Exclusive: Fairphone Lands Its First US Carrier Partner in Boost Mobile
Fairphone has secured its first US carrier partnership, with Boost Mobile, after beginning US sales this summer. The deal makes its repairable Gen. 6+ easier to use with a mobile plan, though it is not sold through Boost’s shops or online store.
Customers must buy the $650 phone from Fairphone or Amazon, then activate it with Boost; Fairphone’s site will offer Boost plans and send an eSIM activation email. The Gen. 6+ works on AT&T or T-Mobile networks and has 12 replaceable components, with spare batteries costing $40 and displays $90. Fairphone says phone sales rose 74 per cent in the first half of 2026, despite a broader market downturn.
In short
- Fairphone partners with Boost Mobile, its first US carrier.
- The $650 Gen. 6+ must be bought separately and activated with Boost.
- Owners can replace 12 parts, including the battery and screen.
