Do we need to continue paying? What if we just don't renew it?

Here it is: https://www.boostmobile.com/conte...Policy.pdf


Devices on Postpaid Plans ("Postpaid Devices"):

If you purchase a Postpaid Device from us, we'll unlock it after you complete any financing plan.
If you purchase a Postpaid Device from us and pay for it in full, your phone will be eligible to be unlocked right away. In either case, we'll automatically unlock your Device remotely within two (2) business days after your Postpaid Device becomes eligible for unlocking, without additional fee. However, if you meet the requirements and it's not technically possible to unlock your
Postpaid Device remotely, we will instead immediately notify you that your Postpaid Device is eligible to be unlocked.


Devices on Prepaid Plans ("Prepaid Devices"):
For current and former customers in good standing and individual owners of eligible Prepaid Devices on prepaid Boost plans, we will unlock your Prepaid Device one (1) year after initial activation, after a reasonable time, and after you have met all payment or usage requirements. We will automatically unlock such Prepaid Devices remotely within two (2) business days of a Prepaid Device becoming eligible for unlocking. However, if you meet the requirements and it's not technically possible to unlock your Prepaid Device remotely, we will instead immediately notify you that your Prepaid Device is eligible to be unlocked.
With respect to Prepaid Devices, "reasonable time" and "payment or usage requirements" means:
- No Prepaid Device balance: If you have financed your Prepaid Device, the Prepaid Device
balance must be paid off in full before it is eligible for unlocking.
- Account must be active: If your account is in "suspended" status one-year post initial
activation, your Prepaid Device will not be eligible for unlocking until it is out of
"suspended" status.
- Not already unlocked: If your Prepaid Device is already unlocked because of a customer
request (i.e. unlocked for international travel), it will not be automatically unlocked at the
one-year mark.

I've been using them for two years. They have me on T-Mobile's network and I've not had any issue for $300 a year with plenty of data and hotspot.

There certain CB that offered $125 back on Boost after waiting and not checking out via direct email link. As long as it tracks this a solid online deal for trade in or good phone for kids games etc.

You can do that. I did that with with them, but they didn't unlock the phone at a year. It took me about 15 months to get it unlocked.
