Use one tab for the '99 3 month deal. Then open up another tab. Start from the boost Mobile filter out renewed. Find the iPhone XR and pick the $15 month plan and check out. You should have two tabs open, one with the $99 original poster deal and one with the $15 a month plan for $25. Refresh now you can checkout with the phone and plan for $49 total.
Repeat as of 2/10 glitch has been fixed.

Regarding auto-activation / autopay - if you ported in a number, you are probably safe.
If you chose to get a new number, then your service will activate automatically and you will need to chat/call to cancel autopay. (It seems like chat is easier than calling)

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.

All good.
Except when trying to activate. I put the Boost SIM card in, and it says "NO SIM", then goes into SOS only mode. When I put in a T-mo card, it immediately sees it, and I can make a call no problems. So it isn't the SIM card slot itself. When on wifi, I tried calling 611, but it tells me "call failed". This tells me that this SIM card hasn't "handshaked" with their towers. Am I wrong to assume that?
I've been on call with Boost for over an hour now, and I keep telling them that the SIM card is either broken or incompatible with this iPhone, and yet they're giving me the run around. All I want is another SIM card to try. Ugh.
Anyone else having issues "activating" their iPhone?

The SIM card is bad. I put the Boost sim into another locked phone and it wasn't recognized. They're shipping me a new one.
