Minimum Service Duration: If you buy a discounted promotional phone, you must keep the service active in good standing for a minimum of 3 months. Canceling early or switching to an unqualified plan triggers an automatic charge for the full suggested retail price minus any discount already paid.

I had a very difficult time with getting Boost to unlock a phone purchased directly from them after a year on their service. They wanted proof of purchase even though they could see my account, they wanted my full name, address and kid you not, social security number. I told them F no. I filed a complaint with FCC and three days later I get a call from some inept person reiterating my need to give personal info again. They finally emailed the unlock code for android. Apple iPhone is an auto unlock when they are notified, but I would not trust them Boost to inform them.

"Boost Mobile unlocks prepaid phones automatically one year (12 months) after initial activation"
Do these mean I can pay $169.99 for the phone, pay $60 for the 3rd month, cancel it before the 4th month, then wait 9 months for the phone to be unlocked?

Idk if boost's policies have changed, but when I bought a samsung from them they refused to let me switch to a lower plan until after 12 months. I would be cautious if you expect to use this for 3 months at $60 and then get a lower plan.
Fyi, you can switch to a lower plan for $25/month after 2 months. If not, the phone will be locked to boost. However, im still able to use my boost locked phone on att network.
