    I pay a lot of money for my phone service and it is the worst service ever. I can't even use my phone at my house because I don't have service I can't use my phone anywhere around here in Michigan because it doesn't have service. Worst ever.

    This company is absolutely horrible. 5g phone lines for $50 a month is a waste. Don't even add a line for $25 more. I have 6g wifi. I'm on 99% of the time and somehow every month right about week two my phone service just stops. How? Idk!?! When 99% of the time my phone using my wifi to run. Don't waste any money on a company that now has a charge fee of $4 if you call 611. Want to drop a line? Remember they say, "Sure. You will get a credit back if auto pay on." Guess what? You never will get that money back. It's amazing how much they steal from people. I've had this company for over 14 years. Hate this company.

    So I switch two months ago because me and my husband needed faster internet access. We both work from our phones. We were told we had unlimited talk, text, data. Come to find out they lied. There is a cap after you use a certain GB so now our internet is so slow. It takes 15 minutes to load a app or video. I'm so mad because I made sure to ask when we were switching that we really would have unlimited data and they said yes. I never got told about a cap on the data after you use so much. It's false advertising and that's illegal so I promise I'm going to sue them for it. I know it seems like me doing too much but I'm sick of these big companies getting money on lies so I made sure I recorded my call with them so I have proof that I was told I would have unlimited data and then I made sure they said it was a lie and they say that to get money. So I promise I'm going to court and sue them for false advertising.

    I had a four line account with Boost for several years and now I’m with another carrier. They cannot unlock the phone because they cannot locate the whole account. I have emails, PIN number. The phone even says Boost mobile! Like I was a ghost? This is ridiculous. I’ve been on the line with customer service several times and went into the store with no resolution. This is not my fault that somehow my account got deleted but they are making it my issue. This is not acceptable and I recommend that no one else use this carrier!!!

    Ever since Boost Mobile switch over to Boost One I've been having problem with the company. When it was Boost Mobile I'd had no problem at all but we went to Boost One I've been having a lot of problem. Boost Mobile made a bad decision switching over to Boost One. I mean I'm having so much problem with this company Boost One app and Boost One whatever. I really do miss Boost Mobile. I wish it would go back to Boost Mobile because Boost Mobile was doing good at all. I'm having problem with them ever since they switch over and that's not a good thing so give me my review. I prefer you guys to go back to Boost Mobile and let this one go away and make it go away and make it disappear because it's not a good app. It's not a good company.

    It's a lot of problem with the company, a lot of people having problems with Boost One company. It's not good. When it was Boost Mobile everybody had no problem at all but when I switch over a lot of bad things happen. They made a bad decision and a wrong decision. They said I feel about this one, it's not good at all. Please switch over back to Boost Mobile. I don't want to change company because of Boost One. I like Boost Mobile. I've been with them for a long time. I don't want to lose myself with them but I have to because of Boost One and a lot of people going to switch over because Boost One you guys going to lose a lot of customer, you guys need to switch back over to Boost Mobile. Thank you.

    I've added money for my boost service but switched acp program and now I have to pay more money for my service. I was told that I was enrolled in the acp and was given my bill so I added money to pay my bill but I was being told that I needed to pay more money. I can't get a refund of the money that was added to my account therefore I will lose my money because I want to change to another phone company. Acp is acp switched or not. I feel like Boost is forcing me to pay more money in order to start a new service. If I can't afford what is due then why I can't receive my money on my boost account? I added money to have extra data but it's being used even though my service is suspended. Boost mobile is a rip off.

Then I tried to go to cheaper plan and said I didn't qualify.. This company is deceitful and dishonest. Every representative I spoke with told me the same thing months prior, yet nothing is done.

    So back in September I called to cancel one line on my plan. They told me I had to wait until the billing cycle ends to disconnect which would have been on Oct 17. And that on that date my new monthly bill would come out. They could not tell me what it would be, just that I had to wait? So okay October 17 comes and I was fully charged for a line I did not have and on top of that they never disconnect the line. I call and they basically tell me that it was an error on Their part and that they put a ticket in to fix it and they should credit me. Okay 2 weeks later, They still didn't disconnect my line and still no credit. So I call again. Now I am told that I am not getting a credit and to read the fine print. I stated to person on phone that the rule should not apply as it was in their error, after arguing back and forth another ticket was put I. To "fix" issue and possibly get a credit. WORST CUSTOMER SERVICE EXPERIENCE EVER!!!! If an error is made due to their error you're SOL and there's nothing they can do!

    I bought 1 GB of extra data. Never receive it. They said I used it which I didn’t. Boost steal people money plain and simple. Now all iPhone users don’t have option. You have to have the $40 plan. Customer service keep you waiting just to tell you they can’t help. Then have a nerve to send surveys to see how service is. What a joke. And you can’t get phone unlock to go to a new company until you had service for a year but they don’t tell you that in the beginning.

    Made a monthly payment for phone/data service. But when we checked our data gigabytes amount it had not updated with the system. Called Boost Mobile twice on the matter and it was stated that my issue would be elevated to IT and upper management. My daughter's gigabyte is sitting at zero which leaves her without internet when she leaves home and mine is 1.8. We still have 30 days to go without proper service. The issue has not been resolved after two calls. I have paid for a service that wasn't delivered. Either they should fix the problem for a paying customer or refund the money so that business may be conducted elsewhere.

    I order a phone from Boost online for $200 in May 2023. After I ordered the phone, I saw the same exact phone on their website in a different spot for $75. I tried to cancel the order and they told me no, then I tried to get a price match and was also told no. I ordered 2 more phone at $75 each. So the $200 phone arrives and I message to get an RA they said they would email it to me. They didn't, I messaged and called a total of 15 times to get a return authorization and them giving me excuses and telling me they would put notes on my account, keep checking my email blah blah blah. So today I message again and they tell me it's too old to return. I've been trying to return it for months and I guess this was the goal for them the whole time. Been a customer for over 10 years, I will never order anything from them again and plan on switching my family's phone carrier.

    Had an iPhone se with dual esim. 1 was Verizon the other was Boost Mobile for over 2 months with no issues. Got the new iPhone 15 so removed boost mobile esim from iPhone se. Problems happened with the iPhone 15 so I went back to the iPhone se and wanted the esim from boost reinstalled. Called boost and after 35 minutes was told it's impossible to have Verizon and boost together. I explained it was working fine for 2 month I just need it reapplied. She insisted that it was impossible and started to insult my intelligence by saying I must have a physical Verizon sim installed is why it won't work. So I got very irritated and slowly explained for a 3rd time that it was like that for two months how are you going to tell me it's not possible. She then said it's not possible so I hung up, canceled my line. Ridiculous customer service.

    For over four months I've been in contact with customer service to get a recurring 15 dollar charge for extra data removed because it won't allow me to do it myself. Every month they tell me it will be taken off starting next month. I've even went into a store to have an agent call with no success. Hoping eventually this might be a class action lawsuit and I can recover some lost funds.

    I've spent several hours over the course of half a year at this point trying to get a refund. Long story short, called to terminate the service, was promised a refund, called back to follow up a month later and was told it's still processing, still nothing after half a year of waiting. Ended up filing a BBB complaint only to have their agent plainly say that they're not refunding me because while the request to cancel happened before the end of the billing cycle, porting the numbers happened after the end of the billing cycle. The agreement clearly states that either request for cancellation *or* porting is sufficient. Now I'm either going through arbitration or small claims over $50. They seem to get away with that on a regular basis, most folks just end up eating the loss rather than go through this, for obvious reasons.

    I have been with Boost Mobile off and on for 10 years. The three experiences that I have had the first one was that I had four phones on my family plan that was in my name. I gave strict orders that no phone number or phone will be taken off this account without my permission since it was in mine name and they need my PIN number. Well Boost Mobile didn't see it that way and they let my stepdaughter take the phone off my account, give her my PIN number without my permission and never told me that I was paying for three phones not four. After 6 months I found it out. They did give me credit. The second one was an employee was trying to take money off my debit card and I told him, "Absolutely no. I do not give you permission to take any extra money off when I paid my bill." Next thing you know my telephone number that I've had for over 15 years was taken away and I was issued a Tennessee number. I don't live in Tennessee.

    I went to several stores and they're telling me they can't get my number back. Well I had to make a police report and I had submitted that to them. Also my brother and I called. We finally got a hold of someone that believes that I did not change it because I had just gotten out of the hospital from a very bad car accident and this is the number that everybody knew me by. Well I finally got my number back. Well now I paid my bill on September 29th. I have the print out the receipt cuz I pay online. They're sending me that I got to pay my bill on the 27th. I said no I never paid my bill on the 27th. I'm tired of fighting with these employees with customer service. I'm tired of fighting with even the supervisor.

    They will not help me at all with me being a disabled senior with severe medical issues that I need to keep my phone on. They said there's nothing they can do when I first got on there when I would tell him what is going on they would put me on that day-to-day plan and help me with you know putting you know credit on there and then I would pay my bill the next day or two days later they're not even offering that and what I would do when I paid my bill I call them and they would put me back on my family plan. Nothing has been done. Now I have to worry about my phone being turned off on the 27th of October.

    I have been a customer with Boost for over 20 years. Never really had any major issue with them until recently. I understand with mergers there are a few problems that can arise. Since Boost has been bought by Dish Network, well, one mistake okay but then another the next month with an agent that has no clue or cares what's going on, well, shame on you. Asked to speak with a supervisor but she ignored that request. Problem is I am on a recurring payment plan. I get a 5.00 discount for that and thank you. So I received an email saying payment was successful at 4:07 October 17, 2023. At 4:16 I receive another email saying my phone service is discontinue due to nonpayment. What???? Checked my bank account and yes, payment is pending to come out, 35.00, which discount was not included.

    So went to my BoostOne app to see if I could see what was going on. Waited 10 minutes to receive security code. Never received one. So called customer service. Told her what was going on. She said she saw no payment was made and my phone was suspended and I needed to make a payment. I said, No. Payment was made, I received email and checked my account. Also related my discount for autopay was not applied. She said she sees nothing on my account to reflect that. I said well, I have the email you sent me plus the one 10 minutes last reflecting my account suspended. She asked if I checked my bank account. (Yes, I just related that to you) ?? Was she listening. Well, needless to say we were going around in circles. She said she would apply my discount on the next billing cycle.??? I would have my phone turned back on sometime today. I said sometime, I need it on now.

    As I type this, it is 5 hours later and I cannot make calls, or texts and cannot receive them either. My husband and I have decided it is time for a new company. This should never have happened and as you can see, this is not being resolved to satisfaction. I guess they wanted me to double pay. Not going to happen. And by the way, to the agent who raised her voice to me, I hope time helps you to become a better customer service representative.

    I've been with Boost for 10 years now and I remember before was Virgin Mobile. I have no complain about the signal even though is not perfect but my main complaint is unknowledgeable customer service and terrible policy. Here is my experience: I had 2 lines with them and my wife wanted to switch from AT and T to Boost because of affordability. Finally, we got 3 lines with Boost. I contacted them to put all three lines into one account as Family Plan and they did for $110 a month for all 3 lines. However after a year I was checking the website and I saw they are ripping me off because they offering same plan for existing customers for only $25 a month! So I contacted them but they said I first need to go to Boost Mobile store to separate the lines! A Day after I went to Boost Mobile store in Concord CA and they said, "You need to contact customer service and not come to store!"

    So I contacted customer service and they said, "Due to technological issue we are unable to separate your lines and if you want to have a single line you have to get a new number line from us!" I asked if this technological issue will be fixed one day and they said probably! It's been one year now that every month I call them and still they don't want to separate my lines so I can get a better price plan because they prefer to keep ripping me off! After this, I warn people never go with Boost, never trust Boost as they are the worst. I am now changing provider and happy with the affordability and professionalism of the new provider.

    I had 2 lines with Boost mobile. A and B. Phone A broke and I purchased a new iPhone to replace it. Boost told me my phone was not compatible with their network. They then transferred line B to my new phone instead of line A. Now I have a new phone working with the wrong number and an existing phone with no service. They maintained that my new iphone was not compatible with the network despite it being active with the wrong number on their network.

    I asked them to close my account and I would move the numbers to a different carrier. I activated my incompatible iphone with another carrier. The following week I received a new SIM card from boost and was automatically billed for another month of service for phone B which had been disconnected the week before. I called to request a refund and was told to wait 5 days for the request to be processed and 3-5 days for the refund. I waited 13 days and call to check the status.

    I was told my account was still active and after explaining that phone A was ported to another carrier and phone B was disconnected by Boost 2 weeks prior they again asked that I wait 5 days for the request to be processed and 3-5 days for the refund. So my son has a phone that was working correctly until boost move his number to my phone. I have 4 SIM cards from Boost with no service on any of them and they have not refunded the payment they took for a phone number they disconnected 2 weeks ago.

    On August 3, 2023… I called Boost Mobile and spoke with someone in billing to pay and restore my two grandsons' phone service… I made a payment of $94.00 to have their service restore. At this time their service was not restored. The rep told me to call back at 12:45 pm if their services was not restored… So I called back about 1:15 pm and spoke with another rep and was told to pay the bill again to ensure that their services will be restored and he also submitted a ticket to refund the first initial payment which should show in my account within 10 business days…

    Well after their services wasn’t restored I was informed by a third rep to wait 24-48 hours for their phones service to be restored… So on Aug 5, 23… I called back and spoke with another rep and at this point, I was told that their services couldn’t be restored because their phones had been disconnected for several months and they issued a another ticket for the second refund and I should see the refund in my account within 10 business days… I received my first initial refund on August 7, 23… so I waited a couple of days and I called back and I was told that the second ticket was pending in refund status so give it a couple more days and I should receive the refund.

    On Aug 9, 23, I received a email stating my request has been received. On Aug 17, 23, I called back and spoke with a rep and I was told to give it a full 10 business days to call back on August 21, 23 to find out if the request went through. This rep told me it should be returned back to my bank account on August 22, 23 because that was the full 10 days. So on Aug 23, 23 … No refund was in my account so I called them back and the rep basically told me that since it’s been over 10 days that I had not had a ticket submitted that I was not entitled to my refund and I should dispute the charges with my bank. At this point I was livid… on Sept 29, 23… I received a email from Boost stating my request was closed. So I disputed the charges with my bank and still haven’t received my $94.00 refund… I would not recommend this service to no one.

    We used Boost Mobile for many years. We loved the local Boost store with locations in Davison and Lapeer Michigan. When Boost changed from Sprint to T-Mobile, we could no longer get service at our house. We went to another service provider and cancelled our phones. Five months later we were looking at bank statements and found they kept our account open and accepted autopayments for those 5 months. We called the billing support and were told they would cancel autopay, but they will not refund the 5 payments of $35. I believe they owe me a $175 refund. They told me there is nothing they will do. The great people at the local store are not at fault, Boost Mobile billing cheated us.

    Since my old phone was broken and Boost was offering a free phone to new customers, I went to the Boost store on South Michigan Street in South Bend, Indiana on 7/28/23. Got the phone activated at the store and paid $50 for the first month of service. Everything was fine until I got the bill for August. It was $100. Thinking there was a mistake I paid $50 at the same store on 8/25. Service was shut off on 8/28. Ended up calling customer service several times. First I was told that the 8/25 payment was received, but due to some glitch the service wasn't renewed, or whatever, and service would be restored within 48 hours. It wasn't.

    Then I was told that the payment on 7/28 when the phone was activated at the store didn't go through, and if I would look carefully at the payment history in my account there was a minus sign in front of the 7/28 payment. (Someone please tell me why I had service from 7/28 to 8/28 if the 7/28 payment didn't go through.) I would have to take my receipt back to the store and ask them to submit the payment again. By this time it's Labor Day weekend and this particular store is closed for the weekend. (Called around and all of the other stores in South Bend are open.)

    I called customer service on September 3 and spoke with a manager. Ended up paying the other $50 just to get service back, and was assured that I would have a credit on my account when the next bill came around. Now it's October 3 (not October 28) and I get a bill for the next month's service. Paid the bill and called customer service. Told to call back in 48 hours. So far I've paid $200 for 98 days of service when it should be around 122 days. Their customer service is terrible. I'm going back to metrobyt-mobile ASAP.

    I am so glad to be switching from this company, to a new service provider. This has been by far, the worst experience I've ever had with a phone service. My last encounter was them telling me that they would not send me a phone that I had changed my mind about and that they would issue me a refund. Of course, the phone still arrived. I called to get a return label and was told that they would send it to my email. The email never came. I then called back only for them to claim that they had sent it. When I asked them to send it again, they said they were not able to. I then asked to speak with a manager and they informed that one would not be available for 40 minutes.

    I called back the next day, only to be told that I must "foot the bill", to return a phone that they never should have sent to me. When I asked if this would be reimbursed with my refund, the answer was no. This type of nonsense and poor customer service is what underscores my decision to finally leave this company. If you want good customer service, keep looking. Stay far away from Boost Mobile, unless you enjoy being aggravated.

    I recently purchased an IPhone 12 last Friday on 9/15. Once I received an notification that my order was ready for shipping, I noticed my address was incorrect. So I contacted Boost to let the company know the shipping details pertaining my address is incorrect. So the representative said that he would take care of it and contact UPS. But once 9/18 Monday evening came around, my phone was delivered to the incorrect address. So, I contacted Boost on 9/19. They informed me I had to contact UPS. So I filed an claim for an missing product being delivered to the wrong address. They basically said since the product was already delivered, it was the shipper's "Boost Mobile" responsibility to send an replacement or an refund.

    Boost Mobile is refusing to start the process of my refund because they said UPS closed my case. However; I confirmed once again with an investigator from UPS. They gave me an case number and repeated the same information they previously stated an couple of days before. As of right now Boost Mobile is still stalling to start the process of the refund. They're saying my refund could potentially take up to an month once it's verified by UPS. I am very frustrated. I very disappointed that I've been an customer for eight years. I feel very disappointed, angry, and loss for words that there was not an replacement phone issued and that the potential refund process is being stalled. It's unbelievable, unfortunate, and disheartening.

It would not connect to the internet. About 8 to 10 calls later, I've lost count, nothing was resolved. I was placed on a 60.00 plan and I paid the difference of the 25.00 plan which was like 36.60 with tax. Phone was working, internet was working. Then on the 15th the phone line and net shut off. It said I owed 35.11, which I did not. The first lady I talked to was clearly reading a script.

    I finally called back and said COMPLAINT and got hooked up with a lady who could clearly see what I was talking about because service is paid for a month in advance here. She said, "I see what you are saying, but it has to go through the "back end," and that takes 24 hours." Well, 24 hours has lapsed and I am going to call back and see what surprises I am in for tonight. I am going to return this phone and just go with a different carrier, I am tired of this **.

The second day the phone locked by itself and I couldn't operated at all. The screen was black. Try many thing. Nothing work. Even at the store wouldn't work, so I returned the phone. Got a partial refund because now they charge a restocking fee of $25.00 and of course the monthly charge of $52.00 so I decided to go with another carrier.

    But it doesn't stop there, went to the other carrier to transfer my phone # to them and they told me I needed a transfer # with an acct # so I had to go back to Boost Mobile in order to get that and why? Because their customer service over the phone told me that because I no longer had possession of the physical phone I have to go to a store to get it but wait it gets worse. Go to the store to get the transfer # and acct #. When the associate is calls to get the info guess what? Customer service on the line said they couldn't approve it because the phone # the associate gave for the store didn't match what they had on their records. So I lost my business phone # and had to get a new phone # so Boost Mobile you get an F on my book and less than a half star even do you deserve none.

    They could have also looked at my usage history but they refused and were quite rude about it, they didn't care I'd been a loyal customer for years. My online acct keeps malfunctioning, won't let me sign up for autopay (the CS reps can't even do it), stopped showing my hotspot usage and now won't show my regular data usage either, not even when I click on usage details..and AGAIN they just ripped me off w/ my data.

    I paid for a one-year prepaid plan from Boost, on their website, which included a free sim. I tried to activate the sim when it arrived 4 days later, following their website's instructions. That didn't work, so I tried to have their customer service reps activate it. More than once. Each time they got an "error", and each time they were going to "escalate" the issue. One of them said they didn't know when I was going to hear back from that escalation (so, I was just supposed to wait for it). One told me he couldn't do anything on his end, and that I had to go to a Boost store, and that was the only thing I could do! I don't even have a Boost store within 2 hours of me! He didn't believe me when I told him so. The others said I would receive feedback via email in 24-48 hours.

    Mind you, I spoke to a rep on different days. When I didn't get any email about the issue after 24 hours of speaking to them, I tried again, and again. One of the reps had me sent a new sim, hoping that would resolve the problem. And then I finally got an email, but it was only to tell me the same thing that was on their website. The same instructions I had already followed. The ones that didn't work. Called them to activate the new sim, but they still got an "error" for their efforts. I was told they would escalate it yet again! By this time it had been about a week of me trying, so I told the rep to cancel my service and to give me a refund. She said their policy is that requests for refunds can only be filed within 10 days of having paid for the service! It took 4 days for the first sim to arrive.

    It took another 7 days to just try to get either sim activated! Now, I'm told it's been longer than 10 days, therefore they can't give a refund, but that I'd have to file a dispute with my bank?! I didn't accept that answer and asked to speak to a supervisor. The rep told me it wouldn't do any good because the supervisor would tell me the same thing. I insisted. After waiting 10 minutes, I was able to chat with the supervisor who told me that the reason they couldn't activate my sim was because my account showed that I was "porting" my own number, instead of requiring a new one. (I don't know how that happened because every single customer service rep I spoke to asked me if I was porting a number and every single time I told them no, I need a new one.)

    I was told I would need to create a new account, and they would transfer my payment over, and try to activate my sim with the new account, which would take another 24-48 hours IF that's successful. I told him to cancel and give me a refund. Thankfully, he said given the circumstances, he could send a request for a refund to their billing (department), and I wouldn't need to file a dispute with my bank. I told him their 10-day refund policy is unfair, (since it takes 4 days for a sim to get to the customer, leaving them only 6 days to activate it, which, apparently, is a very difficult process for them). This was a very frustrating and aggravating experience for me. If just trying to activate the sim is this aggravating, I imagine dealing with other issues would be worse.

I called in to add a $10 data pack to my line and the rep added to my son line instead and told me they can’t do anything about it and I would have to purchase a new data pack for my line... I ask for a courtesy because they messed up and they said there is nothing they can do about it. Asked for a manager and they never gave me a manager, also they are lying about unlimited data becoming I have to buy a data pack every single month after they made the change of leasing bandwidth form dish and T-Mobile. I paid my bill today just so the data would start over and they told me I have to wait until midnight. SMH and I never had to wait before this company has gone downhill and they falsely advertise the services they provide and they have horrible customer.

Really it was about 15 days. Call them. They say. It's in the notes on my account to refund it. It will be 10 days. **? 10 days later I call. Refund is still in the notes. It will be back in my account in 2 days. If not call back. Now it's been 3 days. No $20. I call today. They say "sorry they can't refund money that was paid to them more than 10 days ago". They absolutely are stealing my money. I demanded a refund the day they took the money. They lied about returning it for a month. I'm angry repeating myself. BOOST MOBILE is a scam.

    App is set on a algorithm and rarely available. In store troubleshooting is inconveniently addressed and told to refer to app or website. I receive text messages and can on reply to certain people with certain times. This leaves my messages sending all day with no completion. I have had numerous locations and reps answer "Huh". The app is only running 60-70 percent of the time which means the cost savings aspect is a farce.

    Updated review: July 27, 2023

    I was so desperate to talk to someone about my experience that I did a little bit of digging and found out that, just recently Disk Network took over Boost Mobile. Mark J. is such a remarkably caring man. He patiently listened to every minute I complained about my 5 months experience with the boost mobile call center. He has also read all these reviews that have been made against boost. He is not happy about any of what the call center reps are doing.

    Original Review: July 24, 2023

    Boost Mobile are LIARS and THIEVES. They stole $17.26 from me, when they told me I WOULD not have to pay for service because I already made arrangements to switch to a different provider BEFORE my service renewed with them. And they were unable to access my account to give me my account number, due to them screwing up a system and a brand THAT WAS NOT BROKEN! This was back at the end of February, and it's now the end of July. I have called THOUSANDS of times and spoke to upwards of THOUSANDS of operators and upward of 50 supervisors. It is a prerequisite that their operators AND management are HABITUAL LIARS!. It is practice to put NON-customers on hold for HOURS! IT is a requirement that they interrupt, over talk AND hang up on you if you are NOT a customer. I even had one punk tell me, "you are no longer a current customer, so you don't matter anyway!"

    The last manger I spoke with, before today, Nicole. Straight up told me that it showed an ending balance on my CLOSED account and that she could see that I had not used their service AFTER I called and got my account number; which IN FEBRUARY I was told that I WOULD NOT HAVE TO PAY FOR SERVICE because I had already gone through the process of switching providers, while they were RUINING the boost mobile brand. And could not get my account number for me. There is SO MUCH MORE, but if you would like to better understand my angry towards boost mobile; all you have to do is Google reviews for them. And you can read HUNDREDS of others that went through the same that I experienced. Obviously, if it wasn't for them STEALING MY MONEY, boost mobile will go bankrupt!

    I have had this "service" for just 2 months and I will NEVER get it again. I was living in the city so coverage wasn't a problem. Now I am in a rural area and Cricket has great coverage as does T-mobile, But DISH owned Boost is so poor that in a 30 foot MH I can SOMETIMES send a wifi text, but it is a very iffy thing. For example today I have NO coverage and have "Emergency Calls Only" and it has been that way since 7 am, it is now 3 pm. Even in the city, if you use up your data limit, good luck getting a page to load at 3G or slower speeds. It seems like 52K as you can watch your page struggle to load line by line by line.

    DISH is a cancer, it destroys everything it touches and Boost is no exception. The only positive is it's the cheapest. They prove the old adage of "you get what you pay for". In this case NOT MUCH. I don't feel that it is worth it. I need reliable and stable communication. I have a heart condition and WILL need some medical help in the future. I cannot and will not gamble my life on Boost as they have proven inept in everything they do. After reading other reviews they don't offer much in the customer service dept either. Spend a little more and get the "good stuff". You will be MUCH happier.

    If I could give less than 1 star I would. My account was suspended with no warning, and trying to find out the reason or how to remedy was futile. I then found out that they need no reason whatsoever to suspend or terminate your account if they wish. And the few reasons they do list in their Terms of Use are so vague and ambiguous they can be applied in whatever manner they like. So there are zero repercussions for them to disrupt your work, your communication, your sense of well being because you now can't reach out to anybody via phone if needed.

    After some digging I found out it was calling a restricted number that prompted the suspension. More digging and I found the specific restricted number was one I have called several times a week for the past 8 years with no issue. And I could not see any reason, per their terms of use, it would be restricted. That did not matter, though, since they make their own rules as they go along and their TofU changes to whatever they want it to be. Since my clients at work are all linked through authenticators to my phone, I had already missed some important events at work and scrambled to find a new carrier. When I did Boost refused to port my number, eventually telling me to go directly to a Boost store to port it. I took off work and drove 30 miles to the nearest Boost location and they refused as well.

    All said and done, I was never late with a payment and had been a customer for several years and feel like I was punished for some unknown infraction of their ambiguous Terms of Use, and it almost felt like they made it as difficult as possible on purpose. After almost losing my job, I did end up getting another carrier. I will never understand why they would want to toss out a customer and treat them as poorly as they did. I do want to point out that the customer service agents were very very polite and did their best to be helpful, given that their hands were tied by this company's ridiculous policies. I am considering taking part in a class action suit. I can't stress enough how poorly I think of this company and I would advise anybody to steer clear.

    I was cut off permanently for a number. Boost says I was calling but not once provided the number that was in question. Then they sent me another message telling me my phone bill wasn't paid when it's on my bank statement and a customer service rep at the 800 number could see my bill was paid. I called a 385 area code number which is in Utah Salt Lake City but no one I mean no picked up the phone and explained nothing to me. Customer service every time I called and explained the text messages I was receiving every rep could not see in the system what I was speaking about. So how and why would I believe any of this was true if customer service couldn't explain or could provide any information. It was always, "I don't see what you are talking about," then to cut me permanently and refuse to return my money back for a bill I just paid on the 4th of June. It's due date is wrong.

    Boost needs to be investigated by the government and what they are doing to their customers and I will file a claim Dish. Been a Boost customer for 20 years. Unbelievable. Then when I go into the store and explain to a Boost rep what just happened I explain the only long distance number I ever called was my prayer line number which is a Utah Salt Lake City number area code 385 the rep tells me, "You are the 12 customer who came in the week that got cut off for calling a prayer service".

It worked for 3 months then they cut service entirely in our area and told us we had to buy another new phone to work on their network. We decided to move to Pure Talk. When we tried to get her phone connected to Pure Talk network Boost said they would not unlock her phone for 1 year at which time we can call back and get it unlocked to use on another network but her phone WOULD NOT WORK on Boost network because they cut service. So we bought another new phone, moved to pure talk.

    Now 1 year later I have been working with the BBB to get Boost to unlock her phone so we can sell it. First boost said the phone was unlocked, then they said there was a pin code they gave me to unlock the phone but provided no instructions on how to do so, then they said I had to call tech support to create a ticket to unlock the phone and now boost corporate says they WILL NOT UNLOCK OUR PHONE.

    Long story condensed for respect of your time: I purchased a phone on the Boost mobile website thru a promotional email sent to me by the company AND while signed into my account on April 29th, 2023. [Saturday] The total for phone and overnight service was $333.83. Tuesday afternoon, after the phone didn't arrive, I called to find out the tracking number and what the delay was. So, I began my nightmare with Boost customer service. I was told the order never finalized because the charge didn't go thru. Looking at my banking info, I verified the charge DID go thru, and the order confirmation email supported that fact. I was told to give it a day and assured that the tracking number would come in the email that night. Nope. Called Wednesday, same crap. No email, no tracking number. Thursday, I was told the order was canceled by Boost, no explanation, refund coming soon with an email. Nope.

    Called Friday, told the phone in fact had been sent, BUT was sent back to them, my information (address, etc) must have been entered incorrectly by me. Checked AGAIN, nope. Told to call UPS so they could figure out the problem. Not doing that, it's not a UPS problem, plus a phone was never sent, or I would have received a tracking number email, right? According to Boost, nope- even though that's what they told me. I wait a few days to see if the refund shows up - well, no, it hasn't. I call again, and again, and again.... more excuses and reasons why my money hasn't shown up and never a clear reason why they screwed up my order. Supervisors are just as inept, over 9 hours of my life so far on hold, waiting for a rep, and then waiting some more and STILL waiting on my refund. It is May 26th, 2023.

    I had to go into a Boost store last week to purchase a phone, ( needed a phone- whole reason for the purchase) I was still charged activation fees, and by the way, the store CANNOT help with ANYTHING you purchase or do to your account online. Absolutely nothing. When I called two days ago inquiring why my refund hasn't arrived, I was informed they are doing an investigation on this situation and because THEY are investigating themselves I may have to wait ANOTHER 7 days for the refund. I'm beyond upset, I've been with this company for many years, and NEVER have I experienced this level of stupidity with ANY businesses I have dealt with. Not one single company has EVER jerked me around like this about refunding my money when they have failed to honor a purchase.

    I also haven't purchased anything online with Boost before, and I won't ever again. I'm taking my business to ATT, and if you are smart, you will take your business somewhere else as well. If you are reading this review to see if you want to deal with Boost- do not do it!! Buyer Beware, and if you go with Boost anyway - well.... you were warned. At this point, I do not ever expect to see my refund, but they sure as hell won't see another dollar from me. Reporting also to the BBB, Attorney General, and anyone else who will listen and attempt to resolve this, and yes, I sure reported it to my bank as a dispute. This has been a nightmare, and I do NOT appreciate the way Boost Mobile has jerked me around. I haven't even mentioned the nightmare in buying that phone at the store and how I have two accounts now - one in legacy and one in the "new" system and how it now takes them 55 minutes to even FIND my account information???

I was told as they started transferring people in batches to their new system people were losing the Premier Program. I asked why if everyone that has the Premier Program are grandfathered in even though they aren't excepting new people to enroll. I get told I don't know but it's because you have been switched to the new system. I didn't ask to take it off. I wasn't notified of any changes.

    The lady says I know you weren't notified this was going to happen and I would really like to turn your phone back on but I can't. She said the information is being passed on to be investigated since it's happening to a lot of people. She gave me a $10. credit hoping it would help me be able to pay my phone sooner to turn it back on. My phone still isn't back on and I can't pay until the beginning of month as they can see I always paid that time being disabled on disability. I went on the web looking for information about the new system the rep mentioned. Turns out Boost merged with Dish and states existing Boost customers will have no change in their plan or services per the merge. Why did they remove my Premier Program and cut me off then.

    Negative thing about Boost Infinite is that they have no stores. I signed up for service on 05/13 and got my new phone on 05/16. That is the only good thing that has happened with Boost Infinite. The phone was broken, would not charge. Called that afternoon and spoke to customer service who told me that I needed to call Motorola because that was the brand. I called Motorola and they told me that Boost should be dealing with the situation. Called Boost back. They told me that I would have to buy a new phone on my own and they will send me a label to send the broken phone back in.

    I was told definitely that Boost Infinite does not replace phones that are sent out broken. I called back a few hours later to confirm the information and was told that the information was wrong and that Boost will first have to make sure I did not break the phone. They told me that a new phone would be sent out by the end of the day and I will have it before the end of the week. Received an e-mail from Boost Infinite that they have denied my claim and they would do nothing. I called Boost Infinite the next morning 05/17 who told me that a replacement phone was sent out 35 minutes ago and that they do not know why I received that e-mail. I called that afternoon to get the tracking information on the phone and was told that no phone was sent out even though I was told that morning that it did. They said that they would create a "ticket." and have it worked on.

    I called the following morning and was told that no phone was sent out, I asked to speak with management and was told that it was impossible because the Boost system was hacked. I asked to leave a message to have management contact me but they told me that that was impossible and that no management was available. The customer service told me that he was in Mexico City and there were no Management there. I called back this afternoon 05/18 and was told that the replacement phone was approved and that it has not been sent out yet and that it could take up to 5 days to send it and then there will be the shipping time so the whole process from now could take 7-10 days.

    During this time Boost charged me for the phone. I was told that I will get the phone when I get the phone and that's it. Other Companies have the same plans and phones that cost the same or cheaper and have stores that you can go into when there is a problem. I have been on the phone for over 5 hours with Boost Infinite and have received absolutely no resolution to my problem and I am out money that I paid for a broken phone.

    Boost never was able to correct an upcoming bill, showing an amount double that of what I was supposed to pay for a single month of service. Customer service left me on hold for over 1hr then hung up.

    My husband and I went to Boost mobile three days ago to get new phones. We’ve had iPhone 7 SE‘s with Boost for about two years, along with the same phone number. Ceasar, who is obviously new and has no idea what he’s doing, he should not be in that store by himself, sold my husband, a broken phone. We were waiting for the phone to update in the store, and it wouldn’t do it. That should’ve been his first sign that there was a problem. But he sent us home with my phone working, And my husbands phone in update status. He also sent us home with our two old phones, because he gave us two new phone numbers. We had just paid her Boost bill about a week and a half ago so rather than transfer that bill over to our new account he started entire new account. So now we have two phones apiece, but only three of them work.

    Yesterday Ceasar told me to send him a bunch of pictures of my husband's phone so he could see that it wasn’t damaged in any way, and then he would contact me back. I did these things, nobody contacted me. So I waited until 12 o’clock today to call, only to find out that he had blocked my number. Worst Customer Service ever! If your employees are not fully trained, and how to sell set up an operate phones, they have no business being in the store, operating by their selves. We’re already giving you personal information of ours, for you to treat us poorly like that? Hands-down worst experience with the phone company I’ve ever had in all the years of having a cell phone. The fact that the representative blocked me after I sent the proof, speaks volumes of the character. He is in the operations of that company..

    I will update this when I get a resolution, or if I don’t get a resolution, I will update that status as well, for sure my husband brought his phone home and plugged it in, as it was in updating status, and we sat down to eat dinner. By the time we finished eating, the phone had updated and he opened it up and there’s a big black line going all the way down the left-hand side of the screen. Now who wants to spend over $500 to have a phone that isn’t right the day you bring it home. And what kind of salesman send you out the door with a phone that’s not working correctly and can lay his head down and sleep at night. I am absolutely disgusted with a Service received from Ceasar, and I strongly advise nobody else go to him for a new phone ever. If I was Boost, I would fire him today.

    Purchased mobile Hotspot Device. Took 4 months to activate. Their customer service went down. Was offered 35 gb plan through ACP. I could not start a account or activate as there was no customer service working. While they were down they changed the ACP plan to 10 gb of data. Now they are charging my credit card for a free service and even after sending them screenshots from my bank showing the transactions. I'm told there is no credit card on file on my account. I used my card to purchase my device. They are doing nothing about the reoccurring billing.

    Poor Customer service phone chat or store. While trying to activate they said I needed to go to a store. I went to the first the agent was so high on dope he fell out of his chair and I had to help him up. The second the agent never heard of the ACP program. The third I was told only the manager can activate and she has no set hours and as I was walking out the agent said, "If you do catch her here she going to hit you up for 50 bucks to activate."

    Would give ZERO stars if possible!!! Searched Boost Mobile website and app when setting up account (when they bought Virgin Mobile - whom I never had issues with!) and could not find where I could set up auto pay. Fast forward to today: service was suspended today 5/7 because my payment was not received by 5/7 when it was due. (Was told my monthly payment was due TWO days after my monthly service plan date.) Spoke with FOUR different people to get bill paid and service restored; third person was able to get my account set up with auto-pay. Searched website while on the phone with the fourth representative, who told me how to add a credit card. Did not want to add or change the credit card I'm using, just wanted to know where the option to set up auto-pay was. On website, the account information, they mention auto pay but there is no link. Looked in account information - no link. NOT helpful at all, considering switching providers!

    I started with Boost in December 2022 with their $15/mo for 5GB 3 month promotion. Everything with my phone worked fine, although I couldn't access my account or view my usage for several days after Dish Network was hacked. I renewed in February 2023 and, again, everything was fine until May 1 when I found I had zero GB and MMS messaging wouldn't work. With a vacation coming up and 14 days until the end of the cycle, I attempted to add 5 GB one-time data for $15. I first did this from the app, but the data never showed up. I called customer service where the agent told me the money had gone toward my next bill and that I should never try to add data online. He said he knew exactly how to do it and convinced me to spend another $15 to get a 5 GB add-on. Again, the data never showed up.

    I called back and was told the money had again gone toward my next bill. I asked the agent to simply take the money in my account to buy the data and said she the system will not allow them to do it that way. She said she would process another purchase of 5 GB but could not guarantee it would work. I then asked to speak to a supervisor and was told I would have to hold 20 minutes. After 30-some minutes the agent said she was still waiting for a supervisor. I reluctantly told her to process another payment for 5 GB. Ten minutes later she came back and said the supervisor said I could not buy any data because I was on promotion and would have to buy a new plan. I reminded her that I was no longer on promotion: mine ended in February. I then asked to speak directly to the supervisor to clear this up, but she hung up on me.

    I attempted to buy an unlimited plan, but found all my payment methods had been erased from my account. When I added one back and attempted to use it to pay for the new plan, it claimed my credit card was declined. I used another card and the same thing happened. I checked with the credit cards' banks and neither had received or declined a transaction. I called yet again, asked to start a new plan, and was told I could only start a new plan after the present one expired. I asked agent if it made sense to him that I would remain a customer if I had to go for two weeks with zero data. He replied that things had changed after the hack and no agent can process adding data or changing plans until the current plan expires.

    I then asked for a transfer PIN to port out. He transferred me to Boost's Transfer Department where the agent said she completely understood why I was porting out. She bemoaned the changes since the hack, agreed that Boost's policies don't make sense and are costing Boost customers. The port out was denied at first, but was processed quickly when I called back. Boost Mobile is by far the worst company I have ever dealt with. I spent over six hours just attempting to make my phone functional again and the answer was always "no." My experience may be different than yours, but I just wanted to document what happened to me.

    This company should not be permitted to continue offering cellphone service. I had a LOT of problems porting a number to Boost from TracFone but that isn't the end of it. Somehow they managed to make my one phone lose all my contacts (can't even access contacts on it any more). Somehow can't get on wi-fi now and it goes on and on. One thing that I think should be illegal if it isn't already is if you sign up for auto pay and then decide to turn it off there is no way from within your account to do that. I had to call the store and have them turn it off.

    If you try to use their chat to speak to a person, good luck, it's nearly impossible and their phone support number will take you at least 6-10 minutes just to get through all the automated menus they push on you, then when you reach a human give them all your info, they say, "That's a different department. I'll have to switch you", then the waiting starts over and if you get another person you may have to do all of that over again. Their personnel are extremely inept when you do finally reach someone. I have spent HOURS on there and often left without a good solution. I had 2 lines ported over and now they have 2 separate online accounts for me to deal with, making it more complicated than necessary. I've filed a complaint with the FCC and am considering picketing outside their store. I suggested I might do that while in the store and one or two people there waiting said they'd join me. Stay far, far away....

    I'd purchased yearly plans (upfront) for my daughter and I the very end of January 2023 and ended our plan April 10, 2023. My daughter was never able to connect to the internet and I had to pay for $30 worth of data once we left the state on a vacation. I was told that I "must've" used 25 gigs of data in 4 days, yet they couldn't give me a breakdown of my usage per day. I ended up closing out the lines and switched to Verizon. I requested a refund and after about a month, I still never saw any deposit. I called customer service and waited 30 minutes to speak to someone, then went back and forth with the agent about my charges being valid (which I already knew they were valid, I'd paid and held up my pay off the contract). He ended up telling me to go ahead and contact my bank or the FCC to get a refund. I WILL TAKE IT AS A LOSS, BUT I'LL MAKE SURE NO ONE HEARS ANYTHING POSITIVE ABOUT THIS COMPANY ON MY END.

    My husband is now on the line to close out the account he's held with them for over 3 years because of this situation. Since our recent conversation with the company, it seems as if they've flagged our phone number because it immediately drops the call once we're routed to the line we're "supposed" to be connected to. Be aware of the yearly plans, for sure!!!! I paid for the lines because my husband had never had a problem, but after this, we both have a change of heart. Just ridiculous.

    I have a phone with Boost Mobile, and I selected a pre-paid plan (5G/mo for $15/mo) with payment of $45+tax every 3 months. I had authorized automatic payment with my PayPal account for this. On April 12, 2023, they were supposed to charge me $47.51 for the 3 months of April - June. However, I was charged (4 x $47.51) on the same day. I called them on April 13, 2023 to report this and ask for a refund, but their associate could only see a single payment from their side and they opened a ticket #** to investigate this issue.

    I waited for 4 days and called them again on April 17, 2023, and the associate this time couldn't understand what the issue is, and she said "Okay, we will process a refund for you for ($190.04)" and she opened a new ticket #** to do this. I told her I should get refund for only ($142.53) which is 3 x $47.51 being overcharged. She acknowledged and opened yet a third ticket #** for correct refund. After I finished talking to her, I noticed that instead of refund, they actually charged me "additional" 5 more times (5 x $47.51) on the same PayPal account (got notification).

    Then I called them again and this time I requested to speak to a supervisor and I was so angry. They got a supervisor on the other line, but basically he did NOTHING. He opened yet a fourth ticket #** for the original 3 additional payments on April 13, 2023, and a fifth ticket #** for the extra 5 payments on April 17, 2023. Next day I got a notification that ticket #** was resolved, but until today April 25, 2023, I don't see any refunds. I had to call PayPal customer service to dispute the extra charged and they managed to refund 2 of the extra charges to me. Just to emphasize, I got only refund from PayPal not from Boost Mobile.

    I immediately stopped my automatic payment authorization from PayPal not to give Boost Mobile another chance to rob my money as I don't trust them anymore. I am terribly upset by the way Boost Mobile is handling their payment system and by their "irresponsible" mishandle of my tickets and not processing my refund requests. I will disconnect my service immediately with Boost Mobile and notify all my friend of the terrible experience I have with them.

    After 7-years of paying my bills with Boost Mobile (hundreds of dollars) I got into a dispute with them over refunding $25 to me that they owe me and were trying to avoid. How could a company be so stupid as to win a dispute with me for over $25 refund after 7-years of paying my bills on time?. If this simple $25 refund was solved I would have spent another 7-years using Boost Mobile. Now these fools get nothing in the long term except for me informing my family and friends and acquaintances and any function or religious gathering to inform them not to use Boost Mobile.

    Even if I stop one customer from using Boost Mobile I would have won by preventing someone from using Boost Mobile for the next couple of years.

    A third rate MVNO, maybe the worst cell service company I have ever dealt with. Waited a while to insert my SIM card, when I did it would not make any calls or get data. I tried a different Boost sim in the same phone and it worked perfect. I called Boost 3 times and chatted once, I went through some very insipid troubleshooting steps (turn on, turn off etc). Each call, I was eventually told that their internal system was down and I would need to call back. After 3 calls, I tried chatting and after a 10 minute chat, was told I would have to go to a store to replace the sim. Not sure why they insisted on wasting my time if they can't do anything about it. About 90 minutes on the phone and 15 minutes of chat, I realized this has been a total waste of time. Will not be doing business with them anymore.

    On Feb.18th 2023, supposedly Boost Mobile suffered a supposed cyber attack during a huge update of its services. My voicemail data saved was supposedly transferred to the new visual voicemail by Dish Network, and it became an actual hack through them. All my saved data in my regular voicemail with Boost was supposedly transferred to the new visual voicemail, and the app was not working at all until 3 days ago, April 4th. They've offered no restoration, explanation of what really happened to my data, additionally my email and phone were spammed endlessly and I pay 7 dollars a month for replacement insurance, had my phone stolen 2 days ago.

    Their insurance department now is demanding a "one time fee of 20 dollars" and to give my credit information over the phone to some operator in India..to process the service to replace my phone, while I paid insurance for anyways, and this is not an online service where my card is secure. Far as I'm concerned Boost insurance is pulling a bait and switch and you are being told to give your information only over the phone to a contractor in India. And extorting 20 dollars to replace your phone that you paid insurance of 7 dollars a month for.

    My advice to any customer of Boost is to flee their service asap, they allowed data theft, now they are pulling a bait and switch on insurance, and I'm not sure if there was an actual hack or they did this internally as a consequence of this supposed upgrade of software. The visual voicemail never worked, had an error window, and goes to a Web page not the app that states every time there are no voicemails, and that looks like an active hack of data and they know it's going on. And now they are extortion a one time fee of insurance you paid for already.

    The storage service customer wasn't even aware this was going on, and got on the phone and demanded why a customer had to pay a fee when they paid for insurance already. The operator was rude to even to the rep, told us it was a one time application fee, to review whether they would even honor the insurance, something told me they went going to. Even the customer rep was stunned this was going on, and didn't have knowledge from corporate this was the case.

    My only alternative since I'm not going to give my credit card over the phone to some contractor in India, or to start over, dump my number and start over with them, which presently would be about 100 dollars for a new phone, new number, shock case, at a store. With no guarantee my data, my identity is safe with them, and now they're bait and switching on fees for insurance. Their parent company is Verizon, and I suspect there's more going on with this situation than I see with Boost than we know. I was an 8 year customer and now I have to monitor my identity, and be subjected to insurance bait and switch from them to be a customer, um, no. I recommend every customer of their flees the service, their intentions are clear.

    I have been a customer for over 5 years. Their website says if you can not make a payment because of their security breach, your phone will not be turned off. Well last month I tried to make a payment on day my phone bill was due. Because of "system updates" I could not make payment with the Reboost card I bought. My phone was turned off that night at midnight. I was able to use a credit card the following day. 2 days ago I was sent a text by the company saying my bill was due the 6th. As today is the 5th I tried using same card I couldn't use last month. Guess what, system is still updating and my phone will be turned off again at midnight. So 3 months of system updates, nobody can access my account on phone to look at what was discussed last month... They can see I paid last month on the 6th tho, now it's due on the 5th.

    I've been Boost Mobile member for quite some time. Probably 15+ years. Loved their service. It almost always worked, even out of state. I always got a decent price on a plan. I just recently got their $25/mo (if you Auto-pay) service, but before my previous service ran out, I tried to get a one-time data pack to keep me going until the new service kicked in. I accidentally bought their monthly recording pack. So I called customer service in January. They said they could cancel the add-on and it shouldn't be on next month's bill. Then they got hacked and disappeared for a while. No way to get hold of customer service. Period.

    Paid for this add-on, quietly, for 2 more months until they got themselves together enough to get customer service working again. Was literally told they wouldn't refund me the $30 I was wrongfully charged. Tried to get a supervisor once. They talked to their supervisor instead. I'm tired of their terrible business practices and blatant theft of my money, as far as I'm concerned. If you use their Boost One app, make sure you redeem as soon as you've covered your bill, or slightly before. I'm not sure, but it doesn't seem anything past your bill remains after you redeem your Boost Coins, so you spend 100% of your Boost Coins on whatever your bill is, even if you've saved more than your bill. I will be going to another company after I consume that free month of service.

The website asked for my email addr and zip code to see the plans available to me. I was pleasantly surprised to see that since I was enrolled in auto pay and an existing cust, I could get a plan for $25 a mo. I chose the plan but when I provided additional information to process and pay, I was instructed to login to my acct.

    When I logged in I was offered 2 plans. One for $60 & another for $50. But as I scrolled down to the fine print not only did I meet all the qualifications to get the $25 plan, If I don't use auto pay I can get a $35 plan. I called Boost Customer support who confirmed that despite the fact that I meet all the requirements to get a $25 monthly plan, I can only get a $50 plan or keep my more expensive $60 plan. JC, the customer support operator told me that I was his 7th or 8th complaint with the same issue today. I filed an informal complaint with the FCC. Stay tuned for updates

    Shopping prices online they want all of your personal info just to see if your zip code will receive the price shown online and the website is never in working order which shows a lot about the service you would receive... so I went in person to the Phoenix store located on bell road and cave creek road and was treated so rudely by all of the reps in the store. The idea I was given had I spoke Spanish I would have been talked to by the reps. I didn't so was told to go to metro PCs up the street. I would not recommend this company, customer service is important throughout your cell phone service as you pay in person upon occasion as well as have issues with service and want to have a person who doesn't mind your nationality.

    I am so disappointed with this new app that we are suppose to download to get to pay my phone. Last month I couldn't pay it with the old version because it said to download the new app called Boost One. I download it and it ask me my email and then my password. On the old app I just did my phone and pin number. I put in my email and it didn't recognize it and so I did my phone number and then it ask my password. I don't have a password for this app and put down don't know it. It said it will send me a code so I can do a new password. I did everything it asked and still said it wasn't the correct password. I am you're kidding me.

    I then went in person to a Boost Mobile and they charged me extra $4.00 due to paying in person and not online. I was first of all it should be waived since the system was all down. I am so frustrated with this that I tried call today and see if customer service could help me. Nope same issue I had and after 2 tries it locks you out.. I told the guy are you serious?? Then you can get in my account and just let me do my password?? I will just get another phone provider. You just stink!! Unhappy client!!

    Approximately 2 weeks ago, while at work, I accidentally dropped & broke my phone that I use daily for work as well as for personal. I was fortunate enough to have a friend at work that had a Boost Mobile phone that she sold me. I tried to call customer service to have the phone switched but got a recording saying they are having tech issues to try back another time. There was no option to speak w/ rep.

    I tried to log in online but basically got a similar message and was not able to log on. I left work early to find a Boost store, and was told they (ALL OF BOOST) was down and had been for days and they couldn't help me. I ask for my account number because I was gonna switch companies and would need my account number to port my current number that I have had for YEARS since Boost apparently couldn't provide me with service that was a must for my job. I was informed that they couldn't give me my account number because their system was down as they already said. And they had no idea when the system would be fixed but they were working on it. I was in disbelief. I went to another Boost the next morning with the same outcome.

    I chatted with customer service as well and was also told the same thing. It's been 2 weeks. Still no phone, no solution offered by Boost and I am out lost of money and time because of Boost not being prepared for something such as this. I also find it interesting that tech issues or system issue or not Boost is STILL able to receive payments, and disconnect for nonpayment however I go weeks without service and no help from Boost. I have incurred significant loss due to Boost's situation and I feel like Boost should be responsible. My bill is due tomorrow, I wonder how fast they are able to suspend my service if I don't pay, however they can't provide me the service I ALREADY paid for? SMH. Guess I'll incur more loss when I have to lose my phone number. Not a happy customer at all.

They are a scam and I'm currently out $100. And that's just the cash they got me for. I ended up having to go buy a new phone and pay another month to Metro. Oh, and because they just disappeared you can't even change your own phone number over. So that's gone too. Smh. Worst experience with a company I've ever had.

    I purchased a Boost preloaded sim card a week ago **. I put tried activating the sim card through boost website. It prompted a message that the sim will be activated in 24 hours. It did not activate in 2 days. I was not able to make any phone calls or use internet on the phone. So, I tried calling the customer care. I heard back an automated message that the customer service has an issue and they will start answering soon.

    The next day, I went to the Boost Mobile at 1429 E 8th St, Odessa, TX 79761. The person at the counter was nice and tried to understand the problem. She said the number is active. Then she tried finding what is wrong, but, she could not find what is wrong. She called her boss and the boss said that I should get the service activated by paying the monthly fee. But, the sim card was supposed to be already preloaded, and I should not be required to pay. Their other suggestion was to contact online.

    So, I am in this situation where:
    1. Customer service is down since last one week.
    2. The boost chat is also down.
    3. The real people at boost mobile do not know about preloaded sim.

    I have been with Boost Mobile for a few years and now me and my husband want to switch carriers because we are Seniors and can use our AARP discount with a cheaper company. We have followed all the policies to be able to switch carriers. Bill is always up to date, have had phones with them for over 12 months and phones are paid for. When calling customer service it took 3 business days for my husband to get his phone unlocked. (Policy is 2 business days) Here I am 5 days later and I have not been able to use my phone or get it unlocked.

    I am VERY FRUSTRATED... and each time I call (6 times) they tell me, "I'm sorry we show it unlocked." My phone is telling me it is locked to call their customer department. I have no service. I get a different stories every time I call and they have me trying all these different things that do not work. My new phone carrier can not set up my new service because they show my phone being locked also. I have read many reviews of this same thing happening to others and I am at their mercy now. The people I talk to beat around the bush in customer service and are not helpful at all. I also can not understand them... Their English is terrible.

    I have been a customer for longer than I care to admit but I was unfortunately changed to this carrier when the last one sold out. They give false pretense that you are able to have a phone unlocked and taken to another carrier. Which is possible it is just their way of try to retain you as a customer even if you are adamant about wanting to leave this carrier. If you have little financial ability to continuously keep purchasing phones you basically get stuck until you are able to afford to do so. In the meantime, while you are trapped with this carrier you will be lucky if your service works at all, usually connected to whatever wifi is available where you are because it's not coming from Boost Mobile.

    Then if you are going to the next town over for some reason you must constantly restart your phone because you are "not registered" to a network even if you were standing right in front of their store or tower. Good luck getting anywhere with customer service too, they are trained to basically not care, not allow you to speak to a supervisor and are ruder than you could ever possibly imagine. You also might want to forget any type of compensation, reimbursement or credit to your account for said issues because they won't at all but will be quick to change whatever they need to suiting their new policies or to shut off service without notice. DO NOT CHOOSE BOOST, pay the extra to go with the competition to avoid all headaches I have had from this hack company!

Right under the second offer, there are small words with one sentence of "After 14 days, you will be automatically charged $25/month". So I clicked the second offer, thinking I will only be charged with $25/month. When I clicked on the second offer, it prompts me for my name, address, and credit card. But I was charged $40 a months even after 14 days with forced Auto Payment and no way to change. They said I chose the $40 plan. But they purposely write "$25/month" right under second offer, but now said it's for first offer. But they purposely put "$25/month" under second offer to cheat people.

    I bought the Christmas Samsung phone/unlimited service online offer. At the end of my purchase, a popup appeared offering a bring your own phone line to the account for $35 extra monthly. I was planning to add a line anyways, so went ahead with that option, since I had a phone to bring over. I went through the compatibility check to make sure my phone would work with the service.

    Everything seemed fine, up until the SIM card arrived, and I couldn't get the phone to work. I had to contact customer service, who also couldn't figure out what was going on. They transferred me to their 'advanced technical support', who also struggled with it. Finally, after an hour or so, he said that even though the phone brand and model was listed as compatible, it really wasn't. He told me to go to a physical Boost location to add another line to the account. At the store, I was told that since it was an online only account, they couldn't add a line.

    Since I apparently couldn't add a line to the account, even after attempting to buy an entirely new phone to do so, I requested to have the unused line dropped. They told me that it would take 30 days to do so, and then it would drop from my account. What they failed to mention was that I would be charged for the line. Once payment time arrived, I noticed the charge there and called support again. Again, I was told that they would submit a ticket and it would be 30 days, from this second call, for the line to be removed. And, I would have to pay for the line during that time.

    The line finally dropped from the account, around 1/25/2023. My bill is due again on 2/15, and the line it gone, but the charge is still there! I just got off the phone with support, yet again, and she said that she was submitting another ticket to their accounting department, and I should have a resolution in 72 hours. So, I've had to pay for an unused phone line for two months now. Their system told me that my phone was compatible, and it wasn't. The fault lies with their system, yet they are forcing a customer to pay for their mistake. It's going on the third month, and I'm still getting charged for a line that I never used a single time.

    If this resolution is not satisfactory, I'm terminating service and going back to my old prepaid service that I never had a problem with. I only changed in the first place because I wanted to add my daughter's phone to my service, and that hasn't worked out. The sheer incompetence of this company is astounding. I'd go as far as to say that demanding payment from customers for services that could never be used is theft. Especially, when the fault lies with the company itself. Do yourself a favor and steer clear of Boost Mobile. There are far better services out there.

    I spent almost 6 hrs in chats yesterday with Boost and my internet provider at Boost direction, not an internet issue, I could use the phone for the internet but couldn't make a call or send a text, made not one but 2, 80 min round trips to the closest store. Boost apparently changed something over night of 12/31/22 to 1/1/23, and we suddenly did not have cell service. I use my phone for work and needed it to actually work like it is suppose to. Once we got back from the second trip. The phone went out again. Got back on chat again. They wanted to start all over again and do all this stuff and take control of my phone, etc. etc. etc. Then they tell me it will be working again in 24-48 hrs. (Pretty much admitting it is their issue and not my phone's issue).

    Chat customer service was completely useless, couldn't call them because of no cell service to make a call or send a text. I chatted with multiple people. After the first trip to the store, we almost got back home only to discover the phone did not work again and had to turn around and go back again. Tonight I called the phone number that was online to be able to get my account number so I can switch providers, and waited on hold for 50 minutes (it said 30 min or less for an agent). A man answered and they kept an open phone line for over an hour without saying a word. I was very very angry with this behavior to say the least. Had I been able to find my police whistle, he would have gotten a blast from it.

    I got back on chat hoping that I would have better luck with them. AGAIN useless! They said it was "sensitive" information and couldn't provide it to me. Apparently Boost doesn't trust their customer service reps, and your account number is not on your account when you log in. So called the phone number again. On hold another 40 minutes, Jerrymay answered and said she couldn't provide it. She would need to transfer me to someone else. ANOTHER 10 minutes on hold. A guy answered. Kept trying to get me to tell him why I needed my own acct number. Told him it didn't matter. He asked if I would like to register a new phone. I again told him all I wanted was my acct number. Then he started to make different offers of discounts. I then yelled at him that I WANT MY ACCT NUMBER. I have wasted at least 13-15 hrs of my life dealing with these people in the last 2 days.

    I purchased a Boost cell phone on their website for my mother for christmas. The phone arrived 12/16 (the phone remained unopened as it was to be a christmas gift). Unfortunately within the same week of receiving the phone, my mother ended up in the hospital and passed away unexpectedly. When I called boost for a refund and told them the circumstances, I was told they would not refund me as it was past their 7 day refund policy. The phone was never opened, never touched, and in same condition as it arrived. They refused to do anything to help me or offer a refund. Instead, they suggested I find a way to resell the phone. So now I have to take on the burden of being a seller? The audacity and coldness of such representatives and their policies is ridiculous. I would never in my life use boost or encourage anyone else too.

    I purchased a Schok Flip Phone from Boost Mobile and have never been able to use it! I wondered why there were no reviews for this phone. When I tried to review it, I was unable to do so. The website does not allow a review for the Schok Flip Phone! This phone is defective!!! The slot for a SIM card will not take a card! There is no opening where the slot is supposed to be - just metal on top of metal! I tried to force a SIM card in and that was impossible! When I called about returning the phone, Boost refused to take it back! I've just wasted my money and I would never deal with Boost Mobile again!!!

    I had this company for over 15 yrs and they locked my service. Excuse was I used my phone too much but I pay for unlimited talk, text, and data. Then they say send an email to have it unlocked. Talked to several people on the phone. I even went to the store and this was a total waste of time and energy.

    I ordered new service and a phone from Boost for $115 which was actually supposed to be charged monthly at $8.33 but they went ahead and charged for a year. Of course they do this because no matter what they won’t issue refunds or send our new equipment. They simply tell you to contest the charges with your financial institution. I couldn’t get this phone to activate, I spent days trying. Finally I called them and sat on hold for an hour while the associate tried to help. He determined I was sent a phone that is supported by their old network, and therefore my service would not work with the phone. Instead of offering to send the right sim or phone, he told me to just file a dispute with my institution because boost never offers refunds even when it is their fault. So I open chat to give them another chance and after twenty minutes the chat person told me I ordered thru a different part of boost and therefore he couldn’t help me.

    I beta test and review for a living so I’m very competent. Boost clearly set things up like this for a reason. Refusing to refund for something that is their fault is not legitimate and if it was for more money I would file arbitration against them for it. As it stands, they do not back their own products and services, as a professional reviewer, please understand this company is shady and nobody should use them. They tempt you with cheap prices but in the end they overcharge you and then refuse refund for faulty products and services.

    My son had Boost since 2018 without issues so I decided to try it. Big mistake because I had so many problems through Boost in using Siri, opening Google maps, and calling contacts that I didn't have with my previous service. 1. Local office has hours listed but is never open the entire time so no point in talking to them. 2. Customer service didn't help because they only asked for personal information, a pin I never made, and other ridiculous information that I never provided originally. One agent I spoke to had a dog barking in the background the entire time we spoke. 3. I bought a $40 plan but after experiencing such crappy service I switched to $35 but Boost held my service hostage for $5. Wouldn't restore it until I paid. I thought that was the point of a prepaid card - to be flexible?

    4. After spending 30 min with one dept I was switched to another dept. Even though it was the SAME phone call, I had to "RE-VERIFY" who I was!! The same questions again I had just answered for 30 minutes. 5. Then the second agent tried to upsell me! Hilarious! Thank goodness we have so many other choices of cell service. :) Bye-bye Boost!!

    We have had Boost Mobile for about 10 years, and they were fairly good up until about October of 2020. I tried to purchase a new phone (and add a third line), but it would not go through online, so we had to go to an actual store. They told us that we needed to wait until our next monthly payment to actually do that, and so we did. The person helping us was not very helpful, either. So on November 5th, we came back, bought the phone and set it up (the person helping us this time was a lot more helpful, and I really liked him. He explained everything to us and we even talked about the phone I was buying.) Everything was okay for a while after that, although there was a noticeable difference in the service quality. We had spotty signal in many places where you'd figure it'd be great (one part of the city you'd have nothing, the other it would be great), and I usually stay connected to the Wi-Fi we have at home, but others in my family are out working and require a good signal to do their job.

    We dealt with it for about a year, until we set up phones on a different provider for our business that we run. The service was way better, as we performed a few tests with both a phone on Boost, and a phone on the other carrier. After a lot of thinking, we finally decided to make the switch. We wanted to move over before our next payment of $119, because we didn't want to pay for a month's worth of service when we'd be switching very soon after. I purchased a new phone, as mine was already 2 years old and not working well, and the other two were planning on moving their phones over. We also kept all of our phone numbers, which that process was fairly easy (except it required account numbers for each number, and it took at least 2 hours to get them, as the people continued to offer us deals to keep us there. That's alright, it's their job.).

    Now comes the part where we were trying to activate the phones. I ported a number over to the new carrier on one of the phones to make sure they worked. It didn't. Both of the phones were locked to Boost. One was about a year old, while the other was way newer, and was a free replacement because of the network switch they did a little while back. We called them and requested to unlock the phones, which also took some time to actually reach someone able to do it, and they told us they could do the older one, but not the newer one, as there's a 12 month period you must own a phone before you can unlock it. Okay, understandable. We ended up purchasing a new, unlocked phone from Best Buy because again, the phone is required to communicate with people for work. They put in a request to unlock the older one, and told us it should be done in 48 hours. We waited, and it never worked. We called them back, and tried to figure it out, but they couldn't unlock it.

    Now, we have to buy another phone because once more, we need it for work. The work phones that we did have are with our employees, and I'm currently the only person on the plan with a working phone, and they can't take mine, as it has no case yet, and I only have one. Point is, their customer service is very poor in quality, and all we wanted was to have better signal, but ended up having to pay $300 for two brand new phones when we had two, good, and fully functioning ones. I am very disappointed, especially since we've been so loyal to them for so long. I don't want any refunds, or deals, or anything like that. I simply want to let others know that if you do choose to go with Boost, be prepared for spotty service, some annoying phone calls to customer service, and possibly being out of service if you do try to switch in the future. (Side note, we did have 5G, and it was just as bad as our 4LTE.)

    I first purchase a plan for them since it looked like a good deal. The service was horrible, there were outages many times throughout the day, but I could overlook that seeing the price. However the plan charged me $300 for a $240 annual plan, for 15 GB/month, and I called their customer service over half a dozen times to try to get the price adjusted. They were unable to do anything to change the due payment, despite my plan being the $20 plan, when the payment date came, they canceled my service due to non-payment, and I called in every other day to get an update. After a week of calls, they told me to pay the $300 and that I would be reimbursed for the difference, so that is what I did. I was given multiple ticket numbers, each taking 10+ days to process and coming out with no result.

    I finally called again today to see the result of my latest ticket. I was told that I had the $300 plan despite selecting the $240 plan and having 15 GB/month on the website and also having every other customer representative telling me my plan was $20 for 15 GB/month. I called in another time to a new customer representative, and I was told that I had the 15 GB/month plan. Too long didn't read: Company's website scammed me out of $60, and their customer service told me I would be reimbursed. Turns out to be a scam.

I said it didn't take 24-48 hours for them to take out my account. They said I had to call my bank to do so. I did that. The bank said they couldn't do anything while the account was still pending only after transaction was posted.

    Bank reversed payment $52.00 on October 17.. Boost for some unknown reason reverse the account also on Oct 18 for $47.68 with an explanation that I had a add on online account of $5.31. In this shady transaction process Boost Mobile closed my account, turned off my phone Monday morning on my way to work. I have been with Boost Mobile since 2009.

There was a new worker working. The manager was not there! I was told that you can't return accessories unless it's not working. That's when I told him again it was not working.

    I’ve been with Boost 15+ years. The service became terrible in the past year. Completely dysfunctional. Losing calls in my own home, very weak signal in my own home when the coverage map and phone calls to Boost say “all is good”. Next to no service out on the main thoroughfare in my city. Grocery shopping, out to dinner, banking - forget it, no cell service. Then I take a look into My Boost today before calling to cancel, finally fed all the way up. I look into manage family plan because my daughter is my secondary line, and I find there is a 3rd line with a completely unknown to me number. It only shows me the last four digits. But that is enough to tell me it does not belong to anyone I know. I call Boost and they tell me my service will be improved in 72 hours (really?!

    After months after month of bad service, what a lie!) and that they cannot give me any information on this unknown number but that they will remove it from my account I only have to agree to the removal as all records of the number will be lost. They offer no information other than to say that this number has been active under my account for a year. They say that without a PIN number they cannot tell me anything and they offered no resolution or refund. I have never received notice that I was paying for a third line. Their unwillingness to investigate or resolve any of this amounts to theft.

    They accused me of “talking in circles” as I continued to ask for a resolution though they were the ones giving me the go-around and going in circles. When I pointed this out and told them my next option would be true Better Business Bureau, they hung up on me. Anyone considering Boost, just save yourself the headache. They were at one time a great option for no-contract service but to treat a long-time loyal customer this way? Those days are over.

    - The rep with a foreign accent could not understand me. I admit, I have an accent myself. But I seldom had so much trouble with any business in the 47 years I lived in the US.

    - The plan on the Boost's website needs a lot of clarification. E.g. all plans are for 'new customer' only. So what plans do I have after I become a user? No mentioning of using internet in foreign countries other than Mexico and Virgin Island.

    - The reps gave me wrong answers. E.g., the International Plus must be included when I started a plan. Or I cannot use internet on the cheap plan (at $100 for a year). Later the first rep changed her story. And the second rep said the cheap plan is for 1 GB only and it will not last for a single day. This is TOTALLY INCORRECT. The average data usage in the US is 6 GB per month. I have google fi plan which does not have any free data and I rarely use more than 300 mb (0.3 gb), while I use google map all the time, yahoo mail all the time and some other apps sometimes.

    - The rep was very slow in responding to me, and she said a few times, "Sorry. I was on another line". Was she kidding me?

    - The phone menu is bad. The only way to reach someone is, 'pressing 0 eight times then 3', as said by a clerk in a store. But this does not work. So, I kept pressing 0 WHENEVER it was allowed. And that worked.

    - There is no way to send boost mobile an email to ask for clarification of the plans. The only way to get something in writing is by chat. But you need an account to use chat, and the rep told me that you must activating a plan first to get an account. So you need to sign up a plan first to ask questions about the plan!

    - The rep was not willing to help. She kept asking me for my IMEI number and she would not even tell me how to obtain it or how to spell IMEI.

    I do not recommend boost. You may or may not save any money. But google support is much more helpful.

    We bought two new A32 phones from Boost approximately one year ago, went 5G. From that point on nothing but coverage problems, non-existent customer service, and overpriced hotspot. Coverage problems: Live in Cyfax, Va. (Outside Lynchburg) horrible signal coverage, also terrible up down Interstate 81 from Roanoke to above Harrisonburg, outside of Richmond too. If you are in either mountain range depending on which side of I81, forget it. Contacted customer service many times over during the period we owned these, did I say many times...lol more like weekly. When you do reach them you will be "ping ponged" from person to person, resolution never and when able to speak to a human misinformed and lied to.

    Found hotspot cheaper elsewhere too. Moved to Cyfax VA. Bringing along the Boost phones, so no practical usage wherever. This time did the research...coverage maps, talking to local people, stores... comparing. For our area T Mobile had the best coverage, and with their 55 plus plan was a no brainer, two phones, 10gig each more hotspot. and at 30 bucks cheaper than crap Boost plan.

    Reason for getting T Mobile phones was Boost flat out refused to unlock our A32 phones, once again after many calls and being bounced around they lied and said phones were unlocked...not. Upon calling Samsung service they easily verified they were still locked. So, do your research when moving or even considering a phone. Coverage maps, value, most of all performance in your areas...but never ever choose Boost Mobile...never ever. This has been the absolute worst customer experience ever.

    I purchased a galaxy a13 5g from Boost Mobile and about three months later I had problems with the phone. I left due to that. Now they refuse to unlock the phone because I haven't been there 12 months. They tried to make me go through their warranty which costs more money and only after I complained did they tell me it was under one year warranty from samsung. I had been a customer of boost mobile for years and I leave because of poor customer experience and they don't give a crap. If you don't ever have problems they are OK but if you have any sort of issue it's like pulling teeth trying to get them to help.

    Apparently stealing from people who pay full price for a phone out of their pocket is how they run their company??? They have such absolutely horrific service at boost that it ONLY works when physically ON WIFI and YOU CANNOT even make a 911 OR EMERGENCY call in certain areas AT ALL so switching to AT&T. Thought it would be simple. No. Boost is a lying stealing manipulative ** company with even worse customer service and standards/"policies". They REFUSE TO UNLOCK A PHONE I OWN AND PAID FOR IN FULL. What a joke. I will be telling EVERYONE I know and social media about the HORRIFIC company they are and the BS they pulled. If they want to lock my phone then they should have to buy it back. HORRIBLE SERVICE, HORRIBLE PHONES, HORRIBLE POLICIES. DON'T USE BOOST MOBILE.

    Iv'e been a Boost Mobile customer for 15 years. Way back when they had the Nextel beep beep phones. I bought a new phone from them December 2021. It worked for 5 months then all of a sudden no service. I worked back and fourth with them for over a month to get service back. Boost pointed their fingers at Samsung and Samsung pointed fingers at boost. Samsung had me take it to a different city for analysis. Nothing was wrong with the phone. I went back to boost with the printout they had gave me to prove to them it wasn't the phone. Boost reset my phone, lost everything on it. 2 different sims cards which makes 3 including the first one that was in it and still nothing. Samsung had me mail it to them to double check it and still nothing wrong with it. I went back to boost and they still couldn't get it to work. I called boost many times to get them to unlock it so I could get it hooked up on a different server.

    They kept giving me the round around lying to me each time and refused to unlock it. So I'm stuck with a new cell phone I can't get service on. They said I have to own the phone for 12 months before they unlock it. Why would I want to pay for service I don't have. None of this was my fault but I am being punished for it. I closed my account with them and sadly had to give up. This was totally unfair that they would not honor the brand new phone they had sold me. Buyers beware! They don't care about me and they will treat you the same way. Very disappointing and hurtful after being a devoted customer for so many years. Just plain sad. I have names, dates and times of every time I called them for help.

    You won't get a good English speaking person to help you either. I had a hard time understanding their broken English and they would get aggravated with me cause I couldn't. I had to make them spell their names to me as well. Every time I spoke to them they gave me a different false answer. I kept all my notes with them for proof and they called me a liar. Of course you won't get their last name and they would not let me speak to a supervisor or even let the man at the boost store speak to a supervisor either. The salesman at the boost store said he had 11 other people come in with the same problem as me. I feel sorry for them too. Again, I did nothing wrong. Boost DOES NOT honor the phones they sell. I hope this gets out to warn others before they make the same mistake.

    On April 8, 2002 I paid $103.00 for 12 months. Yesterday it stopped working after 2 months. They told me that they have upgraded to 5G and my 4G phone will not work anymore that I need to buy another phone. I told him no my phone has two SIM cards one for my business and one for personal. I told him that I want my money back. The guy just hung up on me. So I went to their store and talk to the salesperson about my problem and she told me that she was sorry but she cannot do anything about it that I would need to call their home office. I called again and told the her my problem and she hung up on me.
