    Boost Mobile is a joke. They told me I missed December bill which I know for a fact to be a lie. Boost would've cut off my services. Secondly why wasn't this stated then in January bill pay period so my bill is due before the 17th of each month. I send them 55 dollars on the 15th. Talk to someone to make the payment. Why wasn't this brought up then, then on the 17th they decided to go in my account and take another 55 dollars out of my account and they said she doesn't know how to help me cause it's stated I missed December like I said. Boost doesn't even give you any time after your bill is due. All of my 6 kids and wife are with boost but after this we all will be finding another carrier if this is the way they conduct business.

    I had service with Boost Mobile for nearly ten years. The app slowly got worse. Service was okay. I ordered a new Samsung phone last July and the delivery was delayed or lost in transit and that experience was very frustrating. I canceled the order and reversed the $110 initial payment with my bank. I called Boost and had my phone unlocked so I could switch to a new carrier, explaining to the rep the debacle with my phone order was why I was canceling my Boost account. The rep unlocked my phone and I set up an account with a new carrier and upgraded my phone with them.

    Fast forward to 2-12-26, I am now a Mint customer and that's been great, but my credit score took a 64 point dip because of a new collections on my credit report? The phone I never received from Boost now shows as an unpaid balance. I called Boost to investigate this. While the rep was assisting me, she advised me that my automatic payment was still active on Boost. Oh? Then... how did the account go unpaid? I would have seen charges on my bank statement and my account could not have gone to collections.

    I asked when the last payment was debited. No answer. I asked that the automatic payments be canceled. I got kind of a weird response but I was told this would be handled within 72 hours and I would receive an email confirming the amount was removed and the collections account removed. It's been only 24 hours but I'm losing confidence. I also filed a dispute with Equifax. I don't have a lot of confidence with Boost. I believe their excuse for not delivering my phone was they claimed my address had been incomplete on my order. But I had been a customer for at least ten years. That's when it becomes clear, this is a bad company.

    I don't know who is getting service for $25., but that has to be a lie. I have 3 lines that were supposed to be locked in. One of the phones went wrong and going into the store to upgrade or replace the defective phone we were told in order to do that the bill would increase. I am now paying an additional $55.+ for the same 3 lines. PITIFUL SERVICE AND CUSTOMER SERVICE. I am the stupid one, I just need to switch providers, but that is also a pain. If you can avoid Boost do so like a plague. RUN DO NOT WALK, RUN AS FAST AS YOU CAN, DO NOT USE BOOST.

    Illegal Indian scam call centers. Boost is selling full price iPhones unlocked that are locked. If you pay full price for a iPhone boost written corporate policy is "immediate unlocking" or 2 day ". They will not unlock the iphone under any circumstance: after 20 calls to India, China, South Africa "rent a call center" and a week Later. The call centers are not boost employees but third party professional scammers who refuse to port out, refuse to document anything they say as they lie to you with no transparency, they have you sign mandatory contracts when they are a "no contract " company: on a full price phone which is another scam. The representative don't speak (good) English. It's illegal to lock a cell Phone that's paid in full. You will get nowhere with boost for resolution. They will steal, cheat, lie and defraud you. Professional scammers and fraudsters.

    They hide the contracts saying sign for the phone which requires e-signature. That then was connected to a three page contract that was not disclosed, nor was a copy provided. I never seen anything but the signature box. Run run run from boost as this is a Punjabi Indian scam company with no validity. If you buy a phone outright you own the phone not boost. By boost locking the phone they own the phone: it makes the phone worthless and you can never change carrier. They will Not let you port out so They blackmail you into a life time contract. When I tried to Port out they have me fake port out numbers that were rejected.

    Custom service has zero product knowledge and they don't know their own corporate policy. The best way to deal With boost is to contact the FCC and your reverse your bank charges. They will not provide a refund. If you order from boost online you cannot go to a store for help as they are independently owned and will not help You. The people in India will send you to the store to wear you out with no help there. They run you in circles as no one provides any assistance but constantly con you. And if you're lucky to receive any correspondence from boosts it's written in Chinese form. The Chinese scam call center. I have copies of correspondence in Chinese when I am in USA. No translation. No English.

    Ask The phone reps on the phone where they are from, they are trained to not answer or lie, they will say west coast when it's India. Don't give your personal information to third world country foreigners that are not boost employees. They are subcontracting third party call centers scam companies, which is 100 percent of boost employees.

    Plans may be cheap, but if you're unable to receive calls and texts, it's a waste of money. SIM card was upgraded after experiencing weak data signal. After the upgrade, I stopped receiving new texts and incoming calls. Spent hours getting the runaround, being sent to the store in the next town only to be told they can't help. Now they say I have to wait while they resolve an outage and system upgrade and to call back. The only place I'm calling now is a new carrier.

    Boost Mobile has the absolutely most useless website possible. If you want to pay your bill you're good to go. Wanna file a claim? Get another phone? Change your plan? Use their chat? I suggest you drive to the nearest store. Or better yet change carriers. You'd be better off using "Jim Bob's Used Phone services".

    It's bad enough that as a long-time customer they have no incentives, but my biggest issue is your bill date....Why is the service suspended at the beginning of the actual bill date and they consistently make dumb excuses as to why? If the bill date is 5th, your service shouldn't be interrupted at 9 am on the 5th!!!! WTF?? This is one of the main issues with Boost!! Who shuts off a phone before the person has a chance to pay the bill?? ANY DAY ENDS ON MIDNIGHT, NOT THE ACTUAL DAY!!! THEY ARE THE WORST.

    I switched to Boost with my same phone and number from another provider. I was waiting for the SIM card kit to arrive when I got an email days later that my account was activated and ready to go. The number and phone added to the account wasn't mine. The SIM card still hadn't arrived yet. I immediately tried to delete my credit card information. After speaking to 6 or 7 live agents they vehemently denied removing my card information. They also accused me of having someone in my circle activate the account. But how when I hadn't even received the SIM card for my phone. That number was from another state and not the same phone I have. They couldn't explain it. I pray this doesn't affect me in the future. One of the worst decisions I've ever made.

    This has been the WORST experience I have ever had with a phone company. My phone just up and stopped working two days before Christmas, and still today is inoperable. And no one at the entire company has offered a viable solution for their inadequate network coverage, data stealing, and inoperable technology. They refuse to offer me a replacement phone, even though the phone has no damage, and is only 4 months old. I have not had this phone a year, All they seem to offer me is to use my insurance and pay a deductible, which is used to pay just in case I BREAK IT, not Boost Mobile.

    Their leadership is terrible, and they have no solutions to hardware issues, even if you purchased the phone directly from them. Which I did. The network service is unreliable, the customer service, where pleasant, is incapable of problem-solving or issue management, leaving customers feeling scammed. There are other services that offer comparable pricing, providing better service all around. It is simply UNACCEPTABLE. Period.

    Purchased a new phone that was advertised to be $10 a month for the first 3 months, then $25 a month for life. I called in to activate my service and was told that my "Sim card already has a plan". OK? What does it plan to do then? Nothing. They told me that promotion was not available on my Sim card. Whatever that means. After just under 2 hours of dealing with Apu from Bangladesh, and his 7 cousins, I was told that they had to send me a new Sim card, and that I would be receiving a confirmation email by the end of the day. No such email was received. I called again and gave them the "ticket" number, and was told that there was no information under that number, and that I would have to wait 5 business days for the new Sim card. Two weeks have gone by, and still no Sim card, or confirmation email.

    Boost mobile is a death trap. They require to set an autopayment and there is absolutely no way to remove it even after you have closed it. If you call their customer service, they pass you around to different departments make you wait 30+ minutes. Then they demand to "verify" the account that has already been closed by sending multiple forms of government documents. This is just a bullshit process so that you cannot close the account.

    Boost Mobile has affordable plans. However, I recently had to purchase a new phone and because of the lack of knowledge of how the financing is done by the clerk. I was very dissatisfied with the price I paid and how I was paying for it. I returned the phone which was a process which canceled my contract, however boost for lack of being able to identify me with me providing my social security number, my address, my email copy of the front and back of my driver's license as well as a selfie, therefore they could not refund my money.

    They took the money for my account with no problem but with a refund there's a problem and I have not been able to use their service since the day after they pulled the funds from my bank. I followed all instructions that they gave me even went to a store so they could verify my identity.

    Hello. I’m posting this review with the hope that “the predators, AKA Boost mobile” make this right. I’m a mariner, Sea-Man and I go away working in a cargo boat 3-6 months at a time. Long story short I comeback home looking for the phone replacement I was supposed to get 8 months ago thru boost insurance (filed my claim, they approved it, but since then, their website keeps re-directing me to call them but after I call, they keep saying my claim it’s in process and call disconnects). Back in 2025 I was with boost paying $62,48 for two lines with hot-spot included; then I get the offer in mail to get iPhone16 for $149 dollars which I signed up for but then, after I opened my claim for lost equipment, I find out the it was all a lie because they tell me that I have a loan, and I’m financing it but none of these was disclosed to me at a time of signing. That’s one.

    Second: as you can see thru my posted pictures, I find out that during the month of July alone, 7-12-2025, I see that Boost mobile has withdrawn from my checking account, 8 different times without my authorization a total of $379.64; in charges and since then, they’ve been using it as their personal checking account withdrawing basically anything they want. Third: they have been collecting monthly payments for lost iPhone but still I have no phone. I strongly recommend to check your statements and stay away from automatic payments because it seems that, they’re just out here to clean your bank accounts.

    I have been with Boost Mobile for nearly 20 years. I just bought a new phone in June 2025 and they activated it and as usual locked the phone for one year. I called them and asked if they could unlock the device for couple of months because I am traveling and need to use the Sim Card for that country while I am there.

    They said NO. I told them I respect your policy even though I don't agree with it since I have been with them for almost 2 decades. I have a perfectly fine phone that I was using a while ago with Boost Mobile. I asked them to unlock the device. They can not do so because they had locked the device to be used only with Sprint. Boost Mobile was with Sprint at that time.

    They have ruined a perfectly fine device. They are unable to resolve the problem they have caused. They can not make an exception and unlock the device I am currently using and their solution is to buy a new device. I said that's your solution then you provide me with a replacement for the device you have locked and you are unable unlocked. I have tried to speak with them and it's been very unpleasant. They are very arrogant and disrespectful. This is what you get after almost 2 decades of being their custome.

    My husband ordered me a new phone... So Boost Mobile took the money right away on 12/30/25. On Wed the 31st all Boost had done was create a label. Now we called several times. No one speaks English. The first CSR said, "You will get it when you get it," which made us mad, THe supervisor didn't know anything either, So I made a few phone calls to a family member who works for UPS and they found out that Boost had not contacted them to pick up a package for me,,, Now this was Friday 1/02/26, But we spoke to a supervisor on the 2nd and I told her this is fraud. Gave her my banker's name, the bank name and location and that I was sending all this information to them and letting them file a fraud charge, When we ordered the phone we gave the CSR our email. She put in the old email address and all emails were going to an email we had no access to.

    So to sum this up is Boost Mobile needs to go out of business. Their customer service sucks and they do not care about their customers.. So they need to prorate my line because by the time I get my phone it will be 2 weeks of not having it,, But I think when I get it we are switching to to Truth Mobile. I hate Boost Mobile. They suck,,, I hope the CEO or Owner sees this and hopefully does something before they keep losing customers because we also have Dish which I'm wanting to go to DirecTV or Fire Stick ...

    I decided to change carriers after I moved and had problems network coverages. After being on hold for over an hour, I got the pins to port out my phone numbers. I gave the pins and relevant info to my new carrier. Boost refused to port out the numbers according to my new carrier, so I decided it would be easier to get new numbers rather than deal with Boost customer service. I then found that Boost network locked my phone and my new SIM card would not work. I called and waited on hold again. This time I was told that I had not had the phone with Boost for a year so they would not unlock it. I looked it up in the app and this was not true. The customer service manager lied. I had bought the phone over two years ago from Boost and paid it in full. I met all the criteria to unlock the phone. I called again and was put on hold.

    The customer service rep told me the phone was locked because I had not had it for a year. I told him the exact date I bought it. He put me on hold again and then told me it would be unlocked in two business days. Maybe it will. Scammy business. I never signed up for Boost.

    Under no given circumstance go with Boost Mobile!!!! (Beware)!!!! First I go to this store because I don’t want a contract plan. So I purchased my phone and paid the purchase price for the phone, neither representative in the store told me I could not have this until after I purchased my phone and then was put on a costly plan and told that I could come off after 1 year of service of $60 what I didn’t want from the beginning (entrapment). I left this store highly upset and called corporate to be told the very same thing. After that I wanted to sell the phone and be done with them but I found out that even though I brought the phone out and out not only could I not take to another provider but it would remain locked until my 12 months was PAID EACH MONTH FOR 12 months.

    People save yourself the trouble. Go to Verizon!!! Service sucks and they're no different than, some of the side providers robbing customers! It looks as if they train their customer service reps on blind siding you until you have purchased their phones knowing you will be stuck with their nightmare of a plan. I can’t wait until my last month of giving them $60 and throw the whole phone away! I will never recommend this place to NO ONE!!!! If you don’t have a phone to bring over, do yourself a favor don’t go to Boost!

    I’ve been a Boost Mobile customer for over 12 years. I am grandfather into my five lines $100. I was not using two of my lines and decided to try to use them. They told me that I couldn’t when I tried to activate a line on it. One customer said he was able to due to the fact it’s only four lines so it falls under the four for $100 plus. I wanted to add my Apple Watch. My bill before talking to them was $118. When I got my next bill it was 280. When I took a look at my statement, the representative decided to put a whole separate account with the line that I was trying to add onto my existing account.

    I tried to call customer service to rectify the situation. They wanted me to spend another hundred dollars to open up a whole separate account Plus pay the $280. I also called to see back at a tablet. My line come to find out that the tablet that I purchased was not cellular compatible. I requested not to proceed with the activation and a staff member is still went ahead and activated the line and I still got charged again. I’ve been a boost Mobile Member for over 12 years and as soon as I get the chance, I am dropping them because their staff are scamming just to make commission.

    I have been trying to switch from ATT to Boost Mobile now for about 2 weeks. I have finally given up due the literally unbelievable difficulty I have encountered with this completely insane process. After finally giving up; Boost Mobile now says they cannot refund my upfront $10.00 even though I am still very much within the advertised 30-day refund period. They gave me some ludicrous reason which is just some pathetic excuse to keep my money. I tried to give them a chance; but my decision to do so has proved to be a grave mistake. I would have to say they are not an ethical company in their refusal to refund my $10 fee as advertised.

They took thousands of dollars after they knew the process was happening. They won’t assist you in getting your final bill and keep putting tickets in when nothing comes from the ticket.

    My wife and I stopped in the Boost Mobile store in Mechanicsburg Pa, on Saturday afternoon December 13 2025. The lights were on and open sign lit up, but the door was locked. I called the store's number and no answer. We knocked on the door, no answer. We were about to leave and decided to knock again. All of a sudden a man came out of the back looking very disgusted, he swung the door opened and said “what”, I said, "Are you open?" He said no! I said, "The sign says you are," he got very rude and said, "I’m taking a break." Then he said, "What do you want?" I said absolutely nothing and turned and walked away. Unbelievable the attitude of this employee. I was coming there to get 3 new phones with plans. I can’t tell you my opinion of boost mobile right now.

    I had an account with Boost for me and my husband and our daughters were on metro and we were tired of paying 2 different bills and since 2 of my daughters live over an hour away it's not easy to get them into town so we could swap everyone to boost so we just were going to transfer to Metro for the time being until we get a time you know in the future that we could all get together and go to Metro and switch over. Then while after sitting on the phone for over 18 minutes each time I called boost and three separate times I had to wait on hold for a customer service representative and I told them that I wanted my transfer pin and my account number and after asking three separate times while we were transferring and explaining to them that we didn't want to have two different phone bills we wanted one phone bill for everybody and just all the details they the first one just hung up.

    The second time the guy was like, "Yes yes. No problem" which of course you know they have barely speak English so you can't understand half of what they're even saying but I got the gist and he got he understood what I was asking and he said yes. Well then all of a sudden the phone went quiet. No music. No whole thing. Nothing and then he hung up on me and I had full bars so I know it wasn't because of my signal. Then after that I got on there a third time and the lady that I talked to the third time I explained that I wanted to transfer and I needed my transfer pin and account number. She kept on and on pushing about why I will explain to explain to her while we were transferring for the time being and then she kept on and on trying to do "We don't want to lose you as a value customer. We will see if we can do something for your plan or" and I kept saying, "No ma'am."

    And after three times of asking about why we were transferring and stuff and I explained to her she kept on and on pushing and pushing and pushing trying to get a stay and wouldn't give us the information. And then my husband got on the phone and the same thing she was saying that out of here and then she would get a second $10 credit to our account and this and that and he kept saying, "No we don't. We just want our information." She kept on and on and on and then we finally said we wanted to speak to a supervisor and then after continuing to push and push and push and US asking and asking for information she still would not give it to us. And then all of a sudden we start hearing music like we have been put on hold and then about 2 minutes after that the lady hung up on us.

    I have never had so much issues trying to get it transfer pin and account number to transfer to a different thing and we had to physically go to the boost store get them to call customer service and get our information. So needless to say I don't know that I'll ever come back to boost because of the customer service people and the people in Metro could not believe that they had hung up on us three different times. If they were having an amazed that a customer service representative would do that.

    So anyways yeah we had no trouble with our phone bills before that and we would like to boost. We didn't have any issues with our signals and stuff but because our daughters with over an hour away and we can't get them to the boost store to transfer everybody over at the moment that's why we decided to transfer to Metro for the time being. But if they hadn't done that to us we probably would have transferred back at some point when we can get everybody together.

    I switched to Boost Mobile expecting to save money, but my experience has been extremely disappointing. The company’s billing system is very confusing, and I noticed transactions being made without my permission. Over the course of three months, I ended up paying nearly $300, with bills appearing 3 to 5 times per month. None of the live agents were able to explain why I was being charged so frequently or provide any clarity about my account. I feel that the company has taken advantage of me, and I am very dissatisfied with their service.

    After paying two bills, my phone was disconnected, and I was forced to pay an additional bill to restore my service. On top of that, I was required to pay for December to cancel my service. When I called the company for help, I could barely understand the live agent due to his very thick accent, and he was unable to explain why I was being charged so much. He eventually transferred my call to another department. The second agent refused to cancel my service or provide my transfer PIN, and his English was also very poor. He repeatedly told me that my “device” could not be transferred, even though I explained that I only needed the transfer PIN. I had to ask three times before he finally listened to my request and gave me the information.

    The company should prioritize hiring individuals who have strong English communication skills. Effective communication is essential for delivering excellent customer service and ensuring that clients feel heard and understood. During my recent interaction, there was significant background noise, and I could barely hear the live agent, which made the experience frustrating. By employing staff who can communicate clearly in English, the company can enhance customer satisfaction and avoid misunderstandings.

I was not able to add/change my payment method without reaching out to customer support. However, I was able to do that from the app. I was able to safely and securely provide necessary personal info to verify my account and provide my new payment info also.

I call recently to add a iPhone 13 to my line. The customer service representative was so rude. They didn't speak English so I didn't understand them too well and I guess they didn't understand me too well. I asked them to add the iPhone 13 and give me a number. Instead some kind of way they shut my razor off and added my phone number to the iPhone 13. I had to go into the store to see what's going on and see why I could not make a call on my phone. Didn't let me know that they gave a number. I found out when I went in the store.

    I sat on the phone all day long from 10:00 that morning so 5:00 that evening being shipped around to representative after representative. Still didn't get nowhere. I called the next day trying to get my number added back to my razor. Still could not get nowhere. I will never recommend no one to boost. I will never go back to their service.

    Boost Mobile: A Telecom Black Hole Where Time and Sanity Go to Die. To call Boost Mobile's operational model a standard telecommunications service is a profound disservice to the word "service." It is not a company that provides connectivity; it is a corporate gauntlet designed to maximize user frustration, minimize actual support, and ensnare customers in a low-cost contract that quickly escalates into a high-cost emotional toll. If telecommunications companies were ranked on a scale of sheer administrative hostility, Boost Mobile wouldn't just top the list—it would be the standard against which all other corporate nightmares are judged. This is not just bad customer service; this is a meticulously engineered ecosystem of incompetence.

    The Purchasing Paradox: Cheap Phones, Priceless Frustration. The trap is set at the point of purchase. Boost Mobile lures customers in with seemingly irresistible phone deals and low monthly rates. But buying a phone from Boost isn’t a transaction; it’s signing a lease agreement with a digital warden. The Lock-In: These devices aren't yours; they are instruments of captivity. Should you ever decide the pain of staying outweighs the cost of leaving, you discover your Boost phone is locked down tighter than Fort Knox. The process to unlock it—even after fulfilling all contractual obligations—is a bureaucratic horror show designed to fail. It guarantees that any attempt to switch providers involves either a months-long fight or the outright purchase of a new device.

    The Compatibility Nightmare: In the rare instance a customer manages to escape and keep their device, they often find the phone is mysteriously incompatible with every other major network, despite being a standard model. This forces customers back into the Boost orbit or mandates buying yet another high-cost replacement phone elsewhere. The low initial price tag is a classic bait-and-switch: they save money on hardware by ensuring you spend infinitely more time and energy breaking free of their ecosystem.

    The Customer Service Abyss: The Digital Purgatory. The real core of the Boost Mobile experience is their customer service—or rather, the calculated failure of it. Engaging with a Boost Mobile representative is less about seeking a solution and more about entering a digital purgatory where common sense is suspended and time ceases to have meaning.

    The experience is standardized, miserable, and soul-crushing:

    1. The Wait Time as Punishment

    The journey begins not with a friendly greeting, but with the digital equivalent of an hour-long loop of elevator music punctuated by static and automated voices promising that "your call is very important to us." This wait is not accidental; it serves to soften the customer, exhausting them before they even speak to a human. By the time a live voice answers, the caller has already expended 50% of their daily resolve.

    2. The Transfer Vortex

    Once connected, the representative’s sole function appears to be triage, not resolution. No matter the issue—a simple billing question, a network activation problem, or a porting error—the first agent inevitably determines they are the wrong person.

    The customer is then thrown into the Transfer Vortex: relayed from Billing to Technical Support, from Technical Support to the infamous "Escalation Team," and inevitably, back to the starting point. Each transfer involves re-explaining the entire, convoluted history of the problem to a new, equally powerless voice reading from the same outdated script. Hours vanish into this vortex, never retrieving a single minute of productivity or peace of mind.

    The Agents: Script Readers, Not Problem Solvers

    The single most frustrating element of Boost Mobile is the human interface. The customer service workers are not inherently malicious, but they are demonstrably ill-equipped, inadequately trained, and fundamentally disenfranchised from solving actual problems.

    They are not customer service agents; they are script gatekeepers.

    The Rigid Script: The representatives are seemingly locked into a decision tree printed on a binder circa 2005. If your problem deviates even slightly from the prescribed flow chart, the system collapses. There is zero room for critical thinking, empathy, or practical fixes. They will refuse to acknowledge the obvious solution if it is not explicitly listed in Step 4B of their training manual.

    The Powerless Persona: Trying to get an agent to execute a simple task—like reversing a clearly erroneous charge or correctly inputting a modem number—feels like asking them to personally fund the transaction. They lack system access, high-level permissions, and, crucially, the training necessary to navigate complex account issues. Escalating the problem is met with polite resistance until the customer is forced to resort to exasperated fury just to speak to a supervisor, who often proves just as restricted.

    The Disconnection: There is a profound emotional disconnection. When dealing with Boost Mobile, the caller is not viewed as a valued customer needing assistance, but as an annoyance interrupting system stability. The agents are experts in non-committal language, promising resolution "within 24 to 48 hours" knowing full well that clock runs infinitely.

    A Final Warning. Boost Mobile is the perfect demonstration that the lowest price often yields the highest hidden cost: your time, your patience, and your sanity. They have weaponized bureaucratic hurdles and poorly managed workforce to make the cost of switching providers so prohibitively high that frustrated customers simply give up and accept the digital abuse. If you value seamless connectivity, reliable service, and the fundamental respect due to a paying consumer, run—do not walk—away from the temptation of Boost Mobile. It is a company that succeeds only in proving that when it comes to telecom, the horror stories are real, and they are orchestrated meticulously.

    I had phone problems, and called for tech support. Being unable to receive a text, I spent 15 minutes talking to their people before being put on hold for another 30 minutes. Problem still unsolved; account (and phone service) down. The people I talked to were polite and tried to help, but that's the best I can say. The account security questions they told me about *after* the hold time won't work with someone who doesn't have a working phone. This is hardly useful - my only option is to find and visit their store.

I was also told that my sim cards would be mailed to me, which I haven't seen yet, although I receive text telling me to download these apps to see what great benefits my new Sim cards have. I contacted customer service only to have very rude unprofessional foreigners who speak very broken English. I feel that I.C.E. should check out the employees for boost.

    I have been with Boost Mobile for years with them withdrawing payment out of my account on the fourth of every month. They withdrew my payment and disconnected my service on the tenth of the month at 9:29 am without my consent or permission. Never reached out through email because this was my only way of communication because my SIM card went out due to having an older model phone. I contacted Boost through the local store and they informed me that they had no permission to disconnect my service. I reached out to their customer service and they refused to give me my refund. They said there's no corporate to discuss the matter with. The fact that a company would disrespect a loyal customer in this way says a lot about your company and what tall stand for.

    I'll make sure to make all my family and friends who use their services to part ways with them. They are snakes and I'm a single woman who has to drive around and be at work and in my house without a phone. I expressed to the customer service rep who was on the phone, "What if your mother, wife or daughter was in this situation how would like it." Didn't give a damn at all.

    Boost customer service/IT department/Advanced IT deparment/Network Team are all extremely incompetent. My voicemail box was locked for one whole week and still not fixed. I called numerous times per day and I had to repeat telling the problem over and over again and tried the same set of steps they want me to do over and over again. They told me an escalation ticket was created, gave me the ticket # but when I called back, there was no such ticket created. They dropped my calls. They asked me to simply wait for someone to get back to me but no one did. Most of their IT people has zero idea how to unlock a voicemail box and asked me to just wait after entering all the info in their system.

    Next time I called, I had to retell the whole story, tried all the same steps. None worked! They said their network team is looking into the issue, it will take up to 7 days. I have been without voicemail for ~10 days. No one called me back and I am going to lose my job if I use any more time calling Boost to ask about this issue. I am aghast in how Boost customer service operates. I also had a VERY hard time understanding what each of their customer service and IT people are saying. This experience has shortened my life by a few years, I am sure of it. I still do not have voicemail -- could not retrieve my voicemail (which I desperately needed). People continue to leave me voicemail but I have no way to get them. The only option is to change carrier! DO NOT use Boost as your mobile phone carrier!

And here lately I've been losing signal going to emergency calls only for no reason bc as soon as I put it on airplane mode and take it off it goes right back to full signal most of the time sometimes I have to do it a few times or cut my phone off and back on and I'll be sitting in the same spot, I didn't move where I from where I was at and it happens probably a couple times a week here lately.

    They need to take this 5G crap and get rid of it and go back to 4G because it's 5G ain't worth having If I'm going to pay for a cell phone and service it should work especially when it used to work when it was only 4G instead of 5G that doesn't make any sense. I would advise fun and a new carrier that's better. I don't know which one is but I wouldn't go with Boost if I had to do it again. They need to go back to the old network.

    Worst experience ever. Purchased phone 10/2/25. Associate could not set up phone. Went back 10/3 to different associate. Could not set up phone (no voice mail, no messaging, incoming calls going to another state). Went back 10/5. 40 minutes later, same result. Went back 10/6, asked to have phone factory reset and start over. Associate did that and still could not set up phone, Assoc sent me to other store where manager (Tim **} was said to be "more competent".

    Tim worked with it for 30 minutes couldn't set it up. Called Tech support and Tim worked with them over phone another 30 minutes, couldn't set it up. Said they would turn it over to higher level of tech support and call within 24 to 72 hours. No phone call, went back to store after 72 hours and asked Tim if he was called, no. Told Tim I just wanted refund on phone. Tim said he spoke with his manager and they would not do refund because it wasn't returned within 5 days. Told Tim Boost return/refund policy is 30 days for on-line or in-store purchase. Tim said they have their own policy and he would not provide name or number to his manager. Said the only way he could take back phone is they try to file insurance claim but I would have to pay deductible.

    10/8 called customer service and they confirmed 30 day for instore purchase. Asked them to call store and tell them that and they said they could not call the store. Asked to speak to supervisor, explained situation again and asked if he could call store. He said he could not call the store and suggested I call the manufacturer of the phone. Are you kidding me! I asked to speak to his supervisor and he said this is as high as it goes. He said he could start an internal review but it was strictly internal and the store would not be notified. Asked him what the purpose of the review was and he said it was strictly internal and I could call back after 72 hours.

    I have since purchased a new phone from another company and was in and out in 30 minutes with all features working fine. Associate was very tech proficient and customer service great. It is hard to believe that Tim ** and the associates are that incompetent and customer service sucked. This could have been an easy fix by just replacing the phone and starting over (faulty). I have sent letters to the Boost leadership team (6), waiting on reply and hopefully satisfaction.

    I switched to Boost about 7 years ago. We got the family plan, 4 lines for $100. The first few years, it was good. Not great, but good. They would slow down data to the point of having to connect to Wifi to access the internet. This was due to "peak usage". To be expected for the price you're paying. A couple of years ago, they changed their app around. When my bill was due, I would get text messages reminding me to make a payment. When they changed the app, this no longer happened. They were very persistent on me using autopay. No thanks. Then I started getting the text message reminders again saying for example, "Your bill is due on the 29th". Then, they would cut my phone off on the 28th or sometimes the 27th. I asked about this with the salesman at the Boost store he said straight out "They do that so you will enroll in autopay".

    On Oct.4 of this year, I was told "You're due for an upgrade". I hadn't bought a new phone since 2022 at Boost. I went to the same store I always go to, and paid cash for the phone. Just like I did in 2022. Only this time, when my bill was due, It was $150!! I contacted customer service, they said " Your price structure was changed due to the upgrade. It cannot be changed now." This did NOT happen when I upgraded in 2022. This was also only for an upgrade to 1 phone, not all of them. Also, I am locked into this price in perpetuity. So here's the math: Paid $150 for the phone. $150/month forever. The cost of the phone new is $300. After 12 months I will have paid $750 for a $300 phone?? None of this was explained to me when I bought the phone, or I would have bought something else. Then, I find out the phone is locked for 12 months.

    This company is the WORST!! They are predatory and customer service is awful!! I bought 4 new phones elsewhere at reasonable prices, and switched to another company the day I found all this out. If you have a phone with them for 12 months, and haven't upgraded, DON'T! Leave them and go elsewhere, there are better, less expensive, options out there. Horrible company.

To my surprise, customer service told me there’s no way to unlock the phone, not even if I’m willing to pay for it! Basically, if I travel and don’t take my Boost SIM card, I’m supposed to just throw my phone away because it’s useless outside their network. That’s total disrespect to loyal customers. A serious company should at least allow unlocking after years of good standing. Think twice before buying a Boost Mobile locked phone.

    Complete nightmare dealing with them. Not the first, or even second time, it is complete chaos and unprofessional. Called to get my number switched to a new phone and was told I would receive a call back when my number came up. NEVER happened. I waited for their call for 45 min. NO CALLBACK. Decided to call them and was on hold 50 minutes and finally talked to someone who then eventually hung up right in the middle of helping me. Called back....on hold again for another 55 minutes, got hung up on. Believe it or not...

    Called again.... Waited on hold for 33 min.... Talked to someone who promised I wouldn't get hung up on. Guess what? I got hung up on again. So totally unbelievable.... as if I have 4 hours to sit on a phone waiting for them to get their stuff together enough just to do a simple activation. I gotta say....if you are thinking about going with boost, I encourage you not to. You will find yourself frustrated and angry with absolutely no resolution to a 4-hour phone call with them. They are the shottiest phone company out there by far.

    If I could put -5 stars for rating I would put that! They are the worse FRAUD ever!!! Act good and cheap but customer support and representatives have no knowledge of technology and phones! I was looking for a cell phone provider with support of a eSIM. I spoke with 2 service representatives, after providing my phone info, IMEI and manufacturer info and they both assured me that I can have eSIM activated. Bought the deal online, and was told to as activate physical SIM card and then call customer service that they will transfer it to be eSIM.

    Upon activation of physical SIM card, I called customer support. The guy who answered first asked for the info on my phone. Then he said how my phone doesn't support eSIM (even though I have him both IMEI where one of them is called IMEI (eSIm) and even though I already used it all over the world with many different providers including T-Mobile. After I explained that then he said how my phone doesn't support dual sim. I said I don't need dual sim, I have one physical that I use and just want the Boost physical to convert to eSIM as I was told by multiple Boost agents including their AI chat! I was then told that my phone doesn't support eSIm. After asking for manager, manager was confirming the story.

    Due to false advertisement I asked to disconnect the phone and get refund on my purchase so I can go somewhere else and get eSIM. They asked is it a new number or transferred. After I said it's new, they said their policy is not covering this as the service is provided/card is activated and I have number running. I said I asked for eSIM, your agents told me yes just activate sim and call to swap to eSIM which now you are saying my phone doesn't support even though I had plenty times used it. This is a basic example of fraud! Selling something that you don't support and then don't want to give refund as your policy doesn't support it! They ended up hanging up on my call when I asked to talk to manager after they offered me to cancel the line with no refund!

Claims I never paid my past months bill and now bill shows for $302.99.

I have never had an issue with my bill but I keep getting emails for credit. I have pages of chat reports and emails from higher up managers trying to correct the situation. Now I am very frustrated I'm being charged for 2 months when it should only be once. I wish I never even thought about adding an additional line. I wouldn't be in this screwed up situation nw.

    I ordered two Apple phones online from Boost Mobile, paid in full, and was expecting delivery. On the day of delivery, my order was suddenly canceled with no email, no phone call, and no explanation. I had to reach out to customer service myself, only to find the representatives unhelpful and management no better. To make matters worse, instead of refunding my payment in one transaction, Boost Mobile split it into three separate payments. Each one takes up to 10 business days to process, meaning I’m left waiting far too long to get my money back. This is completely unacceptable. A company should not cancel orders without notice, provide poor customer support, and then drag out the refund process. I would not recommend ordering online through Boost Mobile based on this experience.

    So I have two lines. My bill is supposed to be $50.

Don’t try to take any money out of my pocket or off my card whatever so what’s he do? He steals $1 $25 off of my credit card. I called customer service. They gave me a credit but then they turned around and put it back on my bill and told me it was taxes. I said I just got this phone. How can it be taxes, then I asked them, "Well where’s the taxes going? What kind of taxes am I paying?" They couldn’t even tell me I said well.

    Anybody can have a company say you’re paying taxes and this is where your taxes is going, but they have proof of where your taxes is going so then I called the FCC so then I spoke to the director she turned around and tells me I’m paying taxes for both phones but to remind you, it wasn’t like that in the beginning so of course you know she try to blame me like I’m stupid because I didn’t feel like going in my phone and getting my evidence to prove to her because I feel I don’t have to prove nothing to you but anyways she said, "Oh well I’m gonna go back to the recording," where you should’ve did that before you we even talked so you’re right they steal money out of your account.

    They lie. They don’t even try to work with you and to remind you, they don’t even give me hotspot for the other phone but yet I’m paying taxes for it. This is the worst company and now they’re replacing a lot of the employees with ** people and they’re just as worse but if you want to you can call the FCC.

I signed up a year ago and was put on the wrong plan and had to call 10+ times (no exaggeration) to get their mistake fixed. Finally, on the Infinite Access For Galaxy plan, they claim you're eligible to upgrade to the newest phone annually. I got the notice I was due for an upgrade (currently have an S24 Ultra). When I clicked the upgrade option, there were only Galaxy S series phones available. I called. The first person said you can't upgrade until the new year (wrong). I called again, and the woman said I have to send my phone back AND THEN they send the new one (wrong).

    I called again and was told I cannot get the Galaxy Z Flip and I MUST continue with the S series unless I pay off the current phone ($1000). The corporate office called me yesterday and said she reviewed the T&C, which don't say it must be the same series Galaxy, and she'd work on it. Today she calls back and says, "You do have to get the S series and cannot switch to the Z series." Ummmm....the plan is called the Infinite Access For *Galaxy*! THEY ARE BOTH GALAXY!!!!

    I recently had the unfortunate experience of dealing with Boost Mobile, and I feel compelled to share my frustration regarding their abysmal customer service and questionable business practices. Last month, I traveled to Bermuda and activated global roaming services online, expecting to stay connected. Unfortunately, that service failed miserably. I attempted to send text messages while abroad, but nothing went through. I tried multiple times, convinced it was a minor glitch, but ultimately found myself without the service I had paid for. Upon returning home, I reached out to Boost for assistance, hoping to resolve the issue with my billing. To my disbelief, the representative informed me that they could do nothing to fix my bill because they couldn't confirm if the service had actually worked. How convenient! So, I’m left with a bill for a service I couldn’t even use.

    To add insult to injury, just a week after signing up for two new lines, I received a bill covering two months. One was for a mere four days of service, yet I was charged for a full month. When I inquired, I was told this is how their billing cycle operates. Fine, I understand that, but why wasn’t I informed about being charged for an entire month for just a few days of service at the time of signing up? If the associate who sold me these lines had been transparent, I would have gladly delayed my order and saved $50.

    It truly feels like Boost's primary concern is making money rather than providing genuine customer service. Their associates seem ill-trained to handle problems, or perhaps it’s just company policy to brush off customer concerns. It’s disheartening to feel undervalued as a customer, and I’m left questioning whether I made a mistake choosing Boost. I strongly urge anyone considering their services to think twice. A provider that disregards its customers in favor of profits is not worth your time or money.

    Boost is the worst service that I have ever had!! I pay $100.00, the week after I pay my bill my data is gone and it runs so slow that I can’t even open up an email and when you speak to customer they are no help. I don’t feel that I should have to purchase extra data when I am already paying a bill. When you start service it should be explained that once you have used your data that your service will be slow but then they know nobody will buy from them. In this day and age we use our phones for everything and this is a big inconvenience and they do not care. I do not know how anybody can give the 5 stars because they do not deserve 1 star. I believe that the BBB should make them explain to customers what they will actually be getting with the plan and that they will be spending more than the initial bill.

    Boost is slowly but surely becoming the 4th major network competitor the market needs. I made the switch from Verizon about six months ago and I can honestly the say the coverage and wireless internet speed is the same if not better than verizon, and the price is significantly better. It's honestly been kinda eye opening how gimmicky the other carriers like T-Mobile, Verizon and ATT are. Boost got me a $25 dollar for month plan for life (we'll see, looking at you verizon) with everything the average consumer needs. Very happy so far. As always, just buy the phone you want unlocked... Don't get sucked into the "we'll give you a free phone you'll actually be stuck with for 3 years" crap the legacy carriers are known to do.

    So I ordered and paid for an Iphone 16e...online from Boost Mobile!! I have been waiting a week for it to be delivered to my address. They use UPS... Unfortunately UPS only delivers during normal business hours.. 9-5(7)!!! Well. I'm at work all day and then I travel home to pick up my kids...so I'm not home during those times!!! And because it's a cell phone and expensive...Boost doesn't allow the package to be left on site without signature! So okay....that's why.. Are you ready?!.. that's why UPS has CERTIFIED ACCESS POINT CENTERS OR LOCATIONS around where I and every other customer lives...where you can go and pick up that package at a later date or time!!!! But guess what... BOOST MOBILE and their idiotic executive management team or whomever is running it...WILL NOT ALLOW THE UPS DRIVER TO DROP OFF THE PACKAGE AT ONE OF THEIR "OWN" ACCESS CENTERS!!!!

    How in God's name does that make ANY SENSE!!! The customer service representative William at Boost just told me that Boost doesn't allow it because they want to "KEEP THE PACKAGE FROM BEING STOLEN OR FRAUDULENT ACTIVITY!!!!" Uhm....the UPS ACCESS POINT LOCATIONS ARE OWNED BY AND RAN BY THE SAME DAMN COMPANY WHICH IS UPS!!! What's the difference if the package is going to get lost of stolen from their driver or at one of their own delivery locations???!!! And Boost will not allow me to change the address to my work place or another location... They never told me this when I purchased the phone online!!!! So UPS will send my phone back to Boost original location where either was sent from in the first place... All because their policy will not allow the driver to take my package to their own ACCESS POINT LOCATION....which is 5 blocks from whee I live....where I can come later on after getting home...

    Go there and PROVIDE MY DRIVER'S LICENSE and proof of identification and get my new phone...which I need because my current phone is crashing!!! This is the logic of Boost Mobile!!! So I canceled my order and am getting a refund!!!! Do not ever ever ever order a cell phone or plan from this company online!!! That have idiotic and ridiculous policies regarding their delivery procedures!!! They don't make it easier for you...the customer! They make it impossible!!!!

    I have been using Boost Mobile for my phone service for the past five months, and unfortunately, my experience has been far from satisfactory. Despite having set up auto-pay to avoid disruptions, my service gets suspended monthly. Each time this happens, I call customer service, only to spend at least an hour on hold, waiting for someone to address the issue. It’s incredibly frustrating to be kept on hold for so long, and even after finally reaching a representative, my service often takes an additional three days to resume.

    This ongoing problem has seriously impacted my ability to stay connected, and it is disappointing to experience such inconsistent service. My bill is due on the 7th of each month, yet despite my efforts to maintain timely payments, I find myself dealing with unnecessary interruptions regularly. Overall, I have to say that this has been the worst service I have encountered, and I would not recommend it to others.

    I am a real estate agent in NYC; a potential renter called me and left a message that they were interested in my of my rental listings, but did not leave their number, their number did now show in the received call list. I was able to use the phone feature called "envelope" and get the number, which was international, when I tried to call the number it said I did not have enough funds to make international calls. I called Boost looking to add funds to make this one international call (I typically never make international calls), they told me they do not add funds for one international, that I had to update my plan and pay $10 a month extra to make this one call; this was annoying, but I was desperate to get in touch with this potential renter, so ended up agreeing to the service and figured I could cancel later.

    I was told the new service would take 10 minutes to active and that all I needed to do was restart the phone and I could make the call. Well 15 minutes later, after doing all that, I was still unable to make the call, same message "not enough funds". I found out when I called Boost back that there was a tech issue on Boost's end and they were trying to figure it out and by the next DAY it should be rectified. TWO DAYS later still the same issue and I am unable to make this call. I then called Boost again and told them to cancel this service. Boost is a horrible service, that made me lose business. The only good thing was a manager said she would not charge the 1st month's fee, due to all the issues.

    Lastly the owner of one the local Boost Stores told me I did not have a memory card in my phone, I am pretty sure I did but did not remember; he charged me for a memory card (first said $35 and said he would charge $25) and said it will help with issues of uploading photos with higher pks.

Instead of helping me, they told me that my phone doesn’t qualify because it hasn’t been active for a full 12 months.

    It’s very frustrating that Boost treats a long-term, paying customer this way. I’ve been with them for over a decade, always paying my bills on time, and yet they hide behind strict policies instead of showing any loyalty in return. I understand policies are in place for a reason, but there should absolutely be some flexibility and consideration for customers who have been with the company for 12 years. At this point, I feel unappreciated and stuck with a phone I own but can’t use the way I want. Boost Mobile clearly values rules over relationships, and that’s disappointing. I expected better.

He locks me out and uses it daily. He's stolen thousands of dollars from me, cost me everything, cars been repossessed, had to stop chemo making it terminal. I'm about to be homeless.

We recently cancelled our relationship with them because we found another company that was much less costly. The big problem is that we were told we could have one of the phones we had through them unlocked so we could use it with another company. After numerous phone calls to them (& being told originally that it was possible to unlock it and it would only be 2-3 business days for this to take place) we were told to go to a Boost store and they could take our identification and call the company and they would unlock our phone. We'd been told they would send us an email when it was unlocked also.

    The young man at the store tried and tried to get them to do as they'd promised us they would do, but they would not budge!! He was exasperated nearly as much as we were. We were told that we had to show identification at the store and they could call the "company" and then the phone would be unlocked. The store associate was told it wasn't possible to unlock our phone (even though the phone hadn't been used in over a year and the account was cancelled) because they didn't unlock it before we cancelled the account. We were never told that from the get-go. Only told it would take 2-3 days to have it unlocked. Every time we spoke with one of the customer service reps on the phone we got a different story. All we were told was one lie after another!!! We would never go back to Boost nor recommend them to anyone!! It doesn't matter to them how long you've been a customer. They don't care about you!!

I never received one but I received a PIN number email and promotional materials to the email i provided to them.

    I called the number and I was essentially bounced around departments. First being told that I could cancel the order and re-order. They sent over a financial agreement that was for my current phone that was signed last year. Then I was told I had to wait 7 days for the order to cancel since it would cancel after a week of not signing the agreement. Was also told they send the agreement daily for 7 days. I have yet to receive said agreement and it is Thursday July 24. Used chat again Today, July 24 and they maintain they can't cancel my order manually or resend an agreement. I asked what happens if I try again next week and still receive no agreement to sign? Their response was they understand my concern but there is nothing they can do and I have to wait until next week to reorder. I am going to go to a physical store and will update once I do.

    It really is a ZERO, they give you the run around then can legally take a cash payment early and will not refund it. The phone doesn't work properly. They refused. They are able to do so but refuse. $60 monthly paperweight.

    This is what happened to us with Boost. We had a problem and were approved 2 times for new phones first one online but never got a email from you to sign the agreement which they admitted was a fault on their end pending a $288.66 in our bank so they said go to a store which we drove 42 miles each way, but in store the computer crashed just before transaction was finished so they said to go home and do it again on computer.

    The 3rd was after the computer crashed we went home to try again as they told my husband to do it again and gave him a lead number and Still had problems and called and now we got someone that said with our credit we could only get a IPhone E but we were already approved twice - first online when they took money out of our account and at store for better phones with a call with a local manager and someone from main office because the man at the store was new and didn’t know how to do a drop ship. This was our second try. Our 3rd at home this guy didn’t approve us for something we were already approved for twice. 8 hrs out of my husband’s life so he said he is done with Boost.

    Boost Mobile, the worst cellular service! Phone loses service everywhere. Even if it's up to date, top of the line phone. Then customer care!!! I don't think they know what that is. Talk about the runaround. I have switched and will not go back. But if you're short on money and need some kind of service. Well boost is the one.

    Poor connection with many large laps in connection at all. They offer extra data but when you buy it, it runs out within just a few minutes after purchasing without having even used the service. They refuse to relay what has caused the data to go so fast due to some sort of privacy act which sounds totally suspicious to me.

    To anyone considering Boost Mobile... Beware! If you cancel service with Boost after making your payment in advance for the month, you do not get a refund if you are beyond the 30-day "trial" period. We cancelled on day 33 of service with this wretched business and it took 20 minutes and four (4) "representatives" before I was informed that there is no refunds. So if you cancel, do so before the end of 30 days. Live and learn how some business steal your money. Also suggest filing complaints with the BBB and FCC.

    Never getting or keeping this service again. Want me to pay for a phone that came defective. Phone gets hot. It cracked. The customer service is rude. Not too mention I've been trying to get some assistance but all they do is collect bill money and Don't care I can't receive any calls or text nor emails. They want to charge me to fix their phone. When I completely offered to buy my own I was told they had no more. I wouldn't get my dog a line if I could. Thanks for nothing. Last month dealing with a phone company that doesn't make their customers feel secure and grateful appreciated.

    Boost Mobile is by far the worst company! They basically force you to stay with them for 12 months, even though it is not a contract! The customer service is horrible. Majority of them speak to you like you are not even a customer. This whole company is just based off of money. I hate this company & I will not tell no one to buy or even do any type of business with this company for real! I hate you & I wish these 12 or whatever semi months I have with you guys go real fast!
