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

I used PayPal on my account. Then in my PayPal account I disabled any further charges from boost mobile. Juts to be sure, I then changed my payment method to a visa gift card that had only $1.28 credit remaining. Then I went to Amazon and purchased a $1.28 gist card with the remaining balance from the visa gift card.
if the phone is activated (if a new number is requested, the phone will be shipped pre-activated) they will still send you a paper bill even though the auto-pay is disabled, right?

It's a prepaid so you don't get bills like postpaid. If it's paid the service continues. If not the service stops. Only reminder texts will be sent regarding payment.

I was wondering the same thing and asked about it earlier today. In my opinion, a phone with FaceID not working is not a fully functional phone. I would want a replacement.

I'm sure reaching out to customer service will yield some results. Keep us posted.

I'm seeing that on their site now. It shows no exchanges. You must return and repurchase. I wonder how they would handle a repurchase with the price being $9.99 and service being $90.00.

NO EXCHANGES: Boost Mobile does not exchange products purchased through boostmobile.com. If an exchange is necessary, products should be returned for a refund first, in accordance with this Policy. Afterwards, a new product may be purchased through boostmobile.com.

Received $50 phone today.

The exterior is in good condition. Unfortunately, there is an obvious screen defect...too bad.

Black, unlocked, true-tone display, 95% battery health.

That makes no sense. How can charge you for service on a line that doesn't exist?
Yeah, it makes no sense.

I don't read all the Boost Mobile threads on SD, but just in the past half year or so, I remember at least two people mentioning that they kept getting charged even after they ported out their numbers.

Charging them for what? That's fraud.

I picked up two of these, a red one and a blue one. To my shock, they are both unlocked!
