How can I switch my iphone 4s to Boost from Sprint now that my contract is up?

[iMore Question]

The respective vendors say that it needs to be jailbroken to do so isn't that just to use non apple software? I understand that Sprint is the parent company of Boost or something like that.

No, it doesn't need to be jailbroken... First - deal with Sprint - you've completed your contract with them, they are now obligated by law to remove the carrier lock on your device... once that is complete - you deal with Boost... it should be as simple as giving Boost the MEID, and installing a Boost SIM for their LTE.

I thought the unlocking 'requirement' was a voluntary agreement and not a law.

And would that apply to CMDA devices/carriers such as the iPhone 4s on Sprint? I didn't think that the iPhone 4s on Sprint had LTE.
