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

This is essentially a free iphone if you were able to get a $25 one stacked with a cash back site. I will be happy with my $100 and $50 phone. Did get $26 cash back on one so averages out at 2 for $62 each. One will be for blue bubbles to have iMessage on my android phone and will have the worse condition one for a future trade in deal.

For those of you trading this in for something is the pixel 7 from Google store a good idea ? Seems like it could be slick if you could price match best buy and get the $300 trade in value for this phone. Pull the trigger on that one wait for something better ?
Can you please explain how you are using one phone to enable blue bubbles on your android? That sounds pretty cool actually

Anyone else noticed that there are positive balances in the account? For my $50 order, in account it shows $92.93 account balance. It looks like even though the order is with one month $40 plan, they give the credit for 2 more months, their systems still honor the x3 free months. laugh out loud Downgrade to $15 plan, you get another 6 months service without paying any.

I guess the question is how important is original screen?

The original screen or at least an OEM screen repair would allow Face ID to work. If it's a non-OEM screen, Face ID will not work (neither would True Tone in Display options)

If you plan on unlocking the device with a PIN #, then it's no big deal

It's pretty easy to turn off auto pay through the chat feature on the site. You ask for it, they ask for your name, the number of the line and your pin that you set up. Then it is turned off.

So best to set up a line correct to turn it off using chat

I did order a Red iPhone XR, scheduled to be delivered on the $50+ order. Will report condition on receipt. No telling if I will actually receive a Red color.

Yes I've heard of airmessage but I've always thought you need a Mac computer to be able to run it, and I just checked, the website seems to indicate the same...?

so if you need a Mac to run airmessage then what is the iphone XR that you bought used for in terms of the airmessage process?

Got my $100 phone today, 9/10, screen is pristine, slight scratches around the camera from being in a case, camera lens is perfect. Sim unlocked, True Tone active, volume down button lacks a solid click but functions fine, 83% battery health. $50 phone should be here tomorrow, will probably keep the better of the two and dump the other.

You do need an old Mac like a mini to run as a relay to imessage (I use bluebubbles).

You also need an old iphone that you can use to put your active sim card into, get it to register with imessage as able to send/receive imessages to this number, then put in an inactive sim, turn on wifi, and leave the phone connected to the internet (on a wireless charger etc). Then download the bluebubbles app on both the old mac mini, and your android, and voila, you get blue bubbles and most imessage features without having to buy an expensive iphone. Be judged no longer by the color of your messages, and use your superior android phone Stick Out Tongue

Nice, yes I was reading about it and it sounds like if you use air message that you only need the mac and you don't need an iPhone
