    Not enough memory (only 4gb of RAM).

    This Galaxy A16 5G phone is not the same model as the unlocked version or the free boost mobile promo model. It is a subtype version in the boost mobile Samsung Galaxy A16 5G locked series family. That's probably why some reviewers couldn't transferred their data from their old devices. The Galaxy A16 5G phone only has 4gb of RAM and 128gb storage.

  • Is the phone locked to Boost even when abroad where there's no Boost service? As there are 2 SIM slots, can I use another SIM of another carrier alongside Boost?

    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!

  • for prepaid does it basically mean i will have to pay monthly for the phone? or is it already owned by me on purchase?

    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).

    Answered by luislast
  • How long do you have to be with Boost before you can get your phone unlocked and moved to another carrier (should you want to)? Also, could you use this phone with AT&T, as they are presently partners with Boost?

    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."
