• Boost Mobile is currently offering a full year of free Unlimited service with the purchase of select phones ranging from $300 to $1100. This includes flagships like the Galaxy S24, as well as a few budget offerings.
• Youll get the $25 Unlimited Plan for free, or you can upgrade to the more expensive plans and still get a $300 discount over twelve months.
• The promotion is for an unspecified limited time, so you might want to move fast if interested.

Its no secret that Dishs ambitions to become one of the big carriers havent quite panned out yet, despite its efforts to build its own 5G network while utilizing competing networks to fill in the gaps. Recently, weve seen a few moves from Dish-owned Boost designed to win over more customers, including more seamless integration between its prepaid and postpaid plans. Now, Boosts next big move is to give you an entire years service for free.

For a limited time, Boost is offering new and existing customers the chance to get the $25 Unlimited plan free for twelve months, though youll need to purchase an eligible 5G device first. This includes not only includes some of the best phones like the iPhone 15 series and Galaxy S24 series but also a few budget devices.

Heres a full breakdown of all the phones covered by this promotion, though the list could change due to availability and other factors:

• Samsung Galaxy A25 5G: $299.99
• Samsung Galaxy A35 5G: $399.99
• Samsung Galaxy S24: $799.99
• Samsung Galaxy S24 Plus: $999.99
• Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra: $1,299.99
• Apple iPhone 15: $829.99
• Apple iPhone 15 Pro: $1,099.99
• Apple iPhone 15 Pro Max: $999.99
• Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 6: $1099.99

Need better service than the base Unlimited plan can deliver? You can upgrade to the Unlimited Plus or Premium plans and still get $300 off the next twelve months. This would effectively bring these plans down to just $25 or $35 a month for the first year.

Be aware that this new promotion only applies to those who are buying the phone at full price upfront, as special promotional pricing and payment plans arent eligible for the offer. You may be able to find many of these phones for cheaper with a different Boost promotion, but youll typically save more with the free service promotion.

For example, the Galaxy A25 can be purchased for as little as $99 from Boost with a one-year commitment, but this deal wouldnt give you a year of free service, meaning the total investment would actually work out to $400. For those keeping score, thats $100 more than the price youd pay for the phone outright.

What if you decide Boost isnt right for you and want to switch carriers halfway through? Thats honestly a bit less clear.

Looking at Boosts unlock policy, the company indicates that if you buy a phone outright for use on postpaid, youll be eligible for an unlock immediately. In most cases, this will happen automatically within two days; otherwise, youll receive an email asking you to contact Boost to complete the process. For prepaid devices, Boost will unlock the phone automatically after a year. The confusion lies in the fact that Boosts $25 Unlimited plan is technically available in both prepaid and postpaid formats.

Considering youre buying the phone outright for this deal with no contract, I assume this counts as a prepaid promotion, even if you intend to switch to postpaid once the first year is over. Of course, I could be wrong.

For now, Id most recommend this plan to those who are certain that Boosts network will satisfy their needs. If it turns out you can switch services right away if youre unhappy, that takes away a bit of the risk, especially if you were already looking to buy a new phone. Weve reached out to Boost Mobile for clarification and will update this post when we hear back.

Theres also no clarity on how long this deal will last, so if youre at all interested, wed suggest moving sooner rather than later.
