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?
Answered by Boost MobileGreat 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?
Answered by luislastJust 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).
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?
Answered by luislastAm I the anyone who thinks Boost's answer obfuscates the second part of your question? I think the answer to that part is "no."
