10/3/2025.
Reports are that boost may may changed their T & C.
(Around 10/1/2025 . maybe, not clear)
Requiring activating phone and using service for some time.
(3 months?).
Do your research.
However, may not matter much as phone appears to be gone for good from boost website.
________________________________________________________________
You must activate the phone on boost network within 30 days of purchase.
If not you may be charged the full MSRP of the Device(s).
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
best practice=open the phone. activate the boost account. make a call or 2. send a text or 2
phone call &/or text just insures the phone number has been fully registered on the boost network
while not entirely necessary, just to be safe.
and not get a $600 bill or get sent to collections
[ which has happened to at least one user on this thread ]
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
make sure u activate.
By checking this box I agree to e-transaction/e-signature, Privacy Policy, Terms & Conditions. Once activated I authorize Boost Mobile to automatically charge my card monthly for my Boost Mobile services, taxes and surcharges. My service will not begin until my SIM is activated. If you do not activate your Device(s) on the Boost Mobile network within 30 days of purchase, you may be charged the full MSRP of the Device(s) (less your purchase price), if applicable, to the card used today or any alternative method. . I also agree to receive communications regarding this order via email, SMS, or phone call using the contact information provided
_____________________________________________________
Buying multiple phones?
Consider this.
The first phone will be 120.
Subsequent phones (either purchased at same time on withing next few days) will be less.
Boost has a weird way of billing and its often confusion. No one has figured it out yet.
Many have made speculations:
For example. Below is from a user.
My first purchase cost me $125.90 in total then subsequently thereafter I purchased 2x more phones which came out to $94.84 each.
Since you bought the first phone at regular price, Boost treats any further purchases as an additional line since they're on the same account.
However, bear in mind Boost will automatically enable autopay again so be sure to disable it prior to your next billing cycle recurring.

Btw, another data point on unlock locks. Was able to unlock my phone within 3 mins. You will need a sim from a different provider to bring up the unlock dialog. Total was $14.95.
Tried unlocking my Boost Moto Stylus 2024, but that request failed after about 10 mins and they refunded me immediately.

Almost all of them accept the imei.
if i add another phone, the charge for plan is listed as $1.29.
total is 61.28
Almost all of them accept the imei.
I thought Verizon didnt but I was doing it wrong. After using a clean browser Verizon did accept. However seems to be physical sim only they will gray out the esim option after recognizing the IMEI (keeping with that carriers dont seem to recognize this as an esim phone as esim probably isnt officially supported). The only two carriers I have IMEI checked are Verizon and Visible.
Visible does not, here is the message
"Your phone isn't compatible with our network
Device: MOTO EDGE PLUS 2023 BYOD
IMEI: blah blah
Don't worry, we have plenty you can choose from!"
Sucks for me if visible is your preferred carrier. But you can easily use the iphone workaround to get a physical sim with visible, just have to wait 3-5 days shipping.

It seems to have a working slot, but not necessarily officially supported. Depends on carrier integration I guess.
With visible i dont think so unless I dont understand something, I dont think it's possible to use esim with visible on this phone.
If another carrier has a generic process, I assume it is. Some people have used the esim in this thread. If theres something you can click to download a (generic?) esim that should work.
esim is not shown in settings fresh, maybe only after use of an esim, but by all accounts the capability is there.
just the last 2-5 pages there is informative talk about this.
unlock or lock shouldn't matter if i understand correctly.
Our community has rated this post as helpful. If you agree, why not thank samwathegreat
I just posted an alternative, cheaper, source for unlock and the post was removed. Since when does SD do stuff like that?
Anyways, I found a cheaper unlock site. The webpage is janky and I never got a confirmation email, but they take PayPal payment (so basically risk-free), and after you pay you can click "support" and "order tracking form" and enter your IMEI and email and it will give you your code within just a few minutes in my experience. Like I said, I never got a confirmation email OR a code via email and the page errored out after I made the payment, but low and behold all the info including the unlock code was right there on the "order tracking form" page under support.
The code worked fine for me.
It's only $7.90 versus the site that most on here have been using.
It's literally just "simunlock" with what usually goes on either side of that in your address bar.
Good Luck
