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.

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.
I had it all planned out to get a new iPhone 12 for my daughter - buy the iPhone 12 with $40 plan. Get a separate new line of 5GB $15 per month plan where I will port my daughter's number to. Cancel the $40mplan after a month. Use the $15 sim card on the new phone, have it unlocked after a year. Sounded like a great plan in theory. 😀

So first I wanted to get the $15 plan activated before buying the phone. When I submitted the order (PayPal), it said the payment was declined. I was about to go place another order with a credit card but checked PayPal to find out I got charged already. Did a chat with the rep and they said my account didn't get created but there is a charge on the account. And they opened a ticket for it to be refunded. It's been over a week and no refund yet.

So based on this experience, I am not going anywhere near Boost.

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.
Create a case in PayPal and say nothing delivered that it was for a phone otherwise they think you paying for services on a boost account

Boost is the worst carrier by a mile. I had horrible experiences with them. The only way to get money back is to dispute through PayPal. They will hold your money hostage and their horrible customer service will do nothing to help.

Friends, This is really fraud. I know many of us will say take a phone and deactivate it right away. I did that and i ended up paying $92 after 3 months. When i called the customer service they said they can't do anything and i will be charged 92. Comp skip Boost.

Wow. That's dirt cheap. Nice.

But this is significantly different.

New design.
OLED screen.
eSim support
Extra year or two of official support.

When I go to PayPal and request refund, it says do it with Boost and the email id is [email protected]. It's ridiculous how shady this business is. I ended up creating a case (via Report a problem) with PayPal. Under review. Also saw that it actually created the Boost payment and an automatic recurring payment. Canceled that as well.

BTW, I have been using Mint Mobile and Tello for a while now. Super happy with everything.

Yes they will set up auto renewal also without authorization. That's another part of their horrible service. It's just shady as a whole. PayPal probably gets a ton of disputes with them. I had to get corporate to get my last refund. It was a mess.

Is this currently the best deal for someone wanting an iPhone that isn't too old that wants the cheapest unlimited text monthly fee (if I downgrade to $25 a month after the initial $40 month)?
