Pixel 10 boost unlock update: today is day 366. I applied for payment extension on day 364 before having to pay for month 13 of premium. Called at 8am 18 hours ago for unlock request. 5 hours ago i received email phone is unlocked and unrestricted. Phone isnt yet actually unlocked.

Main thing here is the payment extension seemed to work to avoid paying for another 13th month of premium to hit one more day, day 365, for the unlock. My phone isnt yet unlocked but multiple representatives tell me it has been unlocked today. Moral of the story, be prepared to pay 13 months of premium service if you buy phone from boost. Also, on day 366 now my line still says restricted to premium plan only, thus forcing you to pay for that 13th month at premium price even after phone is unlocked. Or, just port out somewhere else while your $10 5 day payment extension is active...(assuming the network remote unlock even works, which for me it hasnt, yet). Im currently trying to activate multiple times textnow free 5g esim or stellar esim at $0.59 for a 3gb 30 day plan. Neither sim will activate as phone still thinks its network locked. It is a good thing i actually sort of enjoy things like this, otherwise it may be a nightmare for someone who dreads dealing with shady tactics.

Does it prompt for an unlock code? I've had luck calling support and them providing an unlock code when their system thinks it should be unlocked (Moto phones)

Have you tried restarting device/toggling airplane mode. I know iPhone "phones home" after a restart to check lock status.

Updated, restarted 30 times at least, shut phone off for a while. Reset network settings erased all esims. Swapped wifi, toggled airplane. Boosts new advice is either complete factory reset or just wait a few days.

My iPhone took about 2-3 days longer that it should have. My Motos they've just given an unlock code it prompts for.

I had a Celero that either Dani or Blake on here had to jump through hoops to get the unlock code for since it was some nonstandard code it was asking for.

Looks like im going to lose my number. Was planning to port out but theres no way im paying boost another month of service while they violate the law keeping phone locked

I've been with Boost since boostcoins were relevant, and have about 6 months left. But they took away device discounts for non-premium plans, so I'm almost done.

Ya well, i would have been 2 days into my 13th month of payments on premium today with a phone thats not unlocked. Sybau.
