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

Pay attention, "anyone looking to upg their device" does not mean on carrier.
Yea this deal is a bit confusing bc of their unlock policy. It's really a XR for 100 plus whatever 9 months of additional service equates to.

Only to Google really right? I don't think carriers or best buy/apple are going to accept locked phones?

How's the return policy if you get one that is locked?

Definitely seems like rolling the dice.

Answered my own question, looks like the carriers, Best Buy and Google/Apple don't care if phones are carrier locked. So nevermind, good deal for future trade-in.
In for one!

Boost return policy is not too friendly, but why return it? You can always trade it or sell it for a bit of profit. I am sure many people on here will gladly take it off your hand for $100-110.

Can you use two Sims with this phone? Like boost and mint?

If not, can I port my mint# to Google voice and use it on the iphone?

I traded in an iPhone XR to BestBuy a couple of months ago for pixel 7. They accepted locked phones , at least back in October 2022.

Boost Mobile devices purchased through my.boostmobile.com may be returned within 10 days of purchase.
You'll pay return shipping and the cell service is non refundable. This is similar to most mvno. That's why the deal is priced weird. The phone is 9.99 and the service is 90.00.

Once the 3-month is over, does anyone know how complicated it is to port out?
Also, will the line forever be associated with Boost even if service isn't active for months or years?

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...
I spoke to a rep last night when I ordered and he shut off my autopay for me…he said 12 months of active service

You can use the sim and service that comes with it in any compatible phone, you don't have to use it with the iPhone Xr.
