Your SIM will come via UPS shipping in a small white padded mailer with a UPS label stuck to it. The padded envelope is very lightweight and can blow away in the wind if left on a porch outside. Watch your tracking and delivery date and plan accordingly! My SIM almost blew away in the wind except I heard the UPS truck leaving and ran out there just in time to grab it as the wind carried it onto my lawn.
SIM will auto activate on the day it is scheduled to be delivered unless you tell them you are porting in an existing phone number.
If you wish to attempt to use an ATT flavor of the Boost SIM to activate your new prepaid service you MUST choose to port in an existing number. Some people say they have had success using ATT flavor of Boost SIM to activate with even though the SIM you will recieve is going to be T-mobile flavor of Boost SIM. Do not assume you can make this deal work with an ATT flavor of Boost SIM, it's absolutely YMMV.
With certain apps you can use all the data when doing a hotspot regardless of what Boost says. But the best apps for this purpose are not free. Some apps are free but have limitations. These apps are like a proxy server and Boost can't see you are doing a hotspot so they can't block it. This tricks works for most other carriers too. Just make sure your specific device can run these apps reliably.

Note: eSim locked devices from other carriers are NOT allowed to activate on Boost as the locked phone is bound to the activation server policy for the original carrier until it's unlocked from that carrier.

Note: Even though the plus sign '+' is valid per email address RFC standards, many web-sites reject such email addresses (violating the aforementioned RFC standards). Gmail ignores the period '.' character in the username part of e-mail addresses, so you could change it to 'user.name' or 'us.er.na.me' and so forth to sign up under a new email address at Boost (i.e. [email protected]) while still receiving emails sent to those alternate period-based usernames in your main account's inbox.
P.S. Outlook.com / Hotmail, I believe, honors the '+' sign alias syntax but am not sure it ignores the period '.' character in usernames.

BECAUSE...
I SUCCEEDED IN GETTING ATT SIM WHICH IS EASY BUT WHEN IT COMES TO NETWORK EXPERIENCE WASTE...
You always see LTE SIGNAL irrespective of your phone model, if you force 4g/5g then that impacts your incoming/outgoing calls.
Even if you achieve 5g on your boost ATT SIM then you'll have a second grade connectivity experience which makes you to switch back to LTE.
So,
Ignore ATT craze and go with what received by default.
I've used T-Mobile via lyca which has flawless internet connectivity and I used to wait for the data reset date as the data limit exceeds because of blazingly fast.
But this one...
End of month current balance sits at 20gb left even though it's your primary device..
So, imagine guys...
For more proof:
I just tested my att boost sim's internet speed and it is 2.32 mbps in FL.
WHILE T- MOBILE mvno sim speed is 11.4 speed with 10% signal imagine if it has full signal which can easily push 100+.
I dont know why people are crazy about ATT SIM which I've and also have to live with it for an year but not happy
Once your into ATT, Can you go back to T-Mobile?
Yes it's easy , cc can't help, but store can capable of helping you from the issue, they do the magic of disconnecting the service and they also give options to select the new plans and pay for it in addition to little expenses towards activation and service fee etc etc .
You can also forget happily that you paid $150 already and also can be convinced( foolishly) that when the store says " We can help you solve the issue". 😵 💫🙃

Go to any boost mobile store and pay $10 plus tax and call to customer care and tell your ICC ID and get your $150 plan activated on it.
You can also do it on ur own, but people suggest cc, dny.
But the process u do and cc r exactly same.

How bad is the TMO deprioritize vs ATT? I have great TMO service where I am and generally a city suburban type not rural. I'm currently on the TMO $10/month data only plan 2GB and its generally just fine. If I use the data up I either bump it up for the month or use something else. This is nice at $12.50, although it wont work with the Amex Bus Plat $10/month get your fee reimbursed fully. But ok.
