hey guys I'm back on clean home video in
today's video we're gonna 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 cooze 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 bit 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
Cricut 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 there like I said but I know
you have to wait as well to unlock the
phone and yes guys I know there's
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 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 terma 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 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 SLE 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 gonna
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

how I saved 40 bucks on my 820 it found

I think it's still 200 and yeah it's

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 RG 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 slot unlock that is true
not all phones so if you have like a old
let's say moto e 4 that might not be
compatible to be unlocked just because
it's it it 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 Boost 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 similan
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 have 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 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 unlock 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 puk code and
they'll give you that code and then
it'll start working so I've literally
done it a couple 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 be 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 its
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 TSU compatible device be
unlocked contact us Mobile customer care
by dialing and then there's the number 1
888 boost 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 says 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 the 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

this thing for watching guys please
