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.

"hidden"? I got my device today, still on stock A14 and see Settings->"Network & Internet"->"SIM preferences"->eSIM ("Not configured")->"eSIM card setup" (notification)->"TAKE ME THERE"->"Connect to Wi-Fi" (not yet done)

esim settings are unhidden when your phone has not been activated/setup with boost mobile yet.

once you activate, the esim setting disappears unless you factory reset
That didn't appear to be the case.
I updated the firmware before doing anything SIM-related and found there is no option available now.
Before: U1TR34.8-30-8
Current: V1TR35H.60-33-5-2

Well that's weird...
I mentioned previously how I used "Rescue" to download "RTWO_G_V1TR35H.60_33_5_2_subsidy_DISH_WILD_regulatory_DEFAULT_cid50_CFC.xml.zip", and I manually flashed all of the partition elements and wiped everything.
I had just now installed the pSIM, am connected, and see in it's attempt to download: "The update package being downloaded is not compatible with the current software version on the device."
I already note the 'S' after "V1TR"
Welp, got some digging to do...
Ah, well that wasn't too far of a jump. I'm pretty sure it's checking the partitions to see if they've been touched, and I do use Magisk for the boot partition. No biggee.

I have been able to use the esim on the phone I got last year. I was able to activate T-Mobile's 3 month Network Pass trial. Takes a little work but eventually it downloads the esim. I also downloaded Firsty which gives some free data. Currently using Instabridge which gives 5gb a month free and that is good enough to be my only source of data paired up with Google Voice. You can definitely get an esim activated on this phone.
The Esim is NOT locked on boost firmware.

But menu for esim is hidden by default on this phone, that's all. Esim is added when a QR code is scanned.
I think it was this comment that made me think I could just add an esim without needing a carrier/network-unlock.
That ended up NOT being the case...
I can add the esim just fine using the qrcode data, but then I get:
\*****
SIM service provider unlock partition
SIM locked for operator:
Unlock
Dismiss
\*****

If you're adding a non-Boost Mobile eSIM then your device will need to be unlocked to be successfully added. eSIM isn't exempt and your phone is asking for you to enter your unlock code before the eSIM can be added.

for any case lookers i bought this case off amazon for both mine, and is only 7 bucks

https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0FGWTM...asin_title

it's a little bit on the heavier/more protective side but that's definitely how i prefer my cases anyway, thats why i bought it. fits great. also has a metal ring in the back which can be a kickstand which i also like kickstand cases. for $7 cant go wrong.

also i noticed there was a #news bloatware that comes up after the phone sleeps for a while (not the swipe left google news thing which i dont mind). it's actually just an app called #news and you can just uninstall. took me way too long to figure out how to get rid of it lol

I now have a SIM card from Verizon working in the unlocked phone.
I want to move the Verizon line to eSIM, so I can put a physical SIM from another service into the phone (I can't convert the other service to eSIM).
I tried by using the My Verizon app, running on this phone. I get to where I ask the app to move the line to another device, but it seems to be headed in the direction of sending me a seoncd SIM card. The My Verizon app asks for the IMEI number of the target device. I had tried with both IMEI1 and IMEI2 from this phone and the app took the same path. It seems the app is not taking the eSIM path (which the app does suggest exists).
Has someone succeeded in changing their Verzion line from SIM to eSIM, with this phone?

Interesting. Do you have a call recording button? I'm using a Korean SIM card and a Canadian eSIM, so my phone doesn't allow me to turn off the shutter sound, since in Korea the shutter sound is "recommended" by the government. It might be the same with call recording, but it still feels strange. In both Korea and Canada, call recording is legal.

I've been using GCam since 2019 during the rise of the Pocophone, and if you're lucky enough to be able to find a config .xml w/ preconfigured settings that's compatible w/ the version of GCam you're using, that could take the quality of your photos far.
will it work on this phone?
Well, what I can tell you is that I have it working on mine after unlocking the bootloader of the phone, swapping out the firmware for LineageOS 22 (A15) and rooting it. Not sure what the current status of your phone is, but I can only speak from my purview. This is the one I'm using: MGC_9.4.103_V11_MGC [celsoazevedo.com]

You may have to root your phone in order to enable call recording. From what I can recall, it's been that way for me since Android 7.0 (Nougat).
