Android Central Question

I was given an older Samsung Prevail SPH-M820 and have been thinking of using it as a cheap back up phone, hoping to buy some minutes for it and keep it as a spare. I called Boost and they insisted it couldn't be done, and besides, they don't offer 'minutes' to be bought anymore, they want to sell you a monthly plan. Not what I'm interested in on a cheap, old phone.

So, for a newbie who knows little about unlocking, jailbreaking or rooting, my question is this: Can this phone be unlocked from Boost's software so I can go buy a SIM card from someone else and keep some minutes on it. If not, no loss, just thought it'd be a nice idea to keep a spare with some talk time on it.

Thanks
