Yes, 1 year required on boost.
I dont know if any ebay unlockers have codes for the boost moto edge 2023...
If anyone has had success with ebay unlocker (or others) for boost edge+ 2023 , let us know.

ebay purged a lot of those sellers. You might need to look for their own websites as there are some that still exists.

If this can be unlocked easily like the 2022 model, this is a great deal. Otherwise, 12 month unlock criteria is cancerous nowadays.

I used a site, not ebay, to get the unlock code for this model and worked, search for Motorola unlock code. I believe this is the last model launched by Boost that supports this, all their models after this won't support the Motorola generic unlock code. Obviously do it at your own risk.

Hell nah!! This is the edge plus 2023. It's faster and quicker than my s24 ultra and 15 pro max. I locked the refresh at 165hz too.

this phone is absolutely sick for emulation... it will run everything no problem. AetherPSX2, Dolphin, etc. 3x and up resolution. For $240 its worth it as the Odin 2 Max and Pro is way over $300. Get a Backbone controller or a Gamesir and go nuts. Not to mention it can probably be bootloader unlock and root for PoGo insanity.

Not really. They just changed the name. The 2024 model that's comparable is the edge 50 ultra.

Quote from Attention :
It's $599 on Motorola's website. If you want to spend an extra $360, go for it. At this price, it is a steal, even if you're paying $40 for the first month.
I think you must have missed where they said "unlocked". If you're fine paying Boost $40/month - which is outrageous for an MVNO - then I guess "steal" at $680 (plus taxes and fees) for 12 months of service and the phone is very subjective.

The majority of people looking at this deal are going to want to take the phone somewhere else after the first month, and aren't sure if it will work with other carriers. Personally, I'm too nervous about getting stuck with Boost at that price for what is deprioritized service and a mid-tier phone (especially since the camera is "meh" and I care far more about a good camera than I do gaming on a phone).

I believe you no doubt. You seem quite passionate. But unfortunately I don't think 90% of the people know what you're talking about including me

Quote from Kryspie :
because its curved/edge screen no case will protect it from face drops, unlike flat screen and case with raised edges
In all my years of smartphone ownership, I only just now broke a screen on the phone. Pixel 7 Pro fell all of 2 feet and landed on a relatively smooth parking lot surface in such a way that the unprotected curved part of the screen cracked in two places, rendering it completely unusable. It's a paperweight now.

I didn't particularly like the curved screen before, but now it's a hard pass. It's a straight-up gimmick that increases both the cost and chance for breakage from what would otherwise be a minor drop. I doubt Google gives a crap one way or another - when has Google ever appeared to listen to consumers? - but the Pixel 8 has a flat screen and that alone makes it an upgrade to the 7.

The argument I've seen in support of curved screens is that gesture navigation is easier. While I agree - I use gesture navigation myself - I'm currently using my backup Pixel 3 with a nice case and it's not that big a deal.

For anyone that is going to purchase one, remember that Boost doesn't allow you to remove autopay easily. You can't do it from your account.

If you pay through PayPal, you can login and deactivate it from subscriptions.
If you pay through CC, you need to use a burner card since they won't let you remove your default card or contact CS and ask them to disable autopay.

I don't know if you can still ask CS to disable it. Things might have changed.
