I don't normally write reviews but I was shopping around for cell phone service, dealt with a lot of customer service from large carriers had some horrible experiences but decided to try Boost Mobile. I called boost Mobile to activate my new phone that I purchased which was one of their prepaid very good phone and a cheap price. I have to say you don't receive customer service like this anymore. The two gentlemen that help me the initial one who took the information and the other who activated the phone couldn't have been more pleasant, couldn't have been more helpful, more clear on instructions. It was unbelievable. You just don't see this kind of service anymore.
I have to say as well that I've only used the service for several days now but I have full bars everywhere, no drop calls, speed is excellent and I'm on their cheap $25 for Life plan. How in the world can you beat that? Don't know what else to say other than if you're thinking about switching I will check out Boost Mobile. No complaints here so far.

I went to Boost Mobile last night right before close in a dire need for a new phone. Bridget was amazing and extremely helpful. She helped me with customer service and even stay after the store was closed to get me that phone. Thank you so much and I really appreciate this. I am truly glad that the customer service excellent.

I want to express my gratitude to this young man, Eduardo A., from Boost Mobile, who helped me to find the best plan for my smartphone needs. And with his patience, showing the best customer service today, it seems that other places are locked out of it. Eduardo A., you are top-notch. Thank you.

I have been a customer for over 10 years. I always had the cheapest plan. Talk and text basic. Do love space for pics though. I recently had a problem with Google Messages. A lot of my messages were disappearing. Group messages were splitting into 2 groups. One with all photos and one with text. Eventually all my pics were gone. I did some research and found out it was an app problem. I knew it was about time for a new phone so I bought one. Just a Galaxy A16, nothing fancy. I thought I knew what I was doing by activating and switching it all over myself.
Well after half a day freaking out because it was not connecting and my old phone disconnected already I decided to call Boost. I did get transferred a couple times (technical, couldn't text me so then confirmation area, then another technical type thing) but in the end a lady named Azalea saved the day. Well it turns out the new phones do not use physical sim cards and I had my old one in. My bad, but she walked me through it and did a GREAT JOB. Had it fixed really quick. Everyone else I spoke to was really nice too but she was the one who fixed my problem.

We are forced to stay with Boost Mobile because of the fact that even though our phones are paid off every month is paid we got different phones so then we have to start all the way back because they require a 14 months have your phone in the plan so therefore we can't even though we have no service to our house we still cannot go to a different company.

Do not use Boost Mobile. I was in the USA for a month last year and purchased a chip from Target for what I thought was a one month unlimited plan. After returning home, I found out they signed me up for auto pay and had been charging my card $60 each month for 10 months even though the offer was for one month. I tried to get on the app and couldn’t sign in without my phone number (which I didn’t know because I only used it for a month on the trip). When I called customer service, it took 20 minutes to verify my identity and then they refused to reimburse me for the auto pay even though they couldn’t tell me how I actually enrolled in it. With all the service providers out there, I would highly recommend going with a company that doesn’t do shady things like this- especially if you’re looking for a short term offer. STAY AWAY!

I'm angry at Boost Mobile because I've been a customer for almost 12 years. But as of last November my rates have gone up over $86. For the same plan that I've always had. Then they had to get rid of the grandfather plan but they do it in such a sneaky way. I went in to get a phone because mine was ruined and I was due for an upgrade. After I left the store my bill went up by $60 but I had already paid off the phone in the store. Just a little cheap LG phone. Again this weekend went up 16 because my daughter went in to get an upgrade with her iPhone. I'm irritated with Boost because it was really sneaky what they did with my first phone in November. So now I pay almost double what I've been paying for almost 12 years! And their service is awful in certain places.

This company sucks and everything about it. All they do is lie and lie and lie. I was sold a phone for a promotional price, but did not know I was being welcome to death row.. I hate this company. I hate the service. I hate everything about it. It’s so sad that we don’t have Other Phone 📱 companies to choose from except for the garbage that they have to give us. Do not waste your money on this company. Do not waste your breath on these people. They will run your blood pressure up.

After my first post or review no issue was resolved. Everyone of the five agents gave me a totally different explanation of the cause of problem but it was never resolve. They couldn't fix it. This is a new phone because I lost my previous one. I went to USA to get the phone exactly on April 16, 2026. My number with them is around 10 years. Tried to downgrade because since I couldn't use the wifi, so I will only use it to call my mom. They couldn't figure out why my phone can't connect to any internet. The new story was I couldn't downgrade because the new phone was discounted. News to me. I just bought a phone. Never was explained to me that is was discounted, never explain the implications or limitations of a new phone. This is just simple fraud to the people, corporate greed and we need to stop it. I'm an elderly person so they take advantage of us. SHAME.

If you like paying for services you'll never get come to Boost mobile. I've used boost for a long time now and it used to be good but the 6 years or so it's been going downhill fast. Lately I've had little to no data and the Hotspot uses a ridiculous amount of data like 5 gbs to watch a 6 min YouTube video and the customer service will just sent you around in circles and the just blame you and tell you that you don't know how to use your phone. All in all don't use boost. A carrier pigeon would be better option.

I’m new customer with Boost Mobile. While setting up my account I spoke with a customer representative who was professional and helpful. Today, I am trying to add another phone and have been hung up on by three representatives before I can say hello. Finally spoke to a representative and was told to go to a store. I had been speaking with a representative a couple days before and she told me to gather some information and then call customer service so the account could be completed. I found the group working tonight to be rude and unprofessional.

Absolute worst cell service, period. I live within a 5G coverage area, doesn't matter. In the middle of the city, doesn't matter. Traveling the interstate, doesn't matter. No, it's not my phone. Same phone has had perfect coverage with different companies. Even when showing a full bar 5G signal, no service, Emergency calls only, Not registered to a network. Customer service??? Good luck. Can not understand more than a few words of what they're saying. Also, how am I even supposed to contact the customer service (that can't be understood), when I can't even make a call. Yes, it's a good price. Who cares. My phone is slightly better than a damn paperweight.

I will not ever buy another phone from Boost Mobile again. It running 🏃♀️ hot and dropping call and with insurance they would not replace my phone. Boost Mobile and Samsung products are not good. I will be transferring to another provider with a better phone soon. It was a total inconvenience for me. Oh well, just lost another customer.

I would strongly caution others before doing business with Boost Mobile based on my recent experience. I originally purchased a phone through a Boost Mobile store, but the device frequently lost service and would switch to "Emergency Calls Only" despite showing a strong 5G signal. Believing the issue might be with the phone itself, I chose to spend additional money and purchase a replacement phone directly through Boost Mobile. Unfortunately, the replacement phone never arrived. Boost Mobile shipped the package through UPS, and it was routed to a UPS facility in another state, where it was ultimately lost in transit. The tracking information stopped updating, and the package has not resurfaced.
What has been most frustrating is the lack of resolution. Although I purchased the phone from Boost Mobile, I was told that UPS is responsible for resolving the issue and that Boost Mobile would not provide a replacement device or refund while the investigation is ongoing. UPS has advised that investigations into lost packages can take up to 90 days. As a customer, I find this unacceptable. My purchase agreement was with Boost Mobile, not UPS. The carrier was selected by Boost Mobile, not by me. Yet I am being left without the phone I paid for while waiting months for a shipping investigation to conclude.
To make matters worse, I have now gone more than three weeks without a usable phone. I have continued paying for wireless service while being unable to fully use that service due to the issues with the original device and the missing replacement phone. During this process, no service credit, temporary solution, replacement device, or other accommodation has been offered. I have made reasonable requests, including:• A refund for the phone I paid for but never received.• A replacement phone.• The option to cancel the shipment and pick up a replacement device at a local Boost Mobile store.
All of these requests were denied. Consumers should know that under general customer service standards, when a product purchased from a retailer is lost before delivery, customers typically expect the seller to assist in resolving the issue, provide a replacement, or issue a refund while pursuing the claim with the shipping carrier. Unfortunately, that has not been my experience.
After spending additional money to remain a customer, I am still without the phone I paid for and without a satisfactory resolution. All I want is either the device I purchased or a refund. I do not believe that is an unreasonable request. Based on my experience, Boost Mobile has shown very little concern for customer satisfaction or accountability when problems arise.

I have been with Boost Mobile for years, never had my service disconnected for non payment but here we are and I'm having all kinds of issues with my bill... When I contacted customer service I got nowhere. I told her that when I purchased the phone at the local Boost Mobile retail store that I was given another price, she proceeded to tell me that they are trying to figure out a resolution of why the retailer is offering the services for a different price.. So they will just continue to overcharge me and take my money and anyone else going through this till they figure it out. She offered to return the 20 increase in my bill this month like a credit but next month I will be charged the 20 and the months after..
Boost stores have the name Boost. They sell the merch and are all together but apparently they don't work together cause the retailer can say and sell you whatever and Boost mobile can change the charge. I spoke with Wendy, she was like a lead or something. She told me I couldn't go any higher that there was no one else I could speak with so there it is. So now I'm stuck here with Boost till my phones can be unlocked and I can move my service!!! This experience is just unbelievable so since there is no one else besides Wendy... I'm going to let you know before you make the same mistake

I am not now nor will I ever be a Boost Mobile customer. Last month somebody created what I assume is a fake Boost Mobile account and used my email address when they signed up. I called customer support and explained the situation to them and asked them to close the account or at the very least remove my email address from the account. After placing me on hold the rep came back and told me to email the Usage team and gave me their email address. I emailed them on May 8th (the same day I called customer service) explaining that the CS rep I spoke to on the phone gave me this address to send my request to. They responded the very same day and simply said "please contact customer service today at 1-833-502-6678 for assistance".
After looking at my phone's outgoing history I see that the number they provided is the same number I originally called, so I replied back and explained that to them and said I don't feel like getting caught in a loop and that I just want my email address removed from this fake account. The initial reply from the usage team on May 8th is the ONLY reply I have gotten from them to date (June 1st) even though I have sent 3 follow-up messages since then asking for updates. I never signed up for their service nor did I provide consent to receive emails from them yet I continue to get both marketing and account usage emails daily. I don't know what else to do other than looking into what my legal options are. Maybe I can open a small claims case against them.

Boost Mobile is a very negative iPhone company who doesn't appreciate loyal customers and they have been contacting me twice to stress me out. They need to focus on being professional, making loyal customers happy, and stop stressing loyal customers for any reason. I remember in 2016 Boost Mobile was very professional and nice. I don't know what happen to Boost Mobile but they need to be careful how they treat loyal customers. A successful business is not always base on how much money you make but how you treat your customers.

After over 20 years with Boost Mobile I've changed providers. Originally it was virgin mobile then boost bought them out. I had a $50 dollar plan with unlimited everything. Recently they sent me a text saying my data was running out. When I called customer service for boost and told them I had unlimited everything they didn't want to hear it. The boost representative was very unhelpful. When I told him I was changing providers he said go ahead. Very unprofessional. I switched and have a better plan for less money. Goodbye boost , maybe you should have an overview of your customer service guidelines because they're horrible.

About a few months ago, my internet service (wifi) was cut off on my phone, even though I did not owe any money. Somehow, the phone went from Boost wifi to LTE and it stays on, but I cannot access the internet using the phone. I can only use the phone and text, I called Boost 5 times and even went in. They lied and told me they would fix the problem or that the problem was resolved when it was not. Over and over I am getting the run around from March through May 2026. I got some kind of port lock out message claiming I tried to switch service, when I did not. It is the worse service in the world, and the agents tells flat out lies.

I was a long-term Virgin Mobile customer that got stuck with Boost Mobile when Virgin exited the U.S. market and gave my account over to them in Feb 2020. Initially I didn't have any issues as service has been reliable and I was on autopay. It wasn't until their Customer Service attempted to contact me to try to upsell me that I took a closer look at my Boost Mobile account and discovered that they automatically "upgraded" me from the $25/mo account to a $35/mo account with "Dish TV" service added and then added another $5/mo for a third-party add-on service called "Unlimited Gamez", all without my permission or authorization.
I removed the add-on and upon "downgrading" my service back to what it was before the "Dish TV" for an additional $10/mo and the add-on for "Unlimited Gamez" for an additional $5/mo the "Unlimited Gamez" was automatically added back on! Then, the $25/mo plan was automatically updated back to the $35/mo plan! There is no way to escape this add-on or "upgraded" service that they have been fraudulently been billing me for an additional $15/mo for several years! At best their Billing is a scam.

Boost Mobile was an absolute nightmare to deal with, and the entire experience felt shady, obstructive, and intentionally designed to waste customers’ time. I signed up to try the service, but the reception in my office was poor, so I decided to cancel and port my number out. That should have been a routine request. Instead, when I called customer service to get my port-out PIN, the agent would not just do his job. He kept trying to pressure me to stay by pushing other deals, even after I clearly said I was not interested. It took 35 minutes just to get a simple port-out PIN. That is ridiculous. On top of that, the agent was rude, unprofessional, and unpleasant to deal with.
After I ported out, I went on Boost Mobile’s website to turn off auto-pay so I would not get charged again. The website made it look like auto-pay was disabled, but then the toggle would switch itself back on literally one second later. In other words, the website function did not actually work. I had to call customer service again and spend another 30 minutes trying to get help with something that should have taken seconds online.
Then I asked for the 30-day money-back guarantee refund. Instead of handling it properly, I got transferred to another department, where the next agent told me I had to enroll back in auto-pay in order to get my refund. That is beyond absurd. Why would I re-enable auto-pay after already fighting to turn it off, especially when I was trying to avoid being charged again? At that point, I gave up on the refund because I did not trust this company enough to risk another billing problem.
This was not just bad customer service. It felt like a deliberate pattern of stalling, retention pressure, broken website functionality, and refund roadblocks. When a company makes it this hard to leave, this hard to stop billing, and this hard to claim a so-called guarantee, people should seriously question whether the process is designed that way on purpose.
I would strongly warn anyone considering Boost Mobile to stay away. Between poor reception, rude agents, a website that does not properly disable auto-pay, and what felt like a runaround on the refund promise, this company came across as dishonest and manipulative. Extremely disappointing. Boost Mobile’s so-called customer service and money-back guarantee felt more like a trap than a service. Based on my experience, I would not trust this company with my phone number or my credit card information.
