Hey guys I'm back on clean home video in today's video, we're going to be talking about boost mobiles, unlocking policy when it comes to smartphones and using them with a different carrier. So I know I made a video about four years ago on this topic and I. Think a lot of people didn't really understand it, but this is how you unlock your Cooke mobile device to be used on a different network and, of course, there's a lot of like red flags and a lot of things. You must know about this, so I like that Boost Mobile is upfront with you. You know, like I, said we'll read into it and out I'll get to it, but they are upfront with you about their unlocking policy. So, let's get into it guys you can just Google whose mobile policy you can get here.
Let me kind of zoom in a little just so we can kind of see it better since it's a little some doubt, but it says wireless services' checklist. It says with so many choices when shopping for wireless products and services on service. We want to be sure you find the right device implant and understand the fine print so, like I said, there's always fun with printing with every carrier. Yes, every prepaid carrier, especially there is a fine print guy, so Metro has it Circuit. Has it I'm not sure if I think crickets six months and metro is six months as well two year I'm, not don't quote me on their like I said, but I know you have to wait as well to unlock the phone and yes guys I know.
There are different companies out there that stay. They can unlock your phone, but from my experience once like Apple releases, an update, a software update, sometimes it will knock that unlock off, and then you have to pay for it again, and you know from personal experience: I don't know people I've done this. Yes, it works for a while. But after that you know, I don't know, maybe they didn't do it correct or what but like I said, I've, never done it. So just you know my words there ?, you guys have wisdom.
You know so says these include a planning device checklist. You can use, while you're shopping, to find important details on plants, charge charges and coverage a term condition, so FAQ yeah, so answering questions that answer key questions such as fees and surcharges, handset insurance, trial period, but parental controls and more- and you can learn more about that. But the main thing is we're working on or talking about, the unlocking policy here. So this is domestic Simon, lock DSU refers to enabling the sim slot of your device to allow you to insert another carrier's SIM card. So if you know guys if you have an unlock iPhone or a Samsung like, let's say this- unlocked a nine plus that I have here, that's my main phone I.
Don't have to worry about waiting a month or a year, anything like that or six months or whatever. It is, because I bought the phone, unlocking yes, it's more expensive than if you would get it to prepaid or a carrier, sometimes because the in unlock phone lets you know to use it anywhere, really so versus this. If you try to pop a SIM card, let's say you have an iPhone 7 through Boost, Mobile or Metro, whatever it is, and you try to pop a SIM card from let's say Verizon or you SHE or Sprint whatever it is, it might say: that's not compatible or say that sim is not compatible and that the phone's unlock. Please contact your carrier and that's what you're going to have to do and that's where we're getting into it. So I want to thank our supporters, honey, so honey and say free web browser extension that will find you the best promo codes on popular shopping websites like Amazon, Boost, Mobile, that's by and many more get it today at join honey, calm, /, r, EF, /, Dragon start saving guys it's a free, Chrome browser extension.

If you're looking for a that's, how I saved 40 bucks on my 820, it found me a promo code and I was able to save 20% on that phone. This is one it was 200 I think it's still 200 and yeah. It's totally free. So when you make your first purchase using honey, I will get a small Commission that will help the channel. So, let's get into it.
So it says the Brennan says: sim1, locking a device will not necessarily make a device interpreted with another cares network. Additionally, sim unlocking a device may enable some functionalities of the device, but not all KG or example. A sim unlock device may support voice services, but not Data. Services won't activate on a different network note, not all devices are capable of having some slots unlock. That is true, not all phones.
So if you have like an old, let's say, Moto E 4 that might not be compatible to be unlocked just because it's it is doesn't have all that technology to be unlocked, but especially, if you have an iPhone, of course, that can be unlocked and a Samsung and thing I believe from a 7-up. You can have it unlocked at least from Boost Mobile. You know, so that's that's pretty cool that it does. Let you know that all devices are compatible says. Please no blues mobile devices, which the owner has attempted to reprogram or activate on another carriers now or otherwise alter from its initial programming or settings may not be able to reactivate with Boost Mobile.
That is true. So when I tried Boost Mobile I mean what I tried was it ultra mobile, or I can't remember unreal mobile when I tried unreal, mobile, and I popped, my sim card in there and the phone worked without activating a boost, mold service on it, then I tried going back to Boost Mobile. It said the device was not compatible. I had to contact Boost Mobile, and this is what they're talking about so be careful with that says, boost mode will only activate devices certified to work with boost mobile services. Boost Mobile cannot unlock phones from other carriers.
So if you have Boosted Mobile and you have a phone from metro or something you want to unlock it to use on boost they're not going to do it, you have to go to Metro. Ok, it says, and here we go well, here's the execrating says general eligibility for unlocking. This is the main thing we want to get it to so this booze mode will assist with unlocking device under the following circumstances. One the device is similar. Cape capable to the device has not been reported as lost or stolen otherwise flag.
That's in ineligible to be unlocked, so the phone- if you grabbed it from your friend, and he stole it from his buddy and if you're poor lost or stolen, they will not let you unlock it and then three the device has been active on the associate account for at least twelve months. This is the big thing out of everything. Well, apart from it being lost or stolen, but this is the main thing guys: Boost Mobile will let you unlock the phone as long as you've had the same phone on your account for at least twelve months. So that's a year. So if you just got your iPhone seven, and then you know you have it on your account this whole time after twelve months or a year, you can get it unlock.
The Boost Mobile I've actually had done this for customers, guys and yes. I know it works I've done personally. So don't things like? Oh there's, just some gibberish. No, it actually works a lot of times. A lot of people will either like to break their phone, get a new phone or something where they'll swap the phone within a year, and then you cannot get that phone unlocks.
So remember the phone has to be active on your account for at least twelve months. If you've done that, if you kept your phone working for at least one year, you can get it unlocked. So this is compatible. It's not lost stolen. So that's the big thing.
Like I said you will have to call Boost Mobile, and then you'll tell them hey I want to lock my phone, so I can use it with another carrier. Sorry about that, so I can use it with another carrier. That's me real specific, sometimes Boost Mobile doesn't really understand what you're talking about just be like: hey I want to use this phone with I, don't know like I said Verizon or whatever I've had my iPhone, whatever 7-4 for over a year or a year, and they will look into it, they'll. You know, you'll give them the meid or IMEI of the phone, or does your account to look it up me like yes, you've had it for a year, and then they'll guide you through it once you pop a SIM card in there from different carriers, sometimes it'll say put in the UK code, and they'll give you that code, and then it'll start working. So I've literally done it a couple of times now so mainly with iPhones I haven't tried it with the Samsung I.
Don't have customers that come in here trying to unlock their Samsung? You know says the associate account is active and in good standing. So as long as your bills, pay for and everything and your account is active. That's another thing. A lot of people think oh I had this iPhone in my drawer for over two years, it's good to be unlocked to know it had been active on the Associated count for at least one year and your account has still be active and in good standing. So as long as like, let's say you have this, this iPhone 7 right here, I've always had it I've had it.
Let's say going on two years, and I'll do, so I'll just call blue smoke be like hey I've had this phone for over a year, it's been on my line, I've, never replaced it or have it. You know, do an insurance claim or anything like that they will It's eligible to be unlocked, and they don't lock it for you can use it with any other carrier. Then the last thing says: if you believe you meet the above requirements and would like to request that your TSU compatible device be unlocked, contact us Mobile, customer care by dialing and then there's the number 1 888 boosts for you, which basically just outputs more customers. So if you have a problem on a dial from a friend's phone, you know just blues most customer service, they'll guide you how to unlock your phone now. One thing is, they will do an unlock for the military personnel.
That's pretty cool, so Boost Mobile greatly appreciates the service that our US military men and women provide at home and abroad says for military personnel deployment. Overseas booze has established a favorable unlocking policy as following. This policy was not there. When I was at when I first, you know was unlocking phones for people say the devices could pay compatible of international similar, mainly gonna, be probably an iPhone. The subscriber is an active member of the branch, the United States military, as well as family members, who are the same account as deployed personnel.
The subscriber has been issued overseas deployment papers. The person requesting to unlock is a current author I thought to Kate. It authenticated Boost Mobile customer. The account is in good standing and each phone number is allowed up to two unlocked devices within a 12-month period. So if you have your deployment papers and all that stuff guys, you can get it unlocked, you know because you're getting deployed, and they'll, let you take your phone overseas.
So that's pretty cool bug, Sarah. That is about it guys. Hopefully it wasn't either boy. Hopefully, I did a good job of describing this thing for watching guys. Please, contrary subscribe, believe this was informative.
