@DP7:
Use a computer.
Most stores do not seem to have this in stock. 🙁
Not sure it is worth a 45 minute drive.
I am in central jersey. ymmv.
the link is saying that that webpage doesn’t exist. @dan is there something wrong?
Thank you! Got one!

Most no contract phones that you can buy a plan for a month at a time which are sold at stores like best buy, walmart, target etc are just as hard to unlock as full contract phones. The providers like boost are able to sell them for so cheap, because you are basically forced to use them. I found this out when looking into unlocked smart phones. The t-mobile and at&t no contract phones cannot be unlocked for a certain amount of time. I have not verified that this is the case with boost, but I suspect that it is. If you want an unlocked smart phone, your best bet is Amazon or ebay where they sell unlocked smart phones from other countries (I actually just bought one today for $150).
I forgot to mention that I believe that trac and go phones where you pay per minute are generally unlocked.
Is there any other phone that is included?
Got second email of my order confirmation and ready for pickup date of 5/12. Thanks Dan!
Please wait to pick up your order, the store is currently closed
Hello ***,
The store you selected for pickup, BOCA RATON FL #554, is currently closed. We will send another e-mail notifying you when your order is ready for pickup.
LOL no kidding!
@Eric: No it’s a CDMA phone
None left in stores around Brooklyn!
Should this work for other phones too of just the boost mobile Samsung galaxy?
It works from a mobile browser if you search “boost samsung” once you get the error. It adds the gift card to your cart automatically. nothing in stock in the area for me. )-:
Dead!
says non in stock but will ship for free is this fine? and can this be used for Page Plus?
@hen: where u c ship for free?
@hen: see prev comment
I used the desktop site on my mobile device and got the deal without having to make an in store pickup, in other words I got the deal shipped, does it make sense dan?
anybody else know what im talkin about?
Now with free overnight shipping!
They added now a free shipping option to this phone!
Seams to be gona now.
@Joy Travel:
Thats right, I missed it with a second!
K, the gc ships free, but the rep I spoke to said they send it via email. What you can do if there are none available for pickup in your area, order it for store pickup in another area, and then call the store and tell them you arent able to pick it up, and ask them to ship it. Any items over 35 dollars ship free-andd you payed 50 for this.
@yisroel: after adding to cart ?
It is a Sprint phone working with Boost (which is owned by Sprint). So it is only good for that mobile service. Sprint does not support GSM (so I don’t think there is a SIM card, unless it is secondary to CDMA)
its a CDMA phone. wont work in Israel with sim card
If the phone is never activated, will the wifi still work to download apps?
hi any idea on how to transfer 600 phone contacts from a juno/sanyo to this phone?
Sold out online
No longer able to ship to store. Walk-in only.
@Username:
Positive. although you’ll probably need to bypass activation screen, but with Google it’s just a search away.
@david:
you’ll probably be able to send it via Bluetooth.
Basically besy buy is giving a $50 gift card on any Samsung galaxy phone even verizon or at&t phone you buy there. This was the only prepaid that was for $50 so it ends up free. There is another prepaid samsung galaxy for trackfone for $79 with the $50 g.c. its $30
what are people doing with this phone? can you download apps without activating? can you use it on verizon?
no you cant use it on verizon.
You can sell it .
You can use it as a mp3 player. Camera . wireless device over WiFi. GPS. Games .
There is also available a metro pcs Samsung galaxy exhibit for $59.99 and you get back $50 in best buy gift card
how many gig is there on the phone
Thanks dan.
Just got one delivered. Now I need to wait for thr gift card.
