I'm new to Android and to Samsung phones, so please pardon my noob question. Has anyone been able to use a Samsung Galaxy Note 5 on Boost Mobile? Doesn't seem possible, but I thought I would ask. After phoning Boost and Sprint, I can't get a clear answer..Thanks

Welcome to the site! :)

Boost Mobile has a list of some Sprint phones that you can BYOD:
https://www.boostmobile.com/#!/support/faq/phones-devices/activate-a-sprint-phone/

That has the Note 2, 3, and 4, but not the Note 5.

Boost also allows some non Sprint phones to be activated:
https://www.boostmobile.com/#!/support/faq/phones-devices/bring-your-device/

Unfortunately that also doesn't list the Note 5.

It might be possible they add it in the future, but for now the answer looks like no.


Thanks for the links ! I've gotten conflicting info about the Note 5, I called Sprint Customer service and they said that if it was a sprint phone and the phone was unlocked, it would work. An employee at a Boost store could not give me a definitive answer and there isn't much on youtube about the subject.
