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.

We do not have to return the device in this case (disable autopay)? They will keep sending us bills, no? or ever collection agency calls
Why would you think that?

Called Boost customer service for just that. They say you cannot downgrade because you brought this device at a discounted price. SO you have to stay on the plan for 9 months
What they don't tell you is order second line $25 BYOD and cancel/port out the overpriced one and simply put $25 line sim into the discounted phone. This works on $99.99 Iphone 16e ESIM only though.

He is mistaken. They don't send bills, but secret agents in black suits and sunglasses. One day you wake up in a landfill with no limbs, and an X written on your forehead. All because you discontinued service.

At that point, why get the new cheaper line with Boost instead of another provider? Mint or Visible isn't going to notice you're using a subsidized phone and possibly mess with you down the road.

I just noticed the $25 plan doesn't even include hotspot -- a major downgrade from my 5gb plan.

Yes, it needs a UV light. But the kit that accompanies this type of protector typically has a USB powered mini UV lamp. They aren't too expensive to get from AliExpress though. The normal tempered glass will lift along the edge, but, it might be possible to use loca with that. Never really checked what would happen lol.

I got this. There could be cheaper options on AliExpress or eBay, but I didn't feel like waiting. This phone is also the Edge 40 Pro and Edge X40 internationally.
Yeah, saw that JZG branded option too and that may be a better buy as it's a 3 pack for only $0.59 more compared to the Supershieldz 2 pack. Supershieldz is a more well known brand, but maybe they're all made in the same factory anyways.

I wonder if Motorola ever released an OEM screen protector and what kind it was. They usually do for their phones, but don't see one listed on their site now.

So when ordering the extra phones (I assume you did this on the same account that you ordered the first phone for), did you only get charged a pro-rated amount for the premium service plan? Someone was saying though that they also got charged the full amount for the premium service plan when they activated extra phones. So they basically got charged twice for different amounts on the service plan on each extra phone.

You actually get prorated from the $40 plan so it comes out even cheaper. You just have to activate before the month is up, so plan accordingly

Jaggsta was mentioning before (in below post) that upon activation of the extra phones, Boost charged the full service plan amount as well. So sounds like they had to pay the pro-rated charge as well as the full service plan amount.


Quote from Jaggsta :
Yes its prorated when order the second/third line but when try activate it charges full $40 not sure why it even prorates since it still charges full amount. Even if only have week left of service on first line then account balance goes to negative if autopay is turned off then it added to next month bill. If leave Autopay on while activating it will automatically topup to fix the negative balance.

It shows up weird on the boost website. But don't pay attention to that. Basically you get prorated $40

I just wanted to get the cheapest stuff lol. The protector seems fine to me, I only needed one to install. There's a guide kit included.

This phone was sorta neglected in the US. Can't really find good cases.

i returned that one the charging port wasn't aligned properly and was blocked by a plastic mold circle from going all way in. I sanded it down but it was still pushing cable down could break charger port. The top piece latches on to the screen then slides into the case which can scratch it.

I ended up going with Poetic Guardian for $16.10 after 5% coupon it has built in screen protector

I second this. I got this case as well. It's a thicker case but with 2 included frames to choose from: one without screen protector and another with a built-in plastic screen protector. The screen protector one is great and it hugs the rounded edge screen perfectly without any adhesive.

Not sure if anyone had this experience but seeking some help. Activated the phone with the supplied SIM, but the SIM never worked. It keeps saying "No SIM" and the network is not registered and I can't even search for one. I unlocked the phone and other SIMs work. Perhaps this is a SIM issue but now I can't login or switch to eSIM because, the login attempt always sends an OTP to boost number that never worked. CS is not much helpful. wondering if anyone has any other thoughts to make this work
