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.

Unlocked iPhone 15 on Mint 12 month plan expiring in 3 weeks, usually the renewal is $180 plus fees, comes to $200
Use typically 4GB data
With Iphone15 having no SIM tray, what would be the sequence of steps to switch incl. keeping the number ? I have a backup iPhone XS
ATT jump would be preferred.

During the activation flow you'll be given the option to port in your current phone number, and be asked for the relevant details (account number w/your existing provider, transfer PIN, etc) -- you get these details from your existing carrier (e.g. Mint).
Also is there a deadline we have to activate if we're porting in a number? I don't need to switch services until a few more months but would love to lock in this deal for then.

here's what i'm thinking...if $25 cashback works...plus 5% this would come out to $9.79 per month.
Just trying to figure out if it's better deal than my existing T-Mobile postpaid plan.
Thanks
