hey what's up guys Tito here with the
law Android and really quick I just want
to talk to you guys about something that
you know I got a little bit curious
about so you guys may know that there's
a bunch of NVA knows that piggyback off
Sprint and not long ago Sprint basically
changed up its policies and then if
you're going to take a device that say
that they can sprint device and you want
to put it on something say like ring
plus there's gonna be certain guidelines
that you know would have to be set up
and certain things that you know fun
would have to go through in order to
pass being unlocked to go to like you
know bring plus or anything like that
now with Boost Mobile the one of the
rules behind it is that the phone has to
be activated on an account for a year
and once it's been activated on an
account for a year then you can
basically get it unlocked you can take
the device to of like ring plus or
freedompop or something like that
why does discover something pretty
interesting after talking with a rep as
I was trying to see if I can get this LG
G silo on ring plus and I've had this
device for quite some time now so I
called them to see if I was able to get
the UIC T unlock code and basically
being able to also get the device unlock
so that can be accepted to ring plus and
have it pretty much activated on there
on one of my free monthly plans with
ring plus and the interesting thing
about it is which I thought was kind of
like BS and I want to let you guys know
about this was on talking with the rep
basically what I what I got to
understand is that that whole thing
about having your device active
activated for one year that's just one
part of that they didn't even tell
anyone the other part of it which i
think is really messed up well say you
bought this phone of January 2015 that
means that January 2016 this device
should be eligible to be unlocked and
they can go and check the account to
make sure that the device is able to to
be unlocked and one of the things that
they do is they look at the history of
phones activated on your account now
recently just to make
everything was working I switched up
this phone to be my daily driver and I
switched out the same day because she
actually the rector I talked to I won't
say her name but the rep that I spoke to
she was able to bring that up she was
able to be like okay you just recently
um activated that device on July 12 and
then he switched out of that device on
July 12 yes she was unfortunately
because of that it is a lock back into
Boost Mobile and I would have to have
this phone activated for a whole year
before would be eligible to be unlocked
and I started scratching my head
something like wait a minute you know
this device is a year old to me I feel
like when it comes to unlocking device
from Boost Mobile or even virgin mobile
or sprayer it should be a year old from
the date of when it's purchased well it
was very first activated should be a
year old from there that you know
because I can understand that they don't
want people just buying phones from
boots but one activating on ring plus I
mean they're losing business that way I
mean sure the person paid one hundred
seven plus dollars for the phone but
they're not paying a monthly reoccurring
fee for a plan that you know money is
going to a different mobile service
provider so I could understand them
getting a little upset about that but
you know it it really frustrates me
because it's like that's something that
you should tell people is like the phone
has to be activated for a year and after
a year if you read if you swap it back
on to your boobs' mobile account it
starts another point for another year so
technically July 12 2017 is when this
phone would be able to be unlocked which
you know of course maybe she didn't know
what she was talking about maybe she was
wrong but that's what I'm gathering from
her and if it is that way Boost Mobile
you are really screwed that is two
things I can say that's pretty negative
about those mobile one is that they
don't allow any unlocked devices so you
can't purchase a device from like blue
you can't get like an unlock Nexus 5x or
Nexus 6p you can't get Nexus devices on
Boost Mobile that's really sad because
like a metro and on t-mobile you can get
those on there obviously
um amount ATT prepays you can get it on
there so that is a that's a huge downer
that's like yeah so you know but of
course you know it's not the lady's
fault she's just following company
guidelines so sprint boost yeah you know
you guys are screwing up on there cuz I
figure after the device is a year old is
when it should be a lot no questions
asked
I mean I paid full price for the phone
why can't I just have a unlock right now
I've had it for a year you know but
that's that's you know that's not as fun
as ridiculous so if you have a device
that you intend to probably use on a
different mobile service provider that
piggybacks off Sprint or whatever make
sure you do not swap that device back on
to your account because if you do you
pretty much are resetting it's it's time
that it that it needs to be with boost
before being unlocked so I just thought
I might drop that for you guys if you
guys enjoyed this video let me know by
dropping me a like subscribe if you have
not and you guys will see me the next
one thanks for checking out another
episode of the Chromebook vlogs and you
guys won't see me the next one
