you can let the 60/month plan expire and get the boost mobile prepaid 3months of service for $15 at bestbuy right now. regular price is $45 for 3 months of service.

hopefully that will count towards the 12 months of active service
is boost like tmobile/att where you can take out the sim and put a new one in and it will start working?
Or do you have to contact boost for the swap like you would at metro?
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
Also, at least for when the deal was tied to the 40 dollar plan someone posted them being 3 months in that plan thinking it would be possible to downgrade the plan after 3 months, but the option never showed. In my personal experience with the unlimited Boost mobile plan, at least in my location, is that it is not worth it at all (the one offering 12 Gb or tethering). It is heavily de-prioritized so when using this plan, I only get fast and stable data late at night or very early in the morning (before 8), otherwise data is un-stable, most noticeable when placing a video call where video and audio will stutter to the point of being unable to hold a conversation. Even in youtube, video will pause every 5 min or so for like 30 seconds to a minute, sometimes more frequently. By contrast both visible and cricket unlimited plans are very stable, even if cricket does cap the speed of their unlimited plan (and uses the same AT&T network as Boost), at least you have constant stable data vs Boost unlimited plan which is very hard to use reliably during most of the day and you only get good speeds in low use times. This problem is not present in the regular data-limited plans of Boost by the way, like the 5 Gb plan where connection is stable and high speed the majority of the time. So much so that, at least in my area, it is better than visible or tracfone most of the times.
If I already have Boost can I just stick my current sim in it when it arrives and cancel the $60 plan?
Yes, with Boost the phone is not tied to the specific SIM like it is on Verizon and its MVNOs. Just be aware that nobody knows if the unlock will be fulfilled if you use a different SIM card.
