Deal Details
Boost Mobile [boostmobile.com] has 512GB Motorola edge+ 2023 Smartphone (Boost Mobile Locked, Black) on sale for $59.99 + $60 1-Month Unlimited Talk/Text/Data Service = $119.99. Shipping is free.

This phone is now back in stock at Boost. It's a steal at this price still has better specs than most phones out there especially with 512gb of storage. I bought one on last years deal and was able to unlock it via one of the unlockers who were kicked off of eBay. Many didn't have the unlock codes yet back then but would assume their available now. YMMV. I currently use mine with Instabridge esim for 5gb of free data a month. Just bought another for my wife.

Note, on product page select "I don't want protection" or Boost Protect will be added to cart at $12/month.

Specs (source [motorola.com]):
Processor: Qualcomm SM8550-AB Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 (4 nm)
Display: 6.7" 1080x2400 165Hz pOLED
RAM: 8GB LPDDR5X
Storage: 512GB
Operating system: Android 13

Edge 2025 is downgraded to Dimensity 7400 from 2024 snapdragon 7s gen 2 i would only get it to sell and offset cost of this Edge+ 2023

Sellcell shows T-Mobile variant which is IMEI metro sells brand new sealed online phone shop is paying $195 and "Other Carrier" $165 sealed so can make $100+ easily.
issues with calling the metro device a tmobile device?
have u done that before?


if sellcell sell to a TM customer, more than likely it will not work , as it will be locked to Metro.

It seems you can flash retail fw or retus to unlock the esim function, with some problems
BUT, on the latest post, it seems even though there is no esim option in the setting, you can still use the esim function

https://xdaforums.com/t/e-sim-sup...625/page-4
appears someone flashed it using Motorola rescue tool with locked bootloader you can download the RETUS firmware from lolinet

https://www.reddit.com/r/motorola..._a_locked/

edge+ 2023 is codename rtwo

https://mirrors.lolinet.com/firmw.../official/

Consumer cellular even has android 15 on this already but not boost.

curved screen are the worse....no screen protector, touch's on edge sometimes do not register properly ...etc etc

I see they have the iphone 15 for $199 if purchased with $40 premium unlimited plan (second line). any way to unlock that thing without waiting a year? daughter says to start looking for a replacement for her 12 pro.

Autopay is on by default had to setup the boost account (with email you ordered with) to disable it. Also can't remove current payment card unless replace it with another.

Port Lock is enabled by default have call support to disable it if plan to use number before it expires to get another discounted phone from Total/Metro
Thanks for expanding on the Auto Pay situation.

Wondering if they attempt to charge the card after 30 days even if you disable Auto Pay.

doesn't appear so once disable it but you can port the number out to cancel the line. Bill went from $61 to $66 shows $1.25 in taxes for next month no $5 autopay discount taxes not included on $65 plan is crazy.


can also try Boost Mobile 30-day money-back guarantee on their Service for new customers your first monthly plan charge amount will be refunded to the payment method on file for your account (Device returns are handled separately, if applicable) it says

https://help.boostmobile.com/docs...ntee-terms

Under Payment history it shows 2 transactions one is for phone and one is for the service plan so appears you could get 30-day money-back guarantee for service plan and keep the phone for $60

I wonder if that means no more updates now or you just have to keep flashing full releases for updates.

Super easy, just download the firmware and extract it to the rom folder of Smart Assistant and flash. Note it will wipe your phone

The Esim is NOT locked on boost firmware.

But menu for esim is hidden by default on this phone, that's all. Esim is added when a QR code is scanned.
Some carriers want ESIM EID can dial *#06# shows all the sim information hidden on the phone.

Hi All, I was able to buy the Motorola Edge+ 2023 and received it.
Activated and it works fine.
What should I do next to stop/cancel the line with boost?
I don't need to unlock the phone I just need it for wifi.
When and what are the next steps?
