Incorrect…at least for me. You can get the deal as an existing Boost customer. On my Boost dashboard under device there is a message saying "You are eligible for an upgrade discount". Clicked it and it took me to the phones, selected the $199 IPhone 12 to add to cart. Checked out and could use existing autopay card on file, new card, or PayPal. $15 was added for tax and I got an email confirmation and text within minutes. I currently have an IPhone SE 2020 purchased directly from Boost in Dec of 2020 on the TMobile network with a $10/month 1gig plan. My wife has an annual plan on the ATT network and brought her phone over from Mint. Not sure if she has the offer but will look later. Ordered about 10 hrs ago and order status says "Complete". My experience with Boost has been nothing but positive. Just loaded the newer Boost One app a few days ago and already have $3 in earned coins to apply to my bill due in a few days.

Ok I know a trick to place the order just for the phone without any plan very easy. Make sure you already have autofill name,address,email ect. saved. First go to plan, BYOP and add the $15 plan first and proceed to cart and stop there, now open new tab and choose iphone 12 hit continue to add to cart, next page is the $40/$60 plan page stop here and go back to first tab, click on the name column and chose your name for autofill, when that's done your cart will auto replace the $15 plan with just the iphone 12 with no plan, now you can check out with paypal or however you want. Now sit and wait for shipping confirmation or cancelation email. I've confirm is still working before I post this.

Hopefully get it(still says error and no email like an hour later), if not cancellation and refund hopefully....under payment methods it says: Your account balance will automatically be applied to upcoming bills, before anything is charged to your payment method......may have to dispute with CC to get money back and hopefully all goes well. Cuz I know they have 7 day return for device, but they may try to hold onto that money.

Do you have any issues using the turbo sim? What iphone on what ios?

It can be buggy and lose service at times. I use an mksd 5.2 chip on an iPhone 11 and I'm on the newest version of iOS.

I just checked and the problem people may run into is Boost doesn't show up in the unlock menu when you try this unlock. At least not with the 5.2 chip. This is one of the newest versions so I'm not sure if people will have any luck with it.

The only way around it is to use a Boost IMSI number. YouTube mksd and imsi and that will help in understanding how these work.

Any link to buy these turbo sims and instructions to follow

Here is a good starting point. Keep in mind these have been known to not work with Boost in the past. You can get them on eBay or this guys site. Keep in mind before buying anything, you want to confirm it works with Boost Mobile phones. Some of the newer ones may work. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=h-UJWWE41Ug

Has anyone talked to Boost to see what the "ERROR" status means, as I have the same error, although they've charged my card?

I want to buy a case so I will have them at the same time, but I don't want a case for a phone they may not ship.

There are some reporting of getting shipping notifications from UPS despite error status. No one (including their own CS) don't know how the system works. It took 7 long chat sessions to activate my XR received last month.

Do you know if the Boost One App can be loaded on a different phone than the one using Boost? I ordered the phone for my son in college. I know he won't do the activities to get points, but I would like to try it on my own phone.

My status from yesterday's order of a black 12 with a $15 plan is "in progress." I didn't create an account yesterday so I don't know if it started with an error message. I did get a confirmation email of the order, shortly after it went through and I see the $26.25 pending in cashback in that portal.

Thank you for explaining this. Now do you think it's possible to hold on to the phone and not swap out his sims card for a couple of months? I want to give it to him as a birthday present

Thank you! Just did this and was able to upgrade my Samsung S9+

Terms on the website claim 60 days but it says you will just keep getting a reminder on the until activated. Not sure if it can go past that. Perhaps someone who has successfully activated past the 60 days will chime in. We activated both of our phones within a week or so after receiving the sims years ago

Yes you can load the app on another device. I have the Boost One app loaded on my IPad and have been getting the coins from there. I am considering moving my sons phone to boost and doing the same thing as you to make sure he gets the points.

Is there cash back somewhere that I missed?

Has anyone received an update beyond error yet? Any confirmed shipments?

I just turned off AutoPay, but will likely dispute my charges on PayPal Monday if nobody's seeing an order process.
