I requested to have my old phone number converted to a Boost Mobile number. After providing my details, the representative informed me that the process would take 3 to 5 business days. Three days later, I received a SIM card and contacted Boost to activate my number. However, upon activation, I discovered that I had been assigned a new number instead of my original one. I immediately reached out to Boost Mobile’s customer service to correct the issue, but the representative insisted that it was not their fault and refused to issue a refund. Despite multiple requests and conversations with a supervisor, they refused to acknowledge the mistake, insisting that I continue using the incorrect number unless I paid additional fees to get my original number back.
Boost Mobile’s customer service failed to take responsibility for their error and provided no resolution despite my repeated efforts. I would not recommend using their services, as they do not handle customer concerns professionally or fairly. I am attaching the call log from reference showing they wasted my time more than an hour. Very unhelpful, unprofessional!

Ordered sim. Activation process is pathetic. Activation send code to new number which is what I am trying to activate. Phone customer service ask me ssn. Why would I provide ssn for prepaid. I donated my first month cost to Boost. Nonsense company

I really loved T-Mobile at the start. Their customer service has been great... But then ... They really let me down. There was a promotion going on for the Samsung S5+ tablet, or something like that. It was 60$ a month for service on a phone and a tablet. All I had to pay was 20$ down. So a problem occurred with the tablet. The power button stopped working out of nowhere. I called customer service and they were so nice. They told me to send the broken one back and I would receive another one as soon as it was scanned by UPS. Two weeks went by, I called customer support, and I wasn't able to get the tablet anymore because the promotion ended. I had already paid. They have the tablets in stock for 99$ right now, but they couldn't be bothered to send me what they promised.
On another note, going through the 5 customer service calls I made in total about this tablet, ALL 5 EMPLOYEES SAID SOMETHING DIFFERENT. The very first one told me there was absolutely nothing they could do. The second told me that I would be receiving a refund or a TCL tablet. I didn't want the tablet. I had already bought a case for the Samsung. I said, "No. I want a refund." I had to call back to give my card number to receive my refund... And there was no record or ticket created period. I was told there was. The third phone call the person guaranteed me I would receive a refund at the end of the 21 day period. That didn't happen.
The 4th call, I had a seriously rude lady. She wouldn't work with me at all. She was rude before my problem was even presented.. And Just now I called, and was told that there could be nothing done about it, because as soon as the tablet was turned on and activated, I couldn't get a refund. ... Why can't they do anything to help me? 😭 They said they would and lied. Boost Mobile started going downhill towards the end, and now I'm seeing that the customer service representatives can basically say what they want, and can just tell you false information so they can get off the phone with you. I'm currently seeking another more reliable service. Consistency is key in any good business... The multiple different answers that were given, was a testament to their reliability.

I just switched to Boost today. I brought my own phone and number. Activation was easy enough. I was told that I needed to authenticate my account to get started. Code sent, entered, authenticated. Then I tried to log in to my account to add autopay. I never set up a password, so I tried to reset my password. Once again had to authenticate. This time, no code comes thru. So I call for support, 4 times. Every time you have to get a code to authenticate. Code comes thru fine, I'm authenticated. Then I get to a person who tells me they have to send me a code to authenticate. Code never comes thru, so they can't help me.
Four times I get sent to the "authentication" department. Twice I got disconnected. The third time, I need a code to authenticate, code doesn't come thru. Then she goes to my credit report to authenticate. Asks a bunch of multiple choice questions. Tells me I failed but not which question. I figured out that it had to be my height from my driver's license. One of my choices was from 20 years ago, not my current license. No authentication today. Call back later. Keep in mind that I had to authenticate before I could actually talk to a person. At this point I'm about ready to go back to getting ripped off by Verizon.

After nearly a decade of uninterrupted loyalty, I can no longer remain silent. I have endured —with a patience now entirely exhausted— the structural mediocrity of Boost Mobile, a subsidiary of DISH Wireless L.L.C., wholly owned by EchoStar Corporation. But what once might have been dismissed as mere negligence has evolved into an active and deliberate machine of abuse, deceit, and systematic theft.
I use the word theft consciously and without hesitation. Because there is no other way to describe what Boost Mobile is doing: Automatically activating services I never requested, billing me without consent, and repeating this pattern in random cycles as if running a covert scam within their own billing system. The most recent offense? A service called “Mini-Me Games” —which I have never subscribed to, never downloaded, never used, and which nonetheless has been quietly added to my bill. Let me be clear: I am a basic, cautious user. I don’t play mobile games. I don’t download random apps. I haven’t even installed Boost Mobile’s own app on my device. And yet, month after month, this unwanted charge appears and disappears mysteriously —A clear indication that this is no error, but a calculated business practice designed to extract money from unsuspecting customers, knowing that most will never notice… And even fewer will protest.
And when one tries to reach out for answers, things go from bad to worse. Their customer service in English is rudimentary. In Spanish, it’s a farce. Their network of physical stores is operated by individuals lacking even the most basic understanding of customer service. It is a closed system designed not to serve, but to protect its own mediocrity. Where is the Federal Trade Commission? Where are the consumer protection agencies? Where are the journalists and investigators who should be uncovering this corporate abuse? This is not an isolated incident. It is a pattern. And a pattern, by definition, is proof. Proof that Boost Mobile has not only failed as a service provider —it has crossed into illegality. I demand investigation. I demand accountability. I demand that this message echo across every platform where consumers have been quietly robbed for years. Because silence is complicity. And I refuse to be complicit any longer.

Been a Boost customer for 20 years but started having MAJOR PROBLEMS recently after adding my daughter to my plan. I'm set up for automatic payments but they still kept DISCONNECTING our service every month. Trying to call to make a payment with card already on file was an hour+ HASSLE of different reps saying they couldn't verify my account and the CUSTOMER SERVICE REP HANGING UP ON ME.
My daughter had to call them to try to make a payment and was charged a $4 fee for having to pay over the phone with with an actual person, as opposed to a robot. When I attempted to change service providers, Boost Refused to unlock both accounts for me and my daughter claiming we had to stay with them for 12 months after fully purchasing phones at boost store. They never mentioned this "Contract" when I purchased the phone, nor would they provide proof of its existence in writing when they came up with it the day I said I was transferring to a new carrier. So now that they've expanded, they have the worst service ever, many unwarranted service interruptions & glitches & have un-authorized contracts they don't inform customers of in order to have an illegal monopoly.

Although the Fair Credit Reporting Act says they must tell me the name, address and phone number of the place they are getting their questions from, they say that does not apply to them, so I cannot call and correct the information they have. I was told to go to a Boost store and they could authenticate me. I went to one 125 miles away from my home, and the people in the big box stores selling Boost products had no idea. I was told by a Boost person when I called that those people could help me, but that was not the truth.
In the meantime, I have failed the "test" 4 or 5 times, questions that are supposed to be about me and my life. Because my account is locked, I cannot transfer to another carrier, because they cannot get in to cancel my Boost account, as my Boost account is locked. I could change numbers, but I have had this number for over 20 years and do not want to switch phone numbers. As soon as I can get into my account, I will cancel my Boost account as no deal is that good!

Had the unlimited data and 50 gigs of hotspot plan. Boost tried to bill me 3 days early, then when they got their money I got a pop-up that said I had consumed all of my data!! They turned off my hotspot and my data!!!! My phone showed that I had used only 11 gigs of data and zero hotspot. Contacted the idiots at Boost. After 7 days I finally managed to get a habib on the line and he gave me 2 friggin gigs of data and refused to turn my hotspot on, so I guess unlimited data is 13 gigs and 50 gigs of hotspot is actually zero!!! I have since cancalled any further payments and I am considering legal action!

We had a nightmare trying to activate our phones when we signed on. They were told I must have a hotspot but when I checked I did not have it and they wanted & $10 to add it.

One of the worst customer service I have ever received. I don't care if they lose a customer. They tried to send me a an activation code for a number that wasn’t even activated. They asked so many questions to activate a new number on my profile and at the end after connecting me to here and there, told me to personally go to a store. Their customer service sucks. If I could give them zero or minus I would.

If I could give negative stars I would. From the beginning of my Boost experience my phone would drop calls and not receive text. It took boost more than a month to fix this problem. Mind you that I was without a properly working phone. Also boost advertising one price then when I get the bill it’s always more than the stated when I switched. They have predatory business practices and should be avoided at all cost.

I went with Boost Mobile after researching new phones on apple website. They had a boost promotion but after viewing the boost website the free year of service was a better option. I called the boost support to get more details and ordered the phone through boost. Now they refuse to honor the year of free service because I must have ordered through their phone support person instead of the website. However the phone support person assured me they offered the same exact benefits as the website. This is not true. The support people they use will say anything to get your order but you will not get the boost promotion I found out the hard way. Boost has no second level to appeal to, the out of country support person has the final say, apparently.

I saw the promotional $15/month for three months and transferred my son’s phone into Boost. After the payment made, they transferred his phone number over and he has SOS. I called and chatted with them, and they told us “There is nothing they can do”. His phone number is with Boost and they refused to provide him the eSIM to activate unless we gave them the kid’s SSN and birthdate for something I prepaid. We prepaid for one month. I didn’t provide that when I signed up and paid for it. Phone customer service is so rude and leave me on hold. Don’t give them your $.

I have been with Virgin Mobile, now Boost, since 2014. In 2021, I purchased a CoolPad phone through Boost online. In 2023, I replaced it with Motorola Edge that I bought online from Boost. I took it to the Boost store to activate and transfer everything over. Fast forward to February 2025, I was unable to send or receive text messages. Went to the store and that's when I was told the IMEI number was still identified as the old CoolPad.
The employee replaced the SIM card to see if the texting issue would be resolved, but still no texts or reason for the problem. Many calls and visits with Boost have left me very dissatisfied, so I decided to go to another service provider. Boost will NOT unlock my phone because they say the phone was NOT activated until 2025 (when the SIM card was replaced). I have used the Motorola since 2023, so why was the SIM card NOT changed in 2023?? Boost policy says I have to wait one year to unlock my phone that I purchased outright. I want to unlock my phone NOW and move my business elsewhere. By the way, still no reasons given for the texting issue. After 3 weeks of no messaging, it began to slowly resolve itself but still not completely.

Shopping at Wal Mart in Goldsboro NC, and saw the Boost Mobile. Never been there, wish to God I never went in, but I needed a phone. I explained to the two ** woman, I had lost my phone and needed to get into my email immediately. They never displayed any professional service, courtesy, concern, didn't really want to service you, looked at you like what can we get outa him, never even smiled or greeted me. They spoke to each other and other customers in Spanish like I wasn't there, which was rude and disrespectful since they were working with me and already had my money, and I walked around waiting for them to finish their socializing. I had lost my father yesterday and I was already in a bad state. I started having second thoughts. They never were honest, just lied about almost everything.
I asked them could I get access to my old email with this phone. She said yes. 1st lie. Next I asked, "Can I use this in Africa." She said yes with her 55 dollar a month plan, no problem. I said ok waiting for more info. But she was always give you a yes answer, no details or emotion. Just didn't care. When I waited for more details, she looked irritated. When I found out I could not access my email account without the old phone. I was not happy, and told them so angrily. And when she snatched at a piece of paper from me. She hit my last nerve. They didn't care. Their manager basically said to me tough luck no refunds, and wanted me never to come back in the store, after taking almost 250 dollars. I was angry mostly because they were like street hustlers but in a professional building. They hustled your money and give nothing back.
So later when I went overseas the phone didn't work at all?? I called 50 times for explanations. Finally I was told, we don't carry service in that part of Africa.I asked for advice this Mr. ** he said, "Go spend more money and purchase wifi and you can have Facebook and YouTube??" So when I called the location on Royall Ave. in Goldsboro the same woman lied again and angrily told me, "I told you 3 times you need to pay 20 dollars for roaming." I wasn't gonna deal with her anymore. She just pisses me off so I hung up and called cooperate. Now remember this, I purchased 3 months in advance at 55 dollars each, and they charge you 55 dollars for this cheap phone that Cellular and others give you for free, plus the activation charge??
After paying all this she says I didn't pay a mere 20 dollars for a roaming charge?? And she told me 3 times to pay it? But she let me leave the store, knowing this, after I asked her numerous times, am I good. Obvious liar. Worse service ever, and a roaming charge would not have mattered because there is no service in Ghana. All their staff I spoke with they didn't care, you just lost your money and have no service abroad. We do not do refunds is their motto. I will never go near a boost mobile ever again.

I was a Republic Wireless customer for many years. Boost acquired Republic Wireless and the service has gone down hill since. Just recently I purchased a new Galaxy Android from their Website. Paid in full. After receipt, I contacted their service line to attempt to activate the new phone. Their process has left a negative experience and I know their process by heart now because I have had to reach out to them approximately 8 times with no activation to my phone yet. It starts with a verification step, then you have to pass through an additional verification step with a PIN, then you finally reach a human being who is not able to assist.
They end up forwarding you to a more technical resource who in my case (multiple) have not been able to assist in activating my new phone. It is very frustrating. The new phone has options for eSIM or physical SIM card. Boost has tried to send me multiple eSIM's which I do not receive. Finally, they send me a physical SIM and now that is not working. They state they receive an error.

WORST CUSTOMER SERVICE on planet earth. This is NOT the first time I have had a TERRIBLE experience with Boost customer service. I have a $45 replenishment card that the entire thing scratched off- so I CAN'T READ THE CODE to use the card. Returned to Walmart with the receipt. They don't refund gift cards. Then I CALLED Boost. Nope, can't do it. Then I WENT IN PERSON to a Boost store. She called some guy at Corporate. Told me it would take 24- 48 hours to credit my account. NEVER HAPPENED. NOTHING. Went back to Boost store today- to talk to same woman. Oh, BEFORE THIS, I went to same Boost store yesterday- talked to a different lady. She said come back today.
#1- WHY didn't you just say this BEFORE I stood here for 45 minutes?
#2- She texted me 5 minutes after I left the store- she said, A) "You have to return the card to WalMart for a refund." I already tried twice. They won't refund me.
B) There is a BAR CODE on the bottom of the card- you can scan the barcode and tell that the card has not been used. SHE SAID- "No we can't track the barcode". LIES! Here's the issues - YOU CAN TRACK THE BARCODE. 2- She also said the card was WalMart's card. NO IT'S NOT. It's Boost's card as is the Pin. BOTTOM LINE - every excuse she made was just LIES. Boost Customer Service is WORSE than NO CUSTOMER SERVICE AT ALL. There's LAZY, then there's simply CRIMINAL. The Customer Service is SO LAZY that they cross the line into CRIMINALLY MALICIOUS.

Honestly the coverage was decent, I was happy after my switch from Verizon. However their advertising is misleading, it was advertised "buy a second line and it's half off for a year or but a third line and it's free for a year" so my bill should be $50 plus tax but it is not. When I spoke to them the first time I was told that it was a credit that would correct itself and I didn't need to do anything. So I just watched my account to be sure so when $75 and taxes was withdrawn from my account I immediately contacted them again. I was told this time that I had to of purchased a phone in full from them to get the promotion, which is not what they advertise. It did not say "buy a phone." It said "buy a line" which is what I did, 3 lines actually.
Ended up getting disconnected and then reconnected to a different agent, he read back through the previous conversation and this time it was I am getting the discount for the second line but not for the 3rd because I added it a few days later, not in the same order as the other 2 lines. I explained that I would understand that reasoning had it been 2 months later and not in the same billing cycle but only a few days later and using that as a reason not to honor the promotion is pretty scammish, especially when it was first I had to purchase a phone to get the discount and then 5 minutes later someone else tells me I'm getting the discount for the second line but not the third. So which is it? Does "buy a line" mean just that, you add lines to your account or does it actually mean "buy a phone."
Either way it seemed misleading and dishonest and if I stayed with them would leaving me paying twice the amount I was expecting. That experience in itself is enough for me to find another carrier. Which is disappointing because the cell signal and speeds were surprisingly decent, better than what Verizon had to offer for a third of the price. However I can't stand being mislead or feeling like I've been scammed which is what happened, I'd rather pay more to someone else than to deal with shade. So I'm leaving boost solely on their customer service antics.

On 02/11/2025, I transferred my cellular service from AT&T to Boost Mobile at the Boost mobile retailer located on Memorial Blvd in Murfreesboro. The store did not carry the Samsung S25 ultra or the iPhone 16 Pro Max that I wanted. I decided on the Motorola Razr 20 phone because of limited choices. I tried to make these phones work, but with limited storage (256mb) and problems transferring accounts and pics/videos I decided to return these Motorola devices and Upgrade to iPhone or Samsung.
On 02/16/2025, I tried to initiate at return through the store, but I was told by the sales representative that they don’t accept returns due to buyer’s remorse or due to the customer not being satisfied with the device. At that point, I called Boost customer support to try to get an explanation. AJ, the customer support representative said that “there shouldn’t be any problems returning the devices as long as they are in like new condition”. He also explained to me that Boost mobile has a 30 day satisfaction guarantee for new customers that covers service and devices. Needless to say the Boost retailer here in Murfreesboro refused to honor that guarantee leaving me in a position to now have to waste my time and resources getting them to comply.

Stay away from this carrier! They sold me a defective phone (new iPhone 16pro) and gave me two options to have the problem resolved, file a claim with the warranty provider, which wouldn’t make sense as it was defective since I got it, or contact Apple to have it fixed through the manufacturer warranty. I chose the latter, and I was only given the choice by Apple to return the defective phone to Boost and purchase a new one through them, which I did. Then Boost took well over the 10 maximum days they quoted me to refund my money after receiving my phone back, AND cancelled my monthly statement credits for purchasing the phone through them.
I sent an escalated complaint to them and when they contacted me back a month later, they would not work with me to lower the price. The only options they gave me was paying full price or going to another provider. Again, I chose the latter and purchased a plan through another carrier. When I then called Boost to discontinue my service with them, that’s when they suddenly started offering discounted monthly rates to retain my business! Too little and WAY too late! Do better Boost! On a side note, I also experienced a slight delay on phone calls, which was mildly annoying. Stay away from Boost if you don’t want headaches!

Boost was a good company at one point but over the years they have really fallen off. They don't carter to their existing customers anymore only to new customers. They don't offer lower plans or offer customer hardship assistance. You hardly ever get anyone located in the U.S and so you are treated very poorly with customer service. They have a new customer incentive for $25 forever phone plan but the existing customer can't even get that option to have a $25 phone plan. Their constant verbiage to existing customers is they are not eligible and they can't accommodate lowering your phone plan! Well as of today I'm leaving Boost Mobile as a long time customer for years. I will take my phone and money to a company that values their loyal customers. Bye Boost!!

Their service is horrible and to go into the store to get a new phone, they charge to get it hooked up. I live in grand rapids Michigan and I lose calls and can't get onto Google.

I got a phone service from Boost Mobile in their store in May. A couple of months later I transferred another line I had with another carrier over to Boost and was told the plan I chose to add the additional line would be ($30 mo). When the following month bill came out, I was charged $42 monthly for the additional line. I transferred one line back out to the previous carrier without a problem. Here's where the problem comes in. When the carrier tried to turn my service on, I was told the phone was locked that I purchased from Boost Mobile. After going back to Boost Mobile to inquire, I was nastily told that I had to stay with Boost for a year before they can unlock the phone that I purchased there. I was never informed of this when I purchased the phone that I would have to keep their service for a year, or they would keep my phone locked that I purchased. Who in their right mind would purchase a phone that they can't use.
I still have one plan with Boost Mobile that I can't even transfer if I wanted to because that line would also be locked, I am now being told. This is bad business. Consumers should be told up front that they have to stay with a carrier for a year in order to be able to use their phone that they purchased with Boost. Boost representative in the store misrepresent their price and don't give a disclosure that you have to stay with their plan a year or they won't unlock your paid phone. Should be a law against this that I will continue to research.

Boost Mobile’s customer service is the worst I’ve ever dealt with. Every time I call for help, I get transferred from one agent to another, and none of them seem to know what they’re doing. They either give vague answers, repeat the same useless troubleshooting steps, or just say there’s nothing they can do. It feels like they don’t actually care about solving my problems. I’ve spent hours on the phone with no real solution, and the live chat is just as useless. If you ever run into an issue with your service, don’t expect Boost Mobile to fix it!

Boost Mobile is the worst phone service I've ever had. Their data is never enough. If you are like me and watch a lot of videos on your phone you will quickly run out of data. Once you run out of data your phone runs slower than dial-up internet if anyone remembers that. They allow you to buy one time only data add-ons but when you run out of that you cannot purchase any more data. You are just stuck with a slow phone that will not even load a simple YouTube video. They also do not give payment extensions. I wish I would have stuck with Metro

I bought a new unlocked cell phone for a hospitalized friend who only had a landline. I wanted to give it to her functional. I paid Boost for sim card at store and chose a monthly plan. Was told the plan I chose ($25/mo) was only available online, not at Boost store. I clearly explained I was giving phone to hospitalized person who would take over payments after the first month which I paid for. Told them I did not want any recurring charges. I had to use a credit card to activate the service and pay the first month. Again I explained this was a one time only charge on my credit card. Was told no problem. 2 months later Boost charged my credit card again without my authorization. I had given the phone to intended recipient way over a month by then. She even had paid the second month of service.
Why my credit card was charged for third month is what I wanted to find out. Was told Boost had signed me up for auto pay (without my knowledge or consent). I asked how that could have happened and told them it was not a legitimate charge. They had no explanation as to how I had autopay as I insisted I never agreed to autopay. Was told on phone all they could do was turn off auto pay so that I would not be charged again in the future. Don't believe them. Unacceptable, dishonest and unwilling to work with customers and keep their promises. They use underhanded tactics like plan prices that can only be accessed online, not in their store and signing people up for auto pay without consent then refusing to reverse the charge. I will never use Boost for anything going forward.

I have been a Boost Mobile customer for 10+ years. Today I went into a store to upgrade my phone. I chose the phone, the rep rung me up and then he attempted to activate the new phone. He received an error message stating that the SIM card could not be recognized. He did several troubleshooting steps on his own, including a hard reset, but still kept receiving the same error message.
He calls customer service - the first customer service rep he spoke to for additional troubleshooting could not help him and he was basically told my account was now locked. He calls again and speaks to a different rep. Is informed that I must go through credit-based security questions to get the service unlocked. I answer the questions then they say I didn't answer correctly (trust I know my previous addresses, cars I drove, children I birthed, etc. because I was physically there but they still say I did not pass!).
So the store rep calls his direct manager who advised that we should just process a refund. Thank goodness the refund went through immediately, but here is the kicker: my existing phone no longer works! So I don't get a new phone and I can't use my existing one! After 1 1/2 hours at the store I head home and I call customer service myself. The first rep could not help me (of course because now my account is locked). I escalate up to a "supervisor" who was also no help, could not access my account or override anything, AND who hung up on me by the way. Before she hung up I was told that I have to wait 24 hours to answer the credit-based security questions again before they could help me.
My bill is paid. I am a paying customer who was only trying to get an upgrade. There is zero reason why my phone is inoperable except for their blatant incompetence. I am without a phone for 24 hours - what if I have an emergency, what if a family member needs to reach me? They don't care, they took my money and aren't giving me the service I paid for. I've literally interacted with 6 Boost employees today and not one of them could be of assistance. I'm cancelling. My advice to anyone who is considering Boost is just don't do it. They are thieves, have convoluted illogical processes and all they do is read scripts. They don't care so take your money elsewhere. I would rate 0 stars if I could!

I signed up and made my purchase, and then got an email saying I had to call and verify a bunch of information. It was annoying, but wasn’t a deal breaker. They kept taking a very long time for any updates or communication, and after almost a week of hearing very little other than instructions on additional steps that I needed to take I finally got an email saying my account was made and my phone would ship soon. Then it was followed a few hours later by an email saying that my order had been canceled, with no information as to why.
I called the number to get an explanation, and the first person told me they could just see it was canceled, but they couldn’t see why. They patched me to someone who could tell me, and after giving all my information yet again they just told me it was greyed out and they couldn’t tell me why it was canceled. I asked if I just needed to place a new order, and they just said no further steps could be taken right now.

Service has been very good, with one exception— after our initial 24 hours with Boost our phones went DEAD— couldn’t call or text on either of our phones…. But about 10 minutes later (and after shutting the phone down and turning it back on) our service returned…. Have not had a problem since, but I have no idea why both phones went dead(?)….
It is interesting that I no longer have SIM cards- I guess E-SIM is something new… (again, not sure). Anyhow, everything is working great…. Boost’s literature states that they incorporate both the AT&T network with T-Mobile’s—— one thing for sure, it is exponentially better than Verizon Wireless’s. In summary, I was able to cut my cell bill from $145/month to $50…. Why did I wait so long. Thank you Boost Mobile!

Now mind you I had a phone plan but was not given a phone number or sim card number. So I am out of my purchase amount and no phone number. And no one to help me. So be aware and stay away from Boost Mobile because their 30 day money back guarantee is a scam.

I have had nothing but problems since May 2024. Either I can't make a call, receive calls, or it's just NO network at all, emergency calls only. I've been a Boost customer since 2015, never had a problem till now. No resolution. It's frustrating.

Worst experience ever with a cell phone company. I thought Verizon had bad customer service but Boost has them beat. We placed an order online, they cancelled the order and told us to resubmit the order, we resubmitted the order and they cancelled it again. Again, they told us to resubmit it. By this time, I decided to just call and see what the problem was. The agent told us we submitted the order too much (even though they were the ones that told us to.) He proceeded to go silent for long periods of time. I kept asking what he was doing and why it was taking so long and he just kept saying it was a long process. Finally, after taking an hour of our time, they told us they couldn't process the order. The agent was rude the whole time and wouldn't keep us informed as it what he was doing.

Extremely upset with Boost. I planned to get my teen daughter a cell phone for Christmas. I saw a deal on the website, sign up with Boost and you get a deal making payments on a phone for $39 a month. I asked them the terms, etc, applied, was approved, they took my money out of my bank. (Mind you this was the only god I was able to get for her as we are not financially well).. Approval process was easy, they had me download the app, make our account, etc. the next day I get an email, the order was cancelled. I call Boost, they don't know why... They tell me try again, I try again, again they deduct the money... That night..CANCELLED AGAIN...
I CALL AGAIN. They tell me they can't see why it is being cancelled on THEIR side. It was their end that cancelled it. I said, "Well now that you withrew all of my money, I'd like a refund." I can't afford to keep trying, it's almost Christmas.. This was 12/20. They said, "Ok. We're processing your refund. It should be there shortly, at longest up to 2 days." Well here we are on the 24th... Tomorrow is Christmas, my daughter has nothing and we have no money. I call Boost again.. The nice man said.. "They like to play with your money and it most likely will be 10 days." No definitive answers, still no reason on why it was cancelled after two approved full applications. This is a joke of a company and I'm not laughing.

Boost was once good. However, I left them a year ago and now I am discontinuing another family member's service with them. The phone was broken, so I am unable to get into the account that I pay for.

I have called Boost and they ask each time for my full Social Security number over the phone and answering credit type questions to not even be able to access my account after the 2 hour phone calls. A minor's cell phone is broken and they send a passcode to it. It is ridiculous.
I tried to purchase a new phone and it would not go through and I was sent from representative to representative to representative to representative. It should not be this difficult.

I purchased an iPhone 13 during Boost Mobile’s Black Friday promotion for $99 (total $155 with taxes). The phone was never delivered and was returned to the sender without my consent, even though my address was correct. I was home all day, and my security cameras confirm UPS never attempted delivery. When I contacted customer service, I was initially assured on a recorded call that Boost Mobile would honor the promotion since the delivery issue wasn’t my fault. However, I was transferred multiple times, and the final manager, Victor from New Mexico, refused to honor the agreement, demanded an additional $600 for the same phone, and told me to file a complaint because they wouldn’t assist further.
I have recorded calls, screenshots proving the phone was returned to Boost, and confirmation that my address was correct. Boost Mobile’s refusal to deliver the phone I purchased is a clear breach of contract and demonstrates deceptive business practices. They failed to honor their commitment, misled me, and wasted my time with false assurances. I urge others to think twice before trusting their promotions. Boost Mobile has shown they don’t value their customers or their own agreements. Buyer beware!

Until recently I have had nothing but positive things to say about Boost Mobile. I enjoyed the customer service, the phone service they provided, and the ability to upgrade my phone for free each year. However, my most recent experience has left me wondering whether or not I want to continue being a Boost customer. I recently decided to upgrade to the iPhone 16 Pro Max. My troubles did not begin until my new phone was set to arrive, and I was informed that I would require someone to be home to sign for the order.
Unfortunately, the item was shipped with UPS, and they were unable to provide a specific delivery time window for me, so when they tried to deliver, I was at work, as it was a weekday, during the day. I reached out to UPS to see what options there were, in terms of waving the requirement of a signature, or potentially me picking it up at the UPS store, and they informed me that the shipper (Boost Mobile) had placed restrictions on the shipment, so the delivery options could not be changed whatsoever. But they did tell me that the shipper (Boost) could call them, and waive the restriction, but I could not do anything on my end. I then decided to reach out directly to Boost, and was shocked when they told me that they were unable to provide me with any option whatsoever.
They could not even cancel my order, and allow me to have it shipped to UPS store for pickup. The only option they offered me, was that when UPS tried to deliver my item again, if I was unavailable, my product would be sent back, and I would get a refund. They offered me no option in terms of getting the item picked up from a UPS store, or potentially picking up from a Boost Mobile store.
I find it extremely shocking and inconvenient that there are literally no option other than me having to take an entire day off of work, so I can sit around and wait for UPS to arrive in order to receive my item. I have bought several high-priced items over the years, and I have never run into an issue like this. Typically there is always an option to either pick it up at a retail store, or pick it up at the shipper store, or even wave signature requirements, but none of this was an option to Boost Mobile. This experience has left a really bad taste in my mouth, due to the lack of their ability to help me whatsoever.
Now I am tasked with the difficult choice to take the entire day off of work, simply so I can receive my new phone. And am questioning whether or not I want a customer with Boost. It is not realistic for companies to expect there, sit at home all day, waiting for their orders to arrive. I understand these policies are enacted with the security of the customer in mind, but it is completely ridiculous that I did not even have the option to reschedule my package for a different day, or get any update on the timeframe my package is delivered, due to the restrictions placed on UPS by Boost. There is no security risk whatsoever involved in allowing me to reschedule my package be delivered for a different day.

I inherited this service when Verizon sold the company to Boost, so Boost was not something I originally chose. I would probably have never chosen them, but for the most part, the actual service has been good. However, be wary of ordering a phone from them. I ordered the phone seven days ago and my credit card was debited five days ago, but I have received no communication from them at all, no order confirmation. I called, but I literally could not understand the representative AT ALL, a combination of a phone company's phones cutting in and out (how ironic), and a VERY thick accent. From what I could glean, I should have got an email when I ordered, but I did not (yes, this IT professional checked the spam folder). She confirmed they have my correct email.
The only thing I can figure is that their system is not sending out the automated emails. The representative has no way to resend the order confirmation email, a very crucial requirements functionality that was missed when their system was designed; how is a representative supposed to help the customer at all? I still don't know if they have my order or when it will be sent. I asked to speak to a manager, hoping I would get someone with better English, but apparently the manager was too busy. Really, do NOT order a phone from them!!!! Thinking I may have to switch to a different service and contest the debit charge with my credit card company.

When I purchased a phone from them, they promised a device that would give and receive calls. They need to be shut down for lying and fraudulently taking people's money and not providing the service. I feel like I was completely taken advantage of. Please help!

Don't do it! Just walk away! They are getting as greedy as Netflix! It always starts for the people and then someone gets all star eyed for dollar signs. Go to Mint Mobile. It's 15 a month guys! Boost refuses to release my numbers til x amount of time. Sounds like a contract if you ask me.

It took over an hour with customer service to cancel my account. The customer service representative was more interested in selling me an upgrade than listening to me. It was a very unpleasant experience.

I was scammed by the Boost Mobile store in Georgetown, Kentucky. I did a in-store offer for a iPhone 11 eight months ago for $29.99 and I ported my number. And I also had to purchase a $60 plan. They put me on a plan that Had to do with Mexico. Why would I purchase that and they also put me on a family plan. Long story short I’m not allowed to change my plan which I can’t afford. I did not finance this phone. I do prepaid. I use my debit card to pay for this purchase. I have had issues with my card ever since. Today I will be filing a report with a Better Business Bureau and trying to contact boost Mobile corporate office.

The worst cell phone company that exists on Earth, the worst customer service since I went with them because they offered a good deal on an iPhone but it was the worst since I lost even the numbers that I had transferred, I only lasted 3 days with them, the worst signal that exists, the data doesn't work and the 30-day guarantee, they deceive you since they say they will return the money, they only return less than half the money you paid, I don't know how, there are still people who have service with them, I don't understand since the service is terrible everywhere.

I truly Wish that there was a Negative option!! Worst service known to US soil! The quality of their phone service reflecting their customer service care. I’ve been hung up on numerous times. I’ve called on numerous occasions the same issue and I’m always given the runaround. Still as of 102524 phone service is beyond poor quality. They’re overcharging people for bad phone service. I’ve lost money due to late text messaging client due to not be able to access the web and a reasonable speed. If at all, I truly would give Boost Mobile phone service and Customer Care a -5.

Something has gone terribly wrong over at Boost. We had a great experience for years, but over the last few months it has really changed. My brand new phone started losing connection to their network, I could not call, text, or even contact customer service. When I called a month ago, they told me they had done a network upgrade and needed me to input new codes in my phone to make it work, so they walked me through it and after over an hour, I could use my phone. Keep in mind, no warning, no notice.
Today it happened again and this time they told me that my new phone's sim card was out of date and I had to buy a new one. I pay every month for phone service, I should not have to pay extra so my phone will connect to their network - it's a Boost phone after all. So that was it, we cancelled our service. My phone is new and locked, I know that, but my husband's phone is paid for and over 18 months old and they are refusing to unlock it, essentially holding his phone number hostage! Since he needs it for work, we were forced to buy a new phone from the new carrier. This is terrible, and I can no longer reccomend them and in fact, I say- get out.

It's always the case, misinformation!! Once they told me they don't have roaming in Canada although I checked before traveling but the agent was like roaming could mean roaming between States!! Now I ordered a phone and I know I won't be home to sign for receiving so I asked them if they can hold it at a UPS location the answer was “I have to do that directly with UPS”. I check with the shipping company and they let me know that Boost has restricted any changes to the shipment and they are the only one who can make any changes. So chatted with Boost again and they were only apologizing for the misinformation and for not being able to change the shipping instructions!! Very poor customer service, not knowledgeable and misleading

I've been with Boost since 2015,and they were great until the NewBoost went live. My latest episode is that the sales team which by the way is and I'm guessing not a part of the rest of any other team, called me with a new promo, that wasn't for existing customers. But sold it to me anyway under a different email (their suggestion) then created a 2nd account with all the information from the original account, just added some lines. Turned off the service to the original account which I had to pay again while I waited on Sim cards. So out of frustration I canceled the whole new order and was told that I was receiving a credit. Which they processed. Charged me again and zeroed out the credit.
When I spent 2 and a half hours on the phone with them 3 hangups and about 15 transfers. It changed from a credit to a refund, but I can clearly see that it was a credit to my boost account. Now telling me to check with my bank which I do every day. Did that now tell me I need to wait for a refund that was never issued. Their statement clearly shows that they credited to the phone number and used it to pay a balance that I didn't owe! Who should I contact my attorney or the BBB?

I bought the introductory offer of Boost Mobile for $12.50 and got the SIM card in the mail in a couple of days. I had to wait a couple of days to try to Port my number in. To my surprise the card claimed to have been activated and a number of signed but I don't know what the number is and was never given the number. Trying to call boost requires you to have your phone number and receive a text message. I was unable to log on to the website and I was unable to cancel my service because I didn't have a phone number to receive a text from and they apparently have no other type of verification process available. Fortunately I was able to get in far enough to turn off auto pay and I can just let it expire. Absolutely miserable experience with overseas call centers trying to get this handled

Poor coverage, poor customer service, and by far the worst experience with a cell carrier that I've ever had - and that includes time spent living and traveling in developing nations. Do not be fooled by the marketing and paid-for industry reviews. Save your money and time, and go with a different carrier.

I have been with Boost Mobile for over five years, and now I am very dissatisfied with the service. For two months, I have noticed that my service does not work in the morning after I charge my phone at night. The phone will have emergency calls only and the 5G has a small x in its place. I will have to restart the phone and wait a minute or two for the service to come back up. I have called customer service about the problem too many times to count and even been to the mobile store but the problem continues. I have even replaced the SIM card but the issue is still happening. Today is Oct 18, 2024, and I have not restarted the service since I took it off the charger at 8 o'clock this morning and I have no service. I will be going to the mobile store this morning so they can see for themselves what I am having a problem with. I am very tired of this issue that seems to not go away.

I decided to switch to Mint Mobile. I called them and was told that it is was a simple process. I needed my account # from Boost Mobile find out if my phone was unlocked and get a pin # to transfer my phones to Mint. I called Boost and was given my account # and told that my phone was unlocked and given a pin #, I asked if I needed a pin # for each of my phones and I was told that the pin # was good for phone ending in **. Both of my phones end in **.
Next I called Mint Mobile and started the transfer process. They used the information provided and the pin # was not accepted. I called Boost back and got another pin #, that did not work and I was given a 3rd pin # and this time it worked. Pin #'s are only good for 4 days! One phone working, I used working phone to get 2nd phone transferred. Phone transferred on 2nd pin #! Now I'm trying to get phone unlocked. Told to wait 48 hours, still not unlocked, I'm currently on my 3rd 48 hours and my phone is still locked. The guys in the back room that unlock phones cannot be communicated with and no such thing as expediting the 48 hour wait! Plus 9 hours on phone back and forth between Mint and Boost. Please hold for 30 minutes, please hold for 22 minutes!

I called Boost to get two lines started and a phone. I have never had an experience where I had to be transferred 5 times and they wanted to transfer me again and I just hung up. I said I want to have two lines and buy a phone and not even something simple as that I could get the correct assistance for. I would never do business with a place that cannot get it right to have business and make money. Create better processes. Very annoying. None of the calls got me to even half way through. Every call they asked my name and what I was calling for then get transferred to be asked the same thing to be transferred again. Y'all should get 0 stars

Since Boost Mobile and Boost Infinity have combined it's become a total joke. I've been a Boost Mobile customer for over 7 years with four lines on a family plan. I recently bought a $900 S24. When I swapped it over with the phone I was changing it with I called to get protection insurance on the phone and have been given the runaround ever since. They escalated it to the back office where you can't talk to anybody to put the insurance protection on the phone. I haven't got an email or anything from them. I called back again today and they said it will be done the next day. So today I told them start the return process so I can get a full refund on this phone. It seems they now have no value to long-term Boost Mobile customers. I think it's time for me to take my family plan to another company. Because Boost is turning into a giant junk.

Essentially, had been with Boost a year and a half. Got called in to qualified upgrade. They kept chipping my new phone with no luck. No service with new phone. Would not replace phone with white chip. After one week I was basically told, "There's nothing more we can do." Was forced out to another carrier. Either they didn't care or just totally incompetent. The 2 reps were new in this office. Left $100 lost and no phone service.
