deal for a used, unlocked iPhone Xr, and this one includes 3 months of coverage.

Metro deal requires porting over from another carrier, also need to go to store can't order online,and most stores add extra fees like activation/tax on original price, meanwhile this deal can be ordered online, includes 3 months of service, and you don't need to port

Anyone knows the battery condition of these types of reconditioned phone?
Apple used to have new battery on their refurbished phones.

Anyone got this renewed iPhone before? How is the condition?
Quote from purpledime18 :
Don't expect much on Boost Mobile 'renewed' iPhones. Their renewed are not like new, but used or preowned mostly with battery health percentage around 80%. Battery service is required or recommended for iPhone when health is below 80%. So it would be good for trade in.
Tracfone renewed/refurbished iPhones are really like new inside out with battery health 100%. Their refurbished iPhone XR is listed for $99 plus $15 service plan with 60 day unlock.
I've bought 5 renewed iPhones from Boost and all have had stellar batteries. It is possible purpledime18 got a lemon. Not my experience, though.

when do you turn off recurring payments on Paypal? Can I do it right after I pay?

Quote from FancyLeopard :
It unlocks a year after activation right? Not a year of paid service. I don't have to pay for service after the initial 90 days that comes with this plan?
In addition to this question, can I buy the phone now and port in my number later?

Screw it, for $100 I'll take the chance.
Possible outcomes:
1) The phone is used so it'll come already unlocked
2) It'll unlock after 12 months without me having to pay for extra service past the initial 90 days.
3) I'll have a $100 paper weight.

I have had good luck with Total Wireless and Straight Talk so far having bought 3 XR (~$150 after taxes and first month plan) and two traded in already for iPhone 14.

This deal at $100 + tax is quite decent with less spend for trading in, comes with 3-months of service, new throwaway number for any port-in deals and use the SIM in any phone with ease unlike TW/ST.

What was your luck with them being locked or unlocked?

I like to get these and use them as ipod touches for the kids. Just tether them to our phones in the car and boom, they don't have to play on our phones.

Ordered one, could be useful as both port out number and trade it for 100 less cb good idea. Also can this sim card go into different phone that is unlocked? I have someone who could use 3 months of service before the port and they have an unlocked iphone 13.

Correct... you can do it right after the 1st payment. Just click cancel. Works great.
