fyi - boostmobile unlocks after 12 months

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

If I use Verizon wireless and this comes unlocked, could I move my SIM card over and start using this phone? My 2016 1st gen SE is struggling.
Yes, if you order this and it comes unlocked, you can just move your Verizon sim over to it.

What was your luck with them being locked or unlocked?
Good point. Mine were all locked. Not sure if that would make a difference but certainly possible if Boost wants to reserve the good ones to its own customers.

What is the cheapest plan to use this phone on boost after 3 months? Thank you
It's hard to say. I have a couple promo lines right now for family members, and under "change plan" for one I have all the options, the two cheapest being the 1gb plan for $8.33/month (paid annually, so $100 for one year up front) and 5gb $15/month (paid $45 every 3 months), and on another I only have the $40/month and $60/month unlimited options.

These were both under the same promo so it's not consistent. If you do this and don't see the cheaper options, towards the end of the 90 days I would contact support and ask for the port out pin. Tell them the reason is you can't switch to the cheaper plans so you're leaving to a cheaper carrier; they might open up all the options up for you to keep you with Boost.

You need to make two separate orders, each under a different e-mail address. You might also need two different payment methods, like credit card for one and Paypal for the other.

This is a great trade in deal. Anyone who is looking to upg their current device should jump on this.

Anyone looking for a device for 3 months and free service should jump on this.

Overall a great back up phone. I kept one on former trade-ins, I'm anti-ios guy as a daily driver, but highly impressed by the ability to keep up with today's world.

In the Moto G Stylus from Metro-by-T-Mobile deal thread, lots of people are very confident they'll unlock after 6 months even with just 1 active initial month.

Sounds like the Boost terms say an unlock requires 12 months of active service, does anybody have any experience with this, i.e. might the phone unlock in 12 months even with just the 3 initial months of service?

Of course, let's hope everybody ends up getting shipped a beautiful unlocked one Smilie.

Reports of both so probably a lottery. I'm hoping to learn if Boost truly won't unlock a phone unless you have 12 months active service.

Seems like this question keeps getting asked and no one has a straight answer...
So what's the verdict re: unlocking? Is it 12 months of active service from Boost or just 12 months after purchase (no service after the initial 3 months)? Assuming we don't get lucky and the phone comes unlocked...

Pay attention, "anyone looking to upg their device" does not mean on carrier.
