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.

Me, too please. Finally have a chance to setup the phone. Thanks!
@jongasse - I messaged you the model # (XT2301-1)
Can anyone confirm if they've received a 256GB or 512GB model? I'm only wondering because of the SKU indicating it's 256GB but the box does say 512.

side note: I just converted RETUS A15 flashed phone to LineageOS last night so giving that a try since I already unlocked the bootloader on that one while trying to get retail software channel configured. The process was pretty straight forward.
cheers
What makes it easy to unlock is having the algorithm for the codes or access to a database and with the user being able to tell the phone to unlock if they have the code instead of receiving a signal from the carrier telling it what to do it definitely works out. Not many of the recent phones can be and this is the last of the good ones.
hey thrifty would you mind sending me the info as well?
cheers

correct me if i am wrong. this is what i gathered
1) get it sim unlocked using non-boost sim on first startup.
2) dont sign into google and setup phone to do "oem unlock" (can wifi be connected?)
3) restart phone with boost sim in and power off phone (using power button) when boost software starts downloading to prevent boost crapware from installing?
Mine is OEM unlocked now, after the One week Motorola policy/requirement.I also just removed the Boost apps and app cloud using the method I posted above.

If the phone takes a code, it's pretty easy.
Some phones that don't use a code - like Pixels - are also very easy.
