Back-to-school shopping usually means backpacks, notebooks and dorm-room basics. But for many families, a phone plan — or a first phone — has become just as essential. 

Boost Mobile is leaning into that rite of passage with a slate of back-to-school tech deals aimed at parents looking to get their kids connected without committing to a traditional wireless contract. The carrier’s current offers include an iPhone 16e deal, a free Samsung Galaxy A16 5G promotion, discounted 5G tablets and a bring-your-own-phone plan starting at $10 per month for the first three months, then $25 Forever.
