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.

Our community has rated this post as helpful. If you agree, why not thank shortyman24
EDIT: right now, we only have the information from the quoted post, as well as Thrifty's email from collections for his line that had problems with the original activation.
email was this
"Restore Your Service
Hi shortyman24,
We weren't able to process your payment and, unfortunately, your service has been suspended. We understand things like this happen and we're here to help."

Edit: Here is one place to start. Link to the GCAM is there, enable HDR enhanced in settings. If you use Night sight not perfect. Slow mo not recommended. Aside from that worth a try. https://www.reddit.com/r/GCamPort/s/Z77mnrg2WE

There is suppose to be a GCAM (Google camera) to use with this phone that improves the photos, not sure which one though. Maybe someone can make recommendations. Not sure if there are improvements after updating to Android 15 to the stock camera.

The Motorola Edge+ 2023 camera beat out some great cameras like on the Pixel 6, Samsung Galaxy S23 FE, Apple iPhone 12 Pro, OnePlus 11, etc. The camera phones that just beat out the Motorola Edge+ 2023 (130 score) are the Apple iPhone 14, Samsung Galaxy S23 and Google Pixel 7a as they had a 133 score.
I always trust DXOmark test reviews for phone cameras and trust rtings for headphones/earbuds test reviews.

If you have any games or apps which have sluggish performance or choppy graphics go into developer options and enable the standard graphic driver for that specific app
