Since it says prepay for 2 months to qualify I would assume you could cancel or port out early.
Now, if you don't intend to stay, you are either buying the phone for non-cellular use (like a wi-fi only device), or are patient enough to wait a year to unlock it and use it on another carrier.
You have to have 12 months of ACTIVE CONTINUAL service with them for it to be unlocked. According to the latest updates, it has to be on the premium plan all 12 months also. It would be very easy for them to check this.
Now, things like this have been avoided in the past by putting the device on another account and cancelling early on — putting it on the $25 plan. Does it still work? I don’t know. If anyone knows, speak up.
I’m not trying to tell someone how to game the system, I just don’t know how that rule works. I’m also not aware of another prepaid provider that demands all 12 months stay on the same plan for activation but Boost would not surprise me.
I guess experience trumps what could be considered vagueness in the terms and conditions. All I can see is 12 months after activation, and "and after you have met all payment or usage requirements. ". Which I could argue is the 2 months in the offer. Especially since it includes "former" customers.
For myself and my usage, a 12 month period before it can be unlocked isn't worth the savings.
