I was thinking of buying an iPhone 7 from Boost Mobile. I don't plan to use the phone on Boost though, since Sprint doesn't have great coverage in my area. If I buy the phone from Boost, will I be locked in and required to use it on Boost, or will it come unlocked and able to be used on any carrier? Thanks!
That is something to ask Boost to be sure. But, I believe every device they sell directly is locked to them. See their unlocking policy at https://www.boostmobile.com/#!/support/faq/phones-devices/unlocking-policy/
No.
It will be carrier locked to Boost.
Boost mobile offers unlocking, but you must maintain service with them for 12 months before they will do so.
Are Boost Mobile iPhones Unlocked?
