I want this without a phone number transfer (additional line only until I cancel the plan)... Can I select yes, I will transfer during activation to keep existing phone number and then, during activation not give a number to transfer, or will this only work if I ditch my old number (I can't, it's company paid line )... Or if I select no, give me a new number, will it leave my old line alone or attempt to cancel it?
Also, hoping I can just cancel T Mobile service after 30 or 60 days and then use the phone without service or unlock and use on ATT?
You could try a Google Voice number or try picking up a cheap line from somewhere like Mint.
I believe if you order it and don't end up transferring a number over to activate it, they may try to charge you the full retail price of the phone, that's how their policy was worded on previous sales. IE, if you get the phone shipped to you and then just never activate it, they would charge you the full price.
So many confusing info on this phone 😬
Previous discussion had all spectrum of very confident people claiming that:
- not unlocable at all, just a paperweight,
- easily unlocable by the guy you can meet in WhatsApp,
- not unlocable after Aug 2023, previous versions are fine,
- unlocable, but only for regular SIM, not eSIM.
And many more. So plz plz plz, if anyone bought it in store recently or already ordered since Boost have this deal online. Share your experience 🙏
I think it becomes clear past a certain point in those threads that these phones just aren't easily unlockable anymore.

It seems like Moto stopped the unlock codes from working or obtainable so agreed that it's not easy to unlock anymore.
I remember last year I was able to unlock both the Moto Edge+ from Boost and the razr+ Spectrum for only couple bucks. Shame that we can't do this anymore.
Sorry for my ignorance, but how does this work? Do you get the phone for $200 and one month of the $40 plan (presumably using a new email and new phone number), don't allow auto pay for the $40 plan, then pop the sim from the $150 plan in and there are no further charges from Boost?
Is it a sure thing? I don't want to gamble. Thanks!
I had nothing but issues with them from day one. And if you look at previous posts on here for Boost, many said the same thing. Especially the poorly trained customer service people.
