Boost stores charge random fees and won't provide a detailed invoice.
I ended up paying $180 for the phone + $65 for the plan.
You can't change your plan once you sign up.
The phone only unlocks after 12 months of active service.
The network coverage is terrible.
It's a trap, not a deal. Be careful!

With 17 base at 256GB for the same $800, 16 and 16e need to go down in price. Typical $100 less for one generation older doesn't cut it here as you get half the storage. Also 16e price has stayed at $600 even after 17 launch. There should be better promos around the holidays, hopefully. 🤞🏼
Unless you are in need for one now, wait for an online promotion from Total than in-store.
Having purchased two 2024 Moto Edge last year and two 2025 Moto Stylus this year from Total - all port promos, their online experience is decent. For phones marked free, I have paid only taxes on the service for online orders with Total and no activation fees, etc. Yet another reason to avoid in-store.
No dealer is going to 'guarantee' an unlock. They will assure you that if you meticulously follow the rules and requirements for unlocking, it will unlock. Total is very good about following and complying with their written unlocking policy, and you can follow up with an FCC or BBB complaint if it doesn't happen despite meeting all the meticulously followed rules and requirements for unlocking-- in which case a senior Total agent will make sure it unlocks.
