Better than the $150 plan-only deal we have seen previously because $10 more gets you a usable phone. Phone has to be activated on Boost. After activation, Boost does not care what phone is used with this $150 plan. The Moto G Stylus 5G 2023 will unlock if your account is still active one year after phone activation.
Expect a T-Mobile sim. Buy a $10 At&t sim from Ebay if that network is preferred.
At the bottom of the page, they ask: Do you want to keep your existing phone number? ALWAYS select: "Yes. I will transfer it during activation." even if you want a new number.
Wiki from a previous deal that answers most questions should you not be familiar with Boost Mobile.

Somebody previously asked Boost about unlocking a phone early since they paid for 1 year of service. Boost subsequently declined that request. No harm asking them again though.
For the $160 price which includes 1 year of service & a phone, the choices are either: the Motorola G Stylus 5G 2023, or the house brand Boost Celero 5G (non plus) 2024 made by Tinno.

Yes, because it said that only for the weekend. That was why I ordered it today.
about 2 months ago they had 1 year service for $150...and another time a few months before that. not sure how often the service/phone combo deal comes around.
i've only back on here regularly since about february and this is the only time i've seen it with the phone

I called customer service about this and they said that I have 60 days only to register or activate my account with this phone, otherwise they will charge the full amount of the phone or the service.
Only thing is it has a curved screen so I'm probably going to have to use it without a screen protector. I suppose at this price it doesn't really matter much.
To the question about whether the Boost phone can be activated without opening box, I do not know the answer.
Usually to activate a Boost phone, a user will just insert the sim with Boost service into the new device. The Boost system will recognize the insertion so that both the phone model and IMEI can then seen within the BoostOne app.
Perhaps this link might help???

Should you find somewhere on the website to input the IMEI of the phone, check the BoostOne app and see if the device is listed. As I said, I am not sure if Boost would consider inputting the IMEI on their website as activating the phone. In addition, Boost emails you whenever there is a sim swap.

I am thinking of returning this kit. Do they issue refunds easily?
User must then within that timeframe call 833-50-BOOST and obtain a Return Authorization Number. User pays for shipping and mails the package to:
Ingram Micro Inc / Boost Mobile
1451 AllPoints Court Suite 2
Plainfield, IN 46168

Should you decide to keep everything: as an alternative to Ebay, you could try selling the phone locally. Just put in your listing that you bought the phone for a family member, used it once but person did not like the brand, size, feel, or for whatever reason. I am sure you can get more than $10 for the device. Boost is a brand sold in-store at places like Target and Walmart, so there should be at least be a few people interested in the phone even if the item has been used one time for activation purposes.
After 9 months of service, Boost gives users an opportunity to upgrade their phone by allowing them to buy 1 phone at new user pricing. So come February 2025, you will be able to buy another device that hopefully is priced attractively enough that it can be resold.

Why are you returning if you don't mind me asking? I missed out.
Edit....saw your previous post. You want the service but not the phone right?
