That's what I did with the other deal. I activated the $15 plan using the IMEI of the iPhone. After 3 months it renews at $45 for another 3 months. It's not know if this will satisfy the 12-month unlock requirement, but technically it should.
so you bought the $15 3 month plan along with this deal?
I just received my iPhone 12 from his deal.
I'm planning to do the same as you.
For some reason I think we have to use the sim that came with the phone in order to get the unlock going. But there is no way I'm going to pay $60 every month...so your method is risky but worth it.
I think I read that someone is using multiple of these $15 3 month cards in hopes to satisfy the 12 months

Yes I activated with the $15 3-month plan. After 3 months it renews for $45 for another 3 months. Fingers crossed it satisfies the unlock requirement. Good luck to us! 🤞

Thanks.
I currently have a previous iPhone 12 deal using the 15 monthly plan
Have you used the boost coins app? I basically get free service. Highly doubt I could reach $45 in 3 months though
so I got my iPhone 12 delivered on Friday.
I didn't open it up since I also bought a $15 3 month boost sim via Walmart and that just got delivered today.
I checked my emails and I received an email from Boost mobile on Nov 8th saying:
You've successfully activated your service!
I personally did not do anything. I am assuming boost activated the $60 card on their own? So this $15 3 month sim from Walmart will not work since I wanted to start the unlock timer with the $15 card.
as I figured, boost activated the account on their own.

I disabled auto pay just now.
the reason this happened is that you must have selected "New number" vs Port-in. New number will auto activate a few days after the phone is shipped out. At this point, you can just activate the 3-month plan and use the phone with that service and continue it for the full 12 months if you plan is to get it unlocked. You may need to contact Boost CS in 12 months to verify the phone usage for that duration. Since you already have an activated Unltd pla for 1 month, might as well just get some use out of it and test out the service.

Use the boostcoin app daily to try to get $15 in free service monthly since you're going to be on that plan

Does your account give you an option to pick a $15 3 month plan again?
Or would we have to buy another $15 3 month plan from Walmart and hope that it counts as 3 months service on the original imei
