Q: Does this come's with a sim card already?
A: Yes! When you purchase the Boost Mobile Samsung Galaxy A16 5G from Best Buy, it typically includes a pre-installed SIM card so you can get connected to our lightning-fast 5G network right away. Please visit boostmobile.com to explore our incredible unlimited plans and finish your activation!
A: Great questions! Even when you're traveling abroad, the device remains locked to the Boost Mobile network until it meets our 12-month requirement, meaning you wouldn't be able to use a local international SIM card right away. While the Galaxy A16 5G features a hybrid slot that can hold two SIMs (or one SIM and a microSD card), both slots are restricted to Boost Mobile service while the phone is locked. We’d love to help you stay connected with our great international roaming options, so be sure to check those out at boostmobile.com!
A: Just to clarify: on this deal, you own the phone outright, BUT it is locked to Boost, and you have to pay monthly for the SERVICE, for one year, before you can unlock it and move to another carrier (should you choose).
A: Am I the anyone who thinks Boost's answer obfuscates the second part of your question? I think the answer to that part is "no."
Q: What kind of plans does Boost have at present?
A: If you can read at least as well as I can, you can go to the Boost website, where ALL plans, and any variations, will be listed. It's ridiculous to ask anyone to copy and paste something you can find with ease yourself.
Q: By purchasing this phone am I committed to any specific monthly plan, i.e. $35 or $50 per month?
A: At first glance, I would have said "no," but if you read the other questions/answers, Boost seems to be requiring the $35/mo. plan subscription, since this is a NEW phone you are purchasing from them.
