I don't think this is a great deal when the iphone 11 can be had for as low as $60 from Metro PCS, that's with 1 month service included and you wait 6 months instead of 12 for unlocking.

I was able to add the phone and $15 plan by going to phone buy page selecting color and clicking check availability. Then before choosing a plan open new tab and BYOP (https://my.boostmobile.com/shop/buy/plans/) with $15 plan and click Choose Plan. Total (before tax) in cart $214.99.

can you explain a bit? How do you do that --- ?free service with the boost coins app and the $15 plan? What is the $15 plan? did you just use the coin to redeem the plan?
the $15 monthly plan was available early on when this $200 iPhone 12 was available.

boost coins is an app, you register and every day, you go on the app
if you are consistent, you can get $1.50 every 7 days alone just by going on the app and watching one video.

if you watch all the videos which might take like 10 minutes per day, you can pretty much get free service via the boost coins.
I haven't paid for service since I am using the boost coins app.

You never need unlocked phone to trade-in for full value at Bestbuy and Apple.
It doesn't apply though if you are financing at the same operator and trying to trade that in with them - like t-mobile, att will not accept your trade-in if you financed/owe that phone with them and it is not paid/unlocked.

My total cost for this phone with CA sales tax is $260.67 + ($41.77 x 12 months) = $761.91
I tried to downgrade my Unlimited plan in the Boost store and online, but I cannot get the $25 plan until my phone is unlocked, and you got to use the iPhone 12 with Boost network for one year to get it unlocked. I am three months in to find out I got nine more months.

Apple.com sells iPhone 12 for $599 + tax.

My total cost is $231.13 INCLUDING the 12 months of service because months 2-12 are free from Boost Coins. I spend about a minute each morning spinning the wheel and watching one video. Plus I got $53.35 cash back from the Top place.

Service has been fine, but the 5GB on the $15 plan is just a little low for my kid's usage (ran out one month, and will likely run out this month) and it is a hard stop. I asked about upgrading to the $25 plan, but was also shut down.

Worst case scenario, he can go to the Apple store and trade it in for $300 towards an unlocked phone, so no regrets here.

Plus $40 service plan for first month

update: different service plan available by following steps members share in the comments.
Use the $40 plan for a year for the phone to be unlocked. NOT 1 month!

There are no $15 plans for a phone that is not unlocked. This iPhone 12 needs a year of use on the boost network to be uncloaked. How do I know? I got this deal following what people said on slickdeals and not reading what was on the Boost website. The jokes are on me, lol, stupid.

I did live chat and talked to boost employers in-store. ONLYY the $40 plan is available. If you want your iPhone to unlock, you must use their network for one year. The $25 plan is for unlocked phones only. I didn't know until I was three months into the plan since slickdeal said one month of services

We'll have to wait and see, I hope not, as terms should state "12 months of service" as the only requirement.
Now I know it is 12 months. of service! When I bought it I was thinking is only one month of service. When I contacted Boost after one month, they said ill had to wait three months. After three months, they told me I got to wait a year. That's how they get you. I have learned not to trust slickdeals because they don't update their deals, even if it's on their front page.

I am on the $15 plan with the locked iPhone 12. Many of us who got in on this deal early were able to get the cheaper plan. And some lucky ones even had their phones automatically unlock after a month or two (but not me).

who mentioned it was 1 month?
I'm usually in the iPhone deal threads.
Boost = 1 year
Metro = 6 months (but you can pay for 1 month only, wil autol unlock around the 180th day)
Cricket = 180 days
Total = 1 Month

maybe you got confused. I haven't noticed someone mentioning 1 month for boost.

I need an iPhone that I can use for work apps over Wifi and a camera. Would I have any issue buying this and just never activating cellular? This is a brand new phone or renewed?

Does anyone have problem with payment with message "something went wrong while processing transaction"? Tried several cards debit/credit.

BTW, two weeks ago there was even the option to pay via PayPal, which should not be available when buying a phone. Which I used and now I'm trying to return the money because nothing was sent. Everything is strange with the Boost.
