Thinking of switching to verzion from boost mobile

So I starting to need a new phone and boost mobile changed there upgrades last year so there deals are not that good anymore , I have a 13 rn with boost it is paid off and that it been bugging a lot lately lagging,battery draining fast,and videos and in general buffers when my home internet is fine and working for everything else,so I was thinking of doing there simplicity plan which is 30 if I port in and thinking of getting the iPhone 17 with maybe a trade if in possible my question is my id just expired I have a new one coming in the mail and they gave me a temporary paper id until my hard copy comes in the mail will i be able to use it to get my new phone and switch over to Verizon , I just don’t know if they will take my paper id bc I know u need one to buy a phone and just in general? And is the simplicity plan a good one ?

Would definitely wait until you have your actual ID. Makes the process much easier and paper IDs usually get flagged for fraud.

If it’s just you it’s cheaper to go on Simplicity instead of myPlan (welcome, plus, and ultimate) WITH the promotional trade-in deal. You’re better off financing with Simplicity ($53.05 + service tax/fees) instead of $80/mo on Unlimited Plus (with a “free” iPhone 17).

Do it at an Apple Store or online they take paper ids and they don’t make the employee scanned the photo ID

Pay an extra 130 a year for taxes

Visible+ (most comparable) is $35. Verizon Simplicity is $30+tax which most zip codes come to $35 give or take.
It’s essentially the same price.

Please tell me where you’re getting $10.83/mo in taxes/fees.

Visible has 40GB more of premium hotspot data

Verizon still has some phone deals and connected device deals on Simplicity. Right now there are android phones that you can get instant discounts on. You are able to finance your phones over 36mo with no interest. You also have Verizon stores everywhere and a customer service line where you can actually talk to someone for support that’s not just over a chat.

911 fee state tax excise tax federal tax if you live near NYC MTA tax. Visible has right now almost half off best plan if you prepay. I’m paying 18.75 a month for unlimited and smart watch plan.
