    They pull my credit. I have perfect credit. Order was done. The next day I receive an email stating I order couldn’t be processed and was cancelled. I call and they couldn’t give me any reason why. Robert from customer service was not professional and would not let me speak to a supervisor. I’ve had AT&T for 15 yrs. Never missed a payment nor cut off. Was getting my step son a phone who lives hrs away. Boost is horrible! Don’t recommend them at all!

    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.

    So TODAY- she is with another customer. I wait and wait and wait, for nearly an hour. Occasionally, I speak briefly to her while waiting. She says, oh, she's waiting on the call from Mike or whatever at corporate. He needs to get back to her. FINALLY, I say, "Ok, well should I come back?" No, she says, "I'll text you."
    #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. I'm OUT $45 through NO FAULT OF MY OWN. And they just DO NOTHING. SCUM-BAGS!

    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.

    I've had Boost Mobile for years. I have never had to reach out to customer service ever before. Today, I had to reach out to them. I recently lost my job and I do not get my last check until Friday. My bill is due on Wednesday. I asked if they can extend my billing date to Friday, and they said they do not have an option for that, and if I do not make my payment right away, my phone will be shut off immediately. They refused to escalate the matter to a supervisor and made it sound like I was unimportant to them. They couldn't even look up my account by name, only a number. The experience was horrible and the interaction/treatment was inexcusable. I'd suggest taking your hard earned money and go to Visible/Xfinity, T-mobile or even AT&T. Don't waste your money with Dish Network/Boost Mobile!!!

    The phone is lost or stolen and I am trying to cut the service. I got thru to someone who connected me to the "right department". I was kept on hold for almost 3 hrs. I think this was deliberate because they don't want to cut the service. They want to keep on collecting the money although I told them that my son no longer has the phone at his residential school.

    I had a terrible experience with this company. They collected all my personal information—literally everything, including my driver's license, Social Security number, bank details, address, and email—only for my order to be canceled. When I called customer service, they had no idea how or why this happened and provided me with a number to request a refund. After continuously calling for a week, they again took all my information, including my cards, and then claimed it was due to a "security reason." This is beyond frustrating! What kind of business operates like this? It feels like a total scam within the networking industry.

    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. MY ADVICE: SHOP ONLINE AND RUN FROM BOOST MOBILE ON MEMORIAL BLVD IN MURFREESBORO, TN.

    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!!

    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 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!

    HORRIBLE!!!!!

    1) Dec 2024 I tried to purchase the "free phone plan" online but I was assigned a new number although I SPECIFICALLY said I am keeping the number I have had for 20 YEARS!

    2) I went to store in MD and the sales guy charged me twice, then tried complaining to his manager Jessica in Spanish, not knowing I could understand what he said about me!!!

    3) Outsourced "customer service" overseas - IMPOSSIBLE to comprehend their accents & they hang up when I ask for a manager!! Then say I have to wait 30 minutes to call them back because my account is blocked!!!

Sorry we gave you transfer pin but you have to stay with boost. I WAS PISSED OFF!!! Why would Boost have THEIR employees lie just to make a sale? How long have they been deceiving the public for their business and money? I am very upset and I feel disrespected when the manager laughed and said “sorry about that”.

    I purchased a line with Boost on December 6, 2024 and was told that it would be activated within a few minutes and then that time kept getting longer and longer so eight hours later still no eSIM. I told boost account specialist to cancel it because I have no service at this point on my phone and have waited far too long as it was and I have to have a phone I can use obviously but they never canceled it. They were stalling for some reason so after I told them to cancel it I then activated a physical Sim that I had with a separate carrier that came line on it which I was trying to avoid because it’s much more costly than boost.

    But sure enough about 6+ hours after activating the separate carrier line, boost sent me a notification to activate my eSIM that I told them to cancel six hours prior but guess what… The phone number on that eSIM from boost was identical to my phone number that I had On my physical SIM with the separate carrier that I had activated roughly 6 hours prior minus the last digit which is impossible unless done so intentionally and also it is unethical and illegal for boost to do that..

    I have contacted countless times since date of purchase to have that line canceled and they keep saying it is but it’s not and then I got charged yesterday for $25 for this line that I do not use and have not ever use and have proof of telling customer service to cancel it and them telling me that they did have talked to boost customer service on Facebook messenger Confirming the same. There is proof there as well. You guys say you can’t refund me because you have no notes regarding the cancels request but ignore the proof on the Facebook customer service chat with boost and And the fact that I have recordings. I record all of my calls. The icing on top.. I'm being taunted and mistreated via Facebook by boost customer service. No wonder they’re on the bottom of the totem pool because they suck!

    Abysmal, and I’m honestly glad they just canceled my order so I’m not stuck with them. I’ve been using Mint Mobile and have had no problems, but I was going to change to Boost for their deal on a new phone. 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. If it was this much hassle just to be rejected for no apparent reason then I’m thankful that I didn’t go through with it and get stuck in a contract with such an awful company.

    One year ago I signed up for the Boost unlimited deal which includes a free iPhone every year. All year long I have paid toward that phone and after one year I am able to trade it for a new one. I started the process of getting a new phone. Once the new phone arrived I shipped my older iPhone 15 (undamaged) in the small package they provided that that did not provide much protection. About a month after shipping the old iPhone I received a bill of $816 dollar for the phone. They claimed the phone got damaged but will not provide any evidence or reason for the claim. I have talked to numerous people and nobody will help me resolve the issue. I have even asked for the “damaged” phone back seeing how they are making me pay for it. This is a lot of money to pay for a phone especially if I can’t keep it. I am mostly upset that the phone was sent undamaged and they are not providing damage evidence and are making me pay the full price of the phone.

    I deeply regret switching from T-Mobile to Boost Mobile—it has been nothing short of a nightmare. The customer service is absolutely the worst I have ever encountered. The process of switching to an eSIM was an endless, frustrating ordeal. After hours on the phone, being transferred between the verification department and the security department, answering invasive questions, and providing sensitive personal information from my credit report, they still couldn’t resolve my issue. Instead, they told me to visit an in-store branch. Despite all this effort, I still have no service.

    Boost Mobile is a complete disaster. They waste your time, money, and patience. Their inability to handle even basic customer issues is appalling. Save yourself the frustration and avoid Boost Mobile at all costs. Switching to them was the biggest mistake I’ve made in a long time. DO NOT MAKE THE SAME MISTAKE I DID.

I asked the CSR could I call back tomorrow she said no I can never be verified which is ridiculous.

Turn out you can't pay the internet prepaid bill anywhere except in-store. Can't pay through their website and if you end up going through the actual internet provider to pay the bill, the bill for prepaid service is more than what is contracted for. You end up paying MORE money for the same service. It's a terrible system that suckers people in with promises of a set price point and then you can't get anything done.

    When we decided to cancel our accounts and go with another carrier in November, they conveniently "missed" that we wanted to cancel our accounts (despite the fact that my husband was on the phone for several hours with the process of switching) and then charged us for two months. When we called in January, they kept my husband on the phone for over an hour, refused to refund those two months (because they had no "proof" that we had canceled), and rather than listening and canceling, they kept trying to give us offers rather-despite the fact that we have had a different carrier for two months already.

    The run-around brought my normally sweet and calm husband (who is a nurse and well-practiced in defusing tension) to the point of shouting obscenities into the phone at the customer service representatives over the refusal to refund the two months and repeatedly yelling "PLEASE JUST CANCEL MY ACCOUNTS." It was an awful experience and makes us wish we had canceled when Republic switched to Boost.

    I reside in Erie County, Ohio (North Central Ohio)…. Had Verizon Wireless, but for the past year and one half Verizon phone service has been atrocious! I believe it had something to do with Verizon’s new 5g (and yes, I have iPhone 13’s which are compatible). Finally made the move to Boost about a week ago. 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!

I tried calling in recently to change my number because I was overwhelmed with the amount of spam calls coming in and I run a business. A representative from another country got on the phone and gave me a number on another state. I lost my Georgia line and he refused to help me and told me I had to wait 30 days before I could change it again. It's impacting my business and I'm very upset that Boost Mobile allows poorly trained people to handle their customers this way and causes major inconveniences in their lives because of it. Not only that people can't reach me on a number that should have been attached to my name, not someone else's.

    Had trouble activating their phone. (Purchased in Vermont, traveling through Montreal) Never activated, claimed they couldn't verify it was in fact me. But they had no trouble finding me when it was time to charge for service they never provided. Cancelled service two weeks later upon return home. They claimed they could not credit the amount charged because they had assigned a number. (Although they couldn't tell me what that number was. When I cancelled service the very polite representative asked if I wanted to cancel the "recurring" monthly charge too. Use caution!

    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. To verify the account, it sends the broken phone a pin number that I cannot get. It will not send it to my email. 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 think the person who pays the bill should maybe get another way to verify the account through their own phone or even email address. This might ease some people’s minds to get Boost. Just do not break your phone.

    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!

After 3 separate phone calls totaling a couple of hours of my time they finally told me that I'd been approved and provided me with an order confirmation number. The agent told me my new phone would be mailed out in a couple of days.

    The next morning I received an email indicating that my order had been canceled with no other explanation. After calling in I was told that they can't provide any information about why my order was canceled. For context I have excellent credit.

    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.

Give them 10 days they’re gonna opening and investigation which they never did Phone still isn’t here and they’re expecting me now to wait another 10 days because on their end it shows they opened up the investigation a couple days ago however I’ve called about this situation for five times. I repeat this do not go for a cheaper phone bill because you’ll end up losing in the long run Until this is rectified.

    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.

    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.

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!

    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

    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.

    Ever since dish network purchased Boost it has become terrible. In the past, Boost had offered me and my family upgrades for phones for little or no cost. This year I received not one, but two emails offering me a new Samsung Galaxy A25 5g for $25 on an in store purchase. I thought it was a great deal. I went to the boost store in our town and asked for the deal. First I was hit with the $35 activation charge. I still thought it was a decent deal so I agreed. Then I was told that I was not eligible for this deal and that the phone is now $299. Nowhere in the email does it say $299. I agreed to the extra $35 as it was part of the fees the email mentioned, but now $299 + $35 activation? The lady at the store said that she could switch my plan to an unlimited plan for $60 a month and get my new phone, later on if I wanted my old plan I could just switch back. I foolishly agreed. I was told to wait a few days. I waited.

    I went back 2 days later only to be told I had to wait until October 6, the beginning of my new cycle to get my phone. So I would now have to pay $60/ month and would not be allowed to get my phone for 10 days? I said I no longer wanted the new phone and to switch me back to my current plan. That's when they said they couldn't do that. That the only plan I was on was just a limited time offer. I couldn't believe what was going on. I felt like I was at a nightmare used car dealership and this was just a bait and switch. The owner of the store approached me and I explained my situation and how this was completely unfair and just, for lack of a better word, scammy. He then asked if I was attached to my existing phone number, I said no and that I just want my old plan back. He made that happen, but not before I had to PAY $25 as a "new" customer. Really? I've been with this company 8 years.

    The dish network corporate representative was in the office behind a glass where I could see her and made no attempt to Internet Intervene to help a dissatisfied customer. No, she allowed this farce to play out. I will rehab with this company because I was blessed to receive $25/ month FOREVER plan and until I have another better deal with a better company, I will remain. I hope and pray that dish sells boost to a company with a good reputation and has solid business practices. There is a reason DirecTV is the superior satellite service and dish is not. They are of low quality and have no business in business. Buyer beware.

    I used to love this service but when I got suckered into getting a new phone because it needed to be"5G" though my area doesn't even cover 5G so that's where the problems started. I do not like the camera on it, the pictures are always blurry. My phone freezes constantly and I never had that issue with any other phone I have had through Boost. Now I am also paying double for "extra space" which I feel should be automatically with a new phone any way. So you basically doubled my bill for crappier service so I will be dropping you and going elsewhere.

Then, after being there for a hour and her still not figuring out what was going on with my phone she came back on the line and said. I used all my data. How when you just stated I only used 4gb prior? I had been with Boost for 3 years and this was the worst customer service I’ve encountered.

I was barely getting two bars. And today I decided to switch to att. I'm still staying on hold with customer service - almost 40 min.

Well, the representative is very inexperienced, he keeps me hold for all this time to connect with his supervisor repeating the same phrase: my supervisor is assisting other customers! Isn't it beautiful to waste my and att representative's time for a simple request to speak to a supervisor? Like, what kind of nationwide business it is that has just ONE supervisor constantly helping other customers while there are two people waiting on phone? This "business" is ridiculous.

    The coverage was fine, but when it came time to switch providers (I got a better deal thru my internet provider) they refused to let my account go so I could switch over easily. I was told the process would be an easy transfer but Boost mobile dragged it out for two whole days. When I put in the new SIM card, they locked my phone so I couldn't access any features. When I called to get it unlocked, they told me it would take 24-72 hours. Thankfully it only took 12, but then I still couldn't switch to my new provider because Boost simply refused to respond to the request.

    With the help of a representative, I got Boost on the phone and it took literal HOURS of being on hold to get transferred to the right person who would finally release my account. It felt like a complete and utter waste of time, more importantly it felt like a ploy tactic to keep me from switching services, and it was incredibly frustrating to boot. I don't recommend ever starting an account with Boost Mobile because when it comes time for you to leave, they act like an abusive spouse that won't give you your things to keep you from leaving.

    For a year of dealing with Boost Mobile, I enjoyed the service. After ordering the IPhone 16 pro max, as part of my contractual agreement, my order was placed and approved. A few days later, I was contacted by “Boost Mobile” (BM) and asked outrageous questions that have nothing to do with my order. Questions BM agents told me they never ask (ex. What type of house do I rent, one floor or two, etc.). These calls went on for 3 days. When I called 611 (a legit way to get through to your carrier), I was put through to BM. I was sent various emails regarding my order, and told that it was being processed, as well as agents telling me the order was being processed and the money being taken out.

    After long hrs of being given the run around about my concerns, specifically that a phone number (1-888-341-1804) that BM says is not connected to them, yet they have a system set up just like BM, I was told that they couldn’t do anything about it. Even the security personnel stated that they couldn’t do anything. With such a security breach, you would like to believe that BM would look into it, but not the case. They turned a blind eye, and in the end, after all my complaints, they decided to cancel my order and telling me they couldn’t tell me why due to security reasons. Security over my purchase? Security over the contractual agreement that I signed with BM? Outrageous.

    In all my time of giving reviews on Google (my next review place) I have only given one other bad review. This is my second. With a phone company that is being hacked by a number BM stated was not theirs, and they decided they couldn’t do anything, one would definitely give the greatest pause from purchasing from them. Even with the lapse in cell service in certain places, I still stuck with BM. After all the hassles and skirting around security issues, I am finishing out my term with BM and going elsewhere. I highly recommend everyone to do the same, because someone has a system out there that BM does not recognize as theirs; call BM yourself by dialing 611 (if you have BM). They will verify that they are not associated with that number, even though that 1-888 number above can illegally access their system, yet they can’t do anything about it.

    In the end, I was told to buy the phone outright if I wanted it; a way to not have to deal with an issue of such magnitude. And for security reasons, they can’t tell me why they cancelled my order, that was under a contractual agreement!!! I do not want anyone to base your review on this, but do your own research by contacting BM regarding the above 1888 number. Call that imposter number yourself; a number that every associate and security and supervisors that I spoke with stated does not belong to them. But they actually chose to do nothing about my concerns, but to vindictively cancel my order.

    I’ll have another company buy out the contract and end by term with them, if I can legally do so. Otherwise, I’ll bide my time and get out when I legally can from a contract that BM really doesn’t care about, despite their countless ways of trying to tell you they appreciate your business; just not your concerns, which should have people steer clear from purchasing from. If it weren’t for imposters hacking into their system, that they acknowledged was not connected to them, and BM not willing to act on, I wouldn’t be given this review. I even told them to expect this review, if they didn’t look into my complaint. Various agents, high up in security, said they couldn’t access my account , and when I challenged them that the ones under them had, they simply said, sorry we can’t.

    I have never in all my years of dealing with consumers, retailers, etc, had to deal with such a broad range of staff that really had no concern for this issue. They even stated that they couldn’t, even on their own, call that number to see that I’m not some crazy person making all of this up! I challenge every person reading this to do your own research on this. Call 611 and try to verify if the number is legit to BM. Then you yourself call the above 1888 number, and you will verify all in here. And try to call BM about it afterwards and get some resolution? Not happening; even after speaking with the top security specialist on the job. This will allow you to verify all of this that I’m basing my review on.

    I can guarantee that anyone reading this, would themselves, want to investigate this matter before even contemplating BM as a safe phone carrier. For me, I’m done as soon as I can legally get out. At this point, I’d give BM a 0 if it allowed; especially after all the “I don’t have accesses” to your account denials, that they surely have access to!!

    I purchased a Galaxy A15 from an authorized Boost Mobile Dealer on May 31, 2024. My phone was stolen at the end of August and the culprit got into my account changing my personal information. Called Boost and was told they couldn't help recover my account and number because I couldn't verify the updated profile information. The agent I spoke with on the phone told me she couldn't assist unless I gave them the correct information which I didn't know because my account was hijacked. I explained to them my phone was stolen/hijacked, they referred me to a store. I went to the store where I purchased my phone, spoke to the man who sold/activated my phone, and showed him my statement ID. He referred me back to the customer service. Who again referred me back again.

    That phone number was used with all my financial and personal online accounts and I wasn't able to access my money for over a week. I had to get a new phone then pain-stakingly regain access to all my accounts. Also, I have autopay set up and they won't let me change that option and will be charged for another month's service. I've called Boost numerous times supplying them with all my information (including the IMEI) but they will not help me in this matter. In essence losing a paying customer (I will never do business with Boost again) and keeping a customer who most likely won't pay the monthly bill. This situation could've been handled much differently and I should've been easily verified. Boost refused to help me recover my number/account caused me a lot of stress, aggravation, as well as financial losses. I know I'm not the only person experiencing such hardship and Boost Mobile has to do better.

    I received a phone, an Apple iPhone 15 pro Max from Boost Mobile after ordering it online. It was very important to Port my number over to this new phone. I received the phone on a Monday and was unable to get the esim to connect with the phone. That same day that I received the phone I had to speak with five customer service Representatives including supervisors and the advanced technological team and they all sent or tried to send a Sim information to the phone. Nothing was ever received so I was told by one representative to wait 2 hours and then it would work and after 3 hours I called back and I was told, "Well you need to wait up to 6 hours." Then I called back an hour after that because I needed the phone immediately and I got a supervisor finally and the supervisor said, "Well we've already issued too many esims and it's bogged down the system so you'll have to wait overnight and it should work fine the next day."

    So I did and the next day the phone still did not work so I called back and after 5 and a half hours of wasting my time and my life trying to get the esim to work customer service representative after customer service representative after being transferred at least seven times and getting supervisor after supervisor they all told me I needed to continue to wait, so I did. On the third day it was still not working so I called again. Now granted every representative that I had spoken with over the previous two and a half days gave me a different response and a different answer so on the third day I got another supervisor which told me, "We can't issue any more Sims. Maybe you should take it into the store." So I did I took it into the store to which they replied, "You ordered this online. There's nothing we can do in the store," but he did call customer service and on his end try and get help to no avail.

    So I came back home, got on the phone again with another customer service representative that could barely speak English and I insisted on a supervisor and by this time after 3 days of telling the story at least 25 to 30 times they finally transferred me to the advanced technological department and I spoke with a representative named Derek who spoke English, I was shocked but he was very nice and he tried and tried to no avail so he said, "We need to get apple on the phone," so we got on a three-way conference call to Apple for an hour and 45 minutes. They ran a remote diagnostic test and came to the conclusion that it was a defective phone and there was absolutely nothing we could do about it so he suggested that I send it back and then within 30 days they will check it out and fix it and send it back to me.

    What he failed to understand at the time was I needed this phone 3 days ago so after much consideration and frustration the representative from boost, Derek and I decided to go ahead and return the phone for a refund and just go ahead and place an order for a new phone which I would have to pay the taxes on it again. They refuse to do it any other way so after paying the new taxes $114 again to get this phone I thought it was solved. They had said I would have the phone by Friday and I agreed to that.

    Well on Thursday I called to check the status and they said the phone was on hold and it would be on hold for up to 14 business days. Once it was not on hold they could ship it out ground and it would be an additional three to five business days which was totally unacceptable. They had the phone in stock but for some reason they put a hold on it. Oh and I forgot to mention when I spoke with the Apple executive he told me that the phone that I purchased from boost, was showing fraud and it was not showing that it was coming from dish boost. So he asked me where I purchased the phone from and I said I got it from boost and he said, "Well that's not what I'm showing," so there is fraud protection on it. I did not get it from Amazon or Walmart or anybody on the street. I got it directly from the boost website. And it was defective.

    Okay so when I called to get a tracking number for the new phone I was informed it was going to be on hold like I stated and I said, "You know what? I need a phone today. I actually needed it 4 days ago so cancel the order, return my money since nothing has shipped and it wouldn't shipped for three more weeks and I would go to another provider," so I chose to go to Verizon and Verizon tried to Port the number over and it said fraud protection so the Verizon representative and I called boost a total of three times to which they gave the same port ID pin each time and each time it came back showing fraud protection.

    Well boost is saying they don't have any way of putting fraud protection on there and they don't know what Verizon was talking about. Once again complete ignorance because they do know how to put fraud protection on a phone number. Finally Friday at 6:30 p.m. after working on this situation since Monday morning and speaking with a total of 27 Representatives, supervisors and technical help and being lied to by almost every one of them that could speak English that is, I was hung up on multiple times, I was threatened and still ended up not getting the phone number ported because of this fraud protection that boost said they have no clue how it happened or why it happened because they don't know how to do that which was a bald-faced lie.

    I finally was able to get a new line and a new phone through Verizon and Nicole with Verizon was very, very nice stayed on the phone with me almost 2 hours because we contacted boost again on conference call three times trying to get the number Port pin. Long, long stressful story short I had to get a new number. Now I told boost the day before when I canceled the order after they told me it would be 3 weeks before I could get the phone I told them to initiate a refund immediately and they are saying they cannot issue the refund until I return the phone.

    I had already made it clear I canceled the order because they said they could not ship out the phone for more than 2 weeks but because these people have no education and do not speak English. All she kept repeating was, "When you return the phone we will issue a refund," to which I replied every time, "I don't have the phone, you have the phone in your Warehouse somewhere. I canceled the order because it was not going to ship for 2 to 3 weeks." She hung up on me so I called back and I got a supervisor the supervisor said the exact same thing that I had already called and that they could not issue a refund until the phone was returned, the phone that was never even shipped to me, the phone that I never received so how am I supposed to ship a phone back to them that I never received and that was never shipped out?

    So now I am out $200 for the initial payment for the phone, no phone, they are refusing to allow me to Port my number over to Verizon and this was total emotional abuse after being lied to and hung up on and just dealing with people who maybe at the most had a third grade education. So the moral of the story is do not trust Boost Mobile. Their service sucks. Their supposed customer service sucks, they lie, they tell you what they think you want to hear, they talk over you, and they just randomly make up crap that makes no sense whatsoever so save your time and your sanity and do not ever contact them no matter how good their supposed specials are because now I'm going to have to employ an attorney to get my money back for the phone that I never received that they keep telling me to return so be careful and don't use boost mobile.

    If I had to give them a rating between and 1 and 5 Stars my rating would be negative 500. They have put so much emotional stress on me because of their ignorance, their lies and their incompetence. I am so stressed out and have not been able to do anything that I needed to do all week because of their incompetence. Beware of boost Mobile.

    Boost Mobile are scammers. I bought Galaxy A15 over the phone and they canceled the order. The phone was returned back to them via UPS. My phone bill was due a few days later and it was taken off my card $58 on 9-5-2024. The money for the phone I never got was deposited back to my card six days later. They terminated my service sending a email saying that I didn’t pay my bill but it shows on my card it was paid. I called them and they replied I cost them money by getting my refund for the galaxy so they terminated my service because of it which makes no sense. They stole my money and refused to cut back on my service or refund me my $58. They are crooks, liars and thieves.

    I have been with Boost since 2022, and I recently decided to switch carriers because I wanted a more reliable and faster service with a lower cost. Well, my account was setup for autodrafts on September 6th which is when my bill was due. I was due a refund because I canceled my account with them on the 6th of September. Upon asking for my refund, I was told by customer service that I don't get one because my account is no longer active. What does that have to do with anything? My service wasn't on for an entire month, so I am due a prorated refund! Even if they deduct one day, I am still due a refund. They are saying it's their policy not to issue it once the account is no longer active. Thieves! That doesn't make sense! Don't use Boost and if you do, be aware that they will keep your money if you decide to go to another carrier even when a refund is due!

    The service is horrible, the phones act up within a couple of months of purchase but charge all this money for a phone then the Internet goes out for hours at a time, doesn't work at all, I'm about done with Boost.

    I added my son to my plan at the end of the month, 6 days before my next billing cycle. It was half off the first month of the $25 plan. So, I paid 13.80. SIX DAYS later, I get charged the full price for my plan, and the full price for my son's plan (activated 6 days ago). Argued with the representative for 20 mins until she basically just said, "Yes, you paid 13.80 for 6 days of service and now you're paying the full $25 + tax for the next month". I've never felt more swindled. DO NOT BUY FROM BOOST.
