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.

Given it's been 3 months since the original deal was posted, it would be greatly appreciated if anyone who did not port out and "let the plan die" can confirm that their on-file credit card was not charged for the second month.
Just wanted to get additional anecdotes due to some billing complaints on Boost Mobile's Reddit.
Thanks!
+1 to that. Can anyone share some anecdote about what happened after 30 days ? Should we port out to completely cancel the line
I googled "Boost Motorola Edge+ 2023 billing complaints Reddit" and couldn't find anything.
This is a 2 year old phone. Might be better to pay $40 more for iPhone 16e
Shame. Shame. Shame.

Why not just turn off auto pay on the boost app? If it is OFF, it won't automatically pay. I have never had any company later charge me with an autopay off. If it is toggled ON, it will simply automatically pay. If payment isn't received on time, service will simply be turned off (phone number will probably be held for 1 months). It is a prepaid service. Another poster talking about collection agency? This is for prepaid phone and prepaid service. I would assume collection agency is aimed more for postpaid phone and service as a customer gets phone and service and fails to pay for them. Boost is rightfully owed lot of money from bad customer.

the iPhone will have a much greater value now or in the future. Same with an iPhone 13 or 14 with full Apple support as bonus.

Android is far more versatile. You forget they are entirely different platforms, and many of us have paid apps on one platform already.
also laughable 128gb storage

Who cares, no one buys phones as serious investments. That's why actual investment vehicles exist, like real estate, equities, gold/silver, etc. owning those allow people to buy any phone they want. In 4 years I can just buy whatever I want, and recycle/donate this.

I have never bought Iphone before. Why? Because I believe it is overvalued.

Lineage OS on this phone is so serene!
Yup! There's a test version of Android 16 for this phone, but I'm sticking with LOS 22. Just need to setup Magisk to hide root and RCS will work like stock.
