Your SIM card will arrive via UPS 2nd day air. It's a 9 x 12 inch padded mailer. My mailer was white in color. UPS left it on the doorstep and due to the light weight it almost blew away! So keep an eye on that package tracking because the wind can carry it off from your porch or doorstep.
Q: What network does Boost Mobile use?
A:. Owner of Boost is Dish. They are trying to create their own network. That will take forever though. In the meanwhile, they are using both At&t and T-Mobile. For online deals, expect to receive a T-Mobile sim.
Q: Is there a trick to receive an At&t sim?
A: No promises this will work, but someone said entering 49619 as the zip code accomplishes this.
https://howardforums.co
Q: If I receive a T-Mobile sim, can I use a purchased At&t sim and activate the sim using this plan?
A: Maybe. When ordering, check the box: "I will transfer it (existing number) during activation." Later on, log into your account activate this plan using the At&t sim . Whether this technique still works with the promo plans is unknown to me. People usually do this with regularly priced plans.
Q: Where would I even get an At&t sim?
A: Not at big retailers like Amazon, Target, Walmart, or Best Buy. They all sell the T-Mobile one. You would need to go to a Boost retail store. Store cooperation is mixed as they probably want to sell you a new line. Alternative would be ebay. On ebay, search using something like the phrase: "This Will Give You Access To AT&T Network With This Sim Card By Boost Mobile".
Q: Should I pick: "Yes. I will transfer it during activation." OR "No. Give me a new number.
A. Selecting the transfer option is the better option even if you want a new number as this delays activation. Boost will activate the sim if you select the new number option which means you lose service days while the sim is in transit.
Q: I want to port my number in but I still have a few months left with my other provider. Can I delay activation that long?
A: From a Boost rep on reddit: "For this promotion, there should be no restriction here and you should be free to activate whenever you'd like!"
https://www.reddit.com/r/BoostMob...t/krt6r5e/
Q: I activated a T-Mobile sim but now I want to try the At&t one. Is it possible?
A: No because in order to switch networks you would have to port out, start a new account, port back in, and sign up for whatever plan is available at that moment. The 1/2 price $300 plan will surely not be an option then.
Q: Can I get a new number now and then port in a different number sometime in the future after evaluating the service?
A: No.
Q: When does the deal end?
A: According to the Boost rep on reddit: "11:59 PM MST this coming Sunday evening (02/25/2024)."
Q: I am not staying for year 2. What do I need to do?
A: Make sure auto-pay is disabled. Auto-pay settings can be found on their website and within the Boost One app. Other option is to port out. Port out at least a week before year 1 ends. ****Boost will charge you the regular price of $300 for year 2 if you do nothing.****
Q: If after year 1, can I downgrade to a different, cheaper plan?
A: Probably not unless you port out and then back in as all the less expensive plans are for new users. After a year, you would not be considered a new user.
Q: Deal says new users only. How do I get around that?
A: Use an email address never associated with Boost.
Q: I am a active Boost user. Can I just switch to this plan easily?
A: No. You would need to port out and come back in with a new email address and account. Any unused Boost coins would be lost and if you have a Boost-locked phone, the 1 year service requirement to unlock it would be interrupted.
Q: What happens after I use 35gb for the month?
A: Throttle speed is 512kbps. This deal is more suited for those who reach past 35gb only on rare occasions.
Q: I can get past the email check.
A: Disable ad-blocker, use a different browser, or go to the cart directly:
https://boostmobile.com/shop/buy/...:FS6Months
Q: What the heck is a Boost Coin?
A: Currency that can be used to pay off your Boost cellular service plan. Coins cannot be used to buy a phone. Five minutes of your time done everyday would yield about $11, $12, maybe $13+ (if you are lucky) a month off your bill. Less coins will be earned if there are glitches in the app. People who purchase this annual plan would not be able to use any of the coins earned until it is time to pay for year 2.
How to earn Boost Coins
1. Launch the Boost One app (log in if needed).
2. Spin wheel to see how many coins you win (99% time wheel lands on 5 coins).
3. Watch 5 video ads that last about 30 seconds each.
4. Set alarm on your phone for 24 hours later because that is earliest you can spin the next day.
5. Done for the day.
Q: I see phones at a discount on the Boost website. Can I buy them at that price now that I am a Boost user?
A: You can only buy one if you declare yourself as a new user with a different email address & also pay for the 1st month of service which is usually $40 or $60. Then, you would disable auto-pay and let that plan expire after the first month. Phone would still be locked to Boost as the account used to buy the phone was not active for 12 months. However, you could move the phone to an account that has active service on Boost.
Q: What is the 9 month upgrade rule?
A: Boost usually allows users whose accounts are 9+ months old to buy one of the discounted phones you see on their website without purchasing a new line or upgrading their existing plan. Whether the 9 month upgrade rule will apply here is not known as Boost can make changes to their policies anytime they want. We will just have to wait and see.
Q: Is eSim supported on Boost Mobile?
A: eSim works only for newer Apple devices. Android not yet supported. I seem to remember Boost moving old Sprint customers on eSim to At&t. So, maybe it is easier to get onto At&t with an e-Sim supported Apple phone as compared to Android users who want to be on At&t. Obviously this is just a guess on my part.

When you activate, the SIM uses its $150 credit to purchase 1 year of service at the discounted rate of $150.
If you fail to activate in the time frame, which is anywhere from 3-6 months, they will charge you full price (an additional $150) and add it to the SIM cards balance for when/if you ever activate it.
No matter what, you are purchasing 1 year of service and the SIM card they send will forever have 1 year of prepaid service sitting on it. Whether you activate in 1 day or 3 years it will still work, the only difference is whether you pay $150 or $300 for that SIM.
Wasted so much time and energy when I bit on a Slick Deal last year and they overcharged me $180 which took 10+ calls and 2 months to get back (They initially issued it as credit to my account and I had to fight even more to get it back to my card)

Honestly, this is probably the reason Boost seems to primarily ship T-Mobile SIMs -- T-Mobile doesn't keep a whitelist, so potentially less compatibility issues.
At&t is finicky about what phones will be allowed on their network and have full functionality. Anything not on their whitelist is lucky to get activated, yet alone have everything working properly.

AT&T MVNO unlimited is QCI9, the lowest of the four tiers of AT&T QCI.
Maybe it is not T-mobile deprioritization but network coverage or device issues.
I have had same issue on different devices.
Yes, we can do at&t instead of the sent T mobile sim. Just go to a boost mobile store ask for a boost at&t (black sim) they will sell for 9.99 and after that I just went home went to boost mobile activation and entered iccid of the new boost at&t sim and entered my old Carrier account and pin and within 5-10min my account activated. Remember to choose bring ur own number (port in) don't ask for new number because they will activate the Sim they ship. Even if you need new number just say bring ur own number and later u can request for new number in activation page.
UPDATE: I chatted with customer service and was told my service was activated on AT&T.

Is there any way to convert this art sim to an eSIM ? Or will it be T-Mobile always with esim ?
I don't think you could convert physical At&t sim to esim if you received T-Mobile SIM from boost. However, to get around this I think first you can activate the physical sim which will get you on AT&T and then contact customer service later to convert it to esim(I think once you activate on one service it can't be changed)
