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.

That's just a fancy way of saying you're screencasting which I actually prefer to do using a direct, physical connection and I have compatible cabling capable of pulling off that feature.
Way more functional than basic Screen Casting or mirroring. Also it's using a UsbC to HDMI cable to any monitor or TV. Wireless only works if you're using a PC with the Smart Connect app installed. Otherwise, then you are just Screen casting.
I actually misworded my original comment and meant to say "streamcasting" which doesn't change the intent of my original comment since Motorola's option doesn't allow for outputting the phone's display on an external monitor using a direct connection unlike my Sony Xperia 5 IV w/o the need for an app.
https://imgur.com/a/UgNiUPF One of the USB/HDMI docks I posted earlier has a charging port, or there's that Motorola ready for cable if you can find one that has a charging port.
Yes, I had been using my Pixel 9 pro XL for this, but it's a janky developer mode enabled desktop mode.
"AI Overview
No, the Motorola Edge+ 2023 does not have a built-in feature to bypass charging. While bypass charging is a desirable feature for reducing battery stress and overheating during heavy use, it's not available on Motorola devices, and the manufacturer has confirmed that this functionality is not present on the Motorola Edge line, according to Motorola Support US, as cited on the Lenovo community forums, as cited on the Lenovo website.
What You Can Do Instead
Use Optimized Charging:
The Motorola Edge+ 2023 has Optimized Charging, a feature that helps reduce battery stress by limiting charging to 80% for extended periods, though it is not the same as bypass charging. You can find it by going to Settings > Battery and enabling Optimized Charging."

Not sure how old that article is, but it's behaving exactly the same as my pixel 9 Pro XL that has bypass charging. It also stays at 80% when plugged in. Neither phone lists bypass charging in the settings.
This is GSMArena and it shows bypass charging on the Pixel 9a. It isn't listed with the Edge+ 2023.

- I just ordered the Anker 5-in-1 USB-C hub for $9.99 sale (retails $19.99) so I figure that I will use that if needed.
"AI Overviewhttps://www.amazon.com/dp/B0DKT8B..._titl
Bypass charging allows a device, particularly smartphones, to power its internal components directly from the charger, rather than sending power to the battery first. When this feature is active, the battery is neither charged nor discharged, which helps to reduce heat generation and prevent battery stress, especially during intense usage like gaming. This improves stable performance and can contribute to better long-term battery health.
How it Works
Normal Charging:
When plugged in, the power usually goes to the battery first, and then the battery provides power to the phone's components.
Bypass Charging:
With bypass charging, the power bypasses the battery and goes straight to the phone's processor, display, and other parts.
Benefits
Reduced Heat:
By not charging the battery while the phone is already running power-intensive applications, the device generates less heat.
Improved Performance:
Less heat helps prevent thermal throttling, leading to more stable and consistent performance during demanding tasks.
Longer Battery Life:
It reduces stress on the battery from continuous charging and discharging cycles, which can improve its overall lifespan.
Common Uses
Gaming:
This feature is particularly useful for mobile gaming, allowing for longer, cooler gaming sessions without the typical heat buildup from gaming and charging simultaneously.
Intensive Tasks:
Beyond gaming, it can be beneficial for other power-hungry activities like video editing or streaming while plugged in."

If you look at the photo I posted, my edge+ 2023 is plugged in and not charging. That feature may have been added in Android 15.
The Pixel 9 got Android 15 in October and Bypass charging in December.
https://imgur.com/a/UgNiUPF
"How it Works
1. Enable the 80% Limit:
Go to your Pixel's Settings > Battery > Charging optimization and select "Limit to 80%".
2. Reach 80%:
Charge your phone as usual; once it hits 80%, the device will stop charging the battery.
3. Bypass the Battery:
Instead of charging the battery to 100% or continuing to trickle charge, the phone will now draw power directly from the charger to power its components. "

Dedicated bypass charging is not available on the Motorola Edge+ (2023), even with the Android 15 update. This feature, which allows the device to draw power directly from the charger instead of the battery, is typically found on gaming-focused phones and Google Pixel devices."
Could someone post message me the website they used to unlock it for $15.
unlocklocks dot com 🙂
So I had to go to thru
gsmunlockusa DOT com
It was $5 deposit through PayPal. And the code cost $1.95.
But here we are!
Sending PM now.
@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.
My unit is 512gb.
So I had to go to thru
gsmunlockusa DOT com

that is odd.
i would guess if thrifty method failed, they would all fail.
please clarify
My recent order was one of the unsuccessful unlocks with thrifty.

Then I gave him the correct IMEI 1 again. And still unlock was unsuccessful.
Even after repeating the numbers to type them right. It was still my 1st mistake.

No disrespect to you, but are you that dense? It's not that hard to comprehend after rephrasing my statement multiple different times to explain to you what I was trying to say which is that the only "official" way to connect your Motorola edge+ 2023 to display or in this case "streamcast" on an external screen is by using the "Smart Connect" app. However, as I said before, and this will be the last time for me to explain this, I own other phones that do not need an app to support that same feature and rather, it's native to the phone itself, as in my "Sony Xperia 5 IV" is able to display natively (NOT "streamcast") to an external screen w/ a direct connection using an "Type-C to HDMI adapter" right out of the the box even during the phone's initial setup. It's not dependent on an app, it's not dependent on Wi-Fi or any other specific protocol such as Wi-Fi Connect, etc. which was the point I had been making this whole time.
Do you even own this phone?
The Smart Connect App is NOT required to display out on this phone. It just makes it Much better.
You can disable it in settings and see that for yourself.

Then it works the same as any other phone with USB 3.1 and 1.4 Display out, like my Oneplus 9 and Pixel 9 Pro XL, and whatever phones were in the two photos you posted.

A common question people have is "in which order do you unlock and activate". My answer is that it does not matter. I personally unlock my devices on first boot on the "Hi there" screen before setup and any network connection is made.
