Boost Adds Phones to Whitelist Months Early

January 6, 2015/Prior Staff Writers/Comments Off on Boost Adds Phones to Whitelist Months Early

When it comes to allowing phones to be activated on their prepaid networks, Sprint is something of a bully and requires that everyone wait at least a year before ‘whitelisting’ the phones. However, Prepaid Phone News reported earlier this week that Boost has added several new phones to their whitelist. Phones that were recently added to the lineup of acceptable BOYD include:
  • Samsung Galaxy S4
  • Samsung Galaxy S4 Tri-band
  • Samsung Galaxy S3 (32 GB)
  • HTC EVO 3D
  • HTC EVO 4G
  • HTC EVO Shift 4G
I’m not sure if those are the only phones to be added or exactly when they were added but from what I can gather, some of those devices (most notably the s4 Tri-band) weren’t even expected until at least February of this year. Whether this is a mistake or a case of Sprint backpedaling on their embargo in an effort to get more customers is unclear. Either way, it’s good news for consumers!
