    Boost is a great company, left Sprint for them. Boost offered the same services for a fraction of the cost. I love Boost, customer service is awesome. The cons with Boost you have to pay full price for your new phones but you can always transfer your current phone over as well. Their website is user friendly and easy to roam around to review new phones plans and paying your bill

    A level of deception present when purchasing plan because they weren't forthright regarding limitations of my service... data and phone use. Also the power for volume was very low... Data get weak and had very limited app capability. As I moved throughout the state access to BOOST stores were extremely limited.

    My name is Sherrie. I have used boost mobile for many years. The only complaint I have is..the service. I lose service at my residence..or when I'm shopping in a several stores... and trying to talk to a customer technician is useless. It's always recording..and have spent days trying to speak with a rep. They do offer great package plans etc..and absolutely love their android phones. Just wish they would up their game on customer service..and fix their services to where I don't lose service.

    Boost is all hype and mediocre at best. They advertise affordable plans but the surcharges and per min rate is insanely high and the choice of phones are like shopping a used car lot! The equipment seem to all be refurbished, or extremely high priced! I would not recommend and highly advise the consumer to seek other options and try to get a regular plan if you can!

    Boost is a great option for those with tight budgets or credit that's too shaky to go with the traditional carriers. Signal strength was always pretty good, but don't expect much from customer service over the phone. As far as stores go, your experience will vary with each location. Phone selection is a little limited, and flagship phones are going to be expensive (you usually have to pay full price, with no financing). I used Boost for about 3 years before switching to a major carrier, and never had any major issues.

    I have used a few pre paid plans and they were a waste of time and money. Dropped calls, no connection but they suck up your minutes with no problems. Tried calling customer service if that’s what they're calling it. No help, "Sorry, nothing we can do." Sound familiar but with Boost I experienced no problems and excellent customer service. You buy your minutes or plan and away you go. I had no dropped calls. Always connected to a tower.

    I never had a problem with local service. Sometimes out of town there would be issues with service. The price for the plan was great with unlimited calls and data. If you use a lot of data it tends to run slow until your billing cycle starts over. If you're looking for a low plan cost I would recommend.

    I'm Jan 28, 2019 I boosted up to a iPhone 8 Plus. They tell you that after the phone being activated for 12 months and as long as your bill is paid and the phone is paid off that you can unlock the phone and take it to another carrier. Well the phone was paid off early and I waited till it had been activated for a year to ask for it to be unlocked. On Jan 29th 2020 I requested it be unblocked. The first time I was told I would "get an email" letting me know it was unlocked. Of course I never got an email so I called back 4 days later and they were surprised someone would tell me I would be getting an email, but they told me the phone was unlocked. Mind you the phone settings still indicated Boost network and no other network options. I called back and spoke with a manager who assured me the phone was unlocked. I tried again with another imei check and it's still locked to boost network.

    I called again and they tell me that it's prob saying it's locked because it has not been moved to another carrier yet. Ok well it got moved to Metro and it's still showing as locked to boost on ALL SEARCHES. I called today and record the phone call (which I suggest everyone do) and they now say, "Well it's prob just locked in the network you're trying to swap it to." No it's locked to boost mobile. Oh and by the way I knew they were a shady company because as soon as you tell them you're recording the call they say they can no longer talk to you.

    Here's my thing. It's misleading to let you pay $600 or more for a phone then jump through all of their hoops only to find out that you may own the phone but it will never be unlocked. I also admonish you to reconsider buying a phone with them or doing business period with a company that isn't even registered on the Better Business Bureau....besides that but I swapped because of poor phone service. Now I have a phone still locked to boost mobile that I don't wanna reactivate because they suck so bad as a whole. They are not accountable and their customer service agents are the worst excuse for customer service agents I have ever dealt with. Everyone tells you something diff, none of them want to help. They answer to no one so basically they can take your money, treat ya like crap and they don't care.

    One of the worst companies in terms of coverage and customer service I have ever dealt with. And yes I have screen shots saying the phone is still locked as of today 2/9/2020 and I have a 12 min recorded call with their excuses on how the phone is unlocked on their end but not on my end. How they are still in business I dunno? Never again.

    Me and my family have been loyal customers for years with Boost Mobile, but due to the declining quality of their mobile products, we decided to switch mobile carriers. Unfortunately, Boost would not unlock my phone, which would allow me to switch services. They promised me that in a matter of days my phone would be unlocked, to no avail, they forced me into paying for another month of unwanted service. A week later, my family has moved on to another carrier and I am stuck with Boost, being held hostage by technology.

    I was a customer for a few years before I had to switch to different service. I moved to an area where Verizon was the one that had cell towers. My Boost Mobile device failed to work in the area I live in. Unfortunately, several months ago I had to get a new device because the other one was broken. Boost Mobile will not unlock SIM card because "I didn't have the device long enough".

    I have been a loyal customer in the past and very surprised by this policy. A few other things...surprise activation fees for switching a phone number with same company to a new phone. I was told invalid information about the insurance policy and was screwed over into purchasing a new phone that I am unable to unlock the sim card. The last thing is...the last person in a retail store that helped me had given his coworker my phone number to ask me out on a date- very unprofessional and breach of privacy. Not amused of the treatment I have received for the last year.

    I was on the family plan with Boost when I lost my phone in October and the customer service rep deleted me off of my family plan when I reported it lost for some unknown reason and set my new phone up on a new family plan by myself and I had no idea this had been done. I never authorized this and I believed all this time that there was only one family plan. I pay the family plan when it's due and then I would get charged again or my phone wouldn't work so my husband would get the notice to pay the other plan. Meanwhile we were very confused and neither of us realizing there was the second plan.

    I tried calling Boost when we noticed the second charge. They blew me off saying everything looked fine to them. I then instant messaged them to go thru the payments and they couldn't explain the extra charges so blew me off again. I went to the store tonight and finally the Boost rep figured it out and tried explaining this to the Boost support line. They blew her off too. At least she had the smarts to put my phone back on the correct family plan. I have called them one more time tonight and the rep tried to blame ME for the error because I should have called sooner (even though I had) and since I didn't know I had the second family plan, I have been charged almost $400 and they refused to refund my money even though their rep made the error. They consistently said that it was their error initially but would not refund my money. Downright unethical. Don't go thru this service.

    So here is my story. I been with Boost forever! And I have a second line for my daughter. For some reason they have my daughter as primary. Needless to say it's been a nightmare trying to get this issue resolved. I called on Thursday 1-10-2020 was on the phone forever trying to resolve this. The lady I spoke to told me that it would take 72 hours to make me the primary after all I am the one that pays this bill. So then I call today and get a total different story that they cant change me to primary because my daughter had a boost up contract that I just paid off on Thursday with the lady I spoke to. So basically they lied to me. They obviously don't take note and keep them on record for the next time you call in or for the other rep that takes the call. Looks like Boost mobile will tell you lies and does not keep their word.. Look like I am looking for different service today!

Went back and she said, "I told you that the phone was $199.99 and that it cost 25.00 to activate," which I told her that was not true and she said, "Well maybe you forgot."

    I bought their hotspot device call to Coolpad 450 bucks and their service package was 50 bucks a month for 50 gigs. I had to order the device online because the store had none in stock. When I received the device then I had to go to the store in Denton Texas to activate it. When I got home the device did not work in my house! I could not get a signal for more than 30 seconds at a time. So I took it back to the store trying to get a refund and they told me straight out we are a prepaid company and we don't give refunds.

    I called customer service explained to them that their device didn't work and they're for my prepaid money was moved because they're not providing me a service being as their device doesn't work at my address. Finally talked to a so-called supervisor in South Africa named Jack. Said he took care of it and that I needed to call back with a tracking number when I mailed back to device.

    A week later when I mailed the device back and called them with the tracking number I ask about the previous call were Mister supervisor Jack told me he'd be refunding my $50 for the service that I can't use.. And ask for another supervisor who was the snotty little Filipina! She told me Jack had done things wrong and that I'm not entitled to refund because they are a prepaid company! Try to explain to her that her device didn't work and that if they didn't give me my money back they were robbing me.

    Anyways a month later after sending them their device back I still have not received the refund on the device or the prepaid service I paid for which I could not use!! So basically Boost Mobile has stolen from me $100 and that is unacceptable and if I knew where I could physically find one of these morons I guarantee it would be a different story.

    I have a problem with text messaging and after a week and a half of speaking with them every day and following their troubleshooting steps, nothing has worked and I still have the same problem going on. I asked to speak to a higher level technician and they said they couldn't transfer me to that department. Instead they said they would create a ticket for them to call me. No one called, so I called back and they said they deleted the ticket because they didn't have all of the info they needed from me. What kind of nonsense is that? They didn't call me back to get any more info either. When I asked for them to put another ticket in they said they did and that I would have to wait another 3 days for someone to call me back.

    Once again, no one called and when I called back they said they didn't process the ticket because I refused to follow their troubleshooting steps. I said I've already done all of the steps, and the supervisor told me she could not transfer my call to the tech support dept. and she would have to submit a follow up ticket again. I told her I will be leaving Boost Mobile since they refused to help me and couldn't resolve my issue in a timely manner and she said she respects that. What kind of idiot supervisor would let a good customer just go like that especially when they are starving for good reviews, and my problem could be an easy fix if they would just get someone on the phone with me who knows what they are doing.

    I bought two pre-owned Samsung Galaxy S8 from Boost on Black Friday. When the phone arrived the next week, my husband held off using the phone because he wanted to get the case first. When he opened it 5 days later, well within the warranty time, he found the screen is defective. We called boost, instead of helping us to replace the phone like any credible company would, they transferred us to 3rd party vendor again and again, shirking off their responsibility for something arriving defective on arrival. It was well within the 14 days of purchase.

    The 3rd party warranty vendors find every loop holes to not help us, find every excuse to prolong the return process and push responsibility back to boost. I called back to boost at least 5 times and every time they asked for a full explanation of what happened to us, clueless of what we previously told them, the reference number they gave us meant nothing. Now we are well into the third week of receiving a bad phone, not a single good gesture from boost to help us. This company is as shady as hell.

    I bought a new iPhone from Boost Mobile online. When I received it, the phone would not charge or even turn on. After calling Boost they sent me to Apple for support. Apple had me go to the nearest location to test the phone. The Apple technician informed me that it was a pre-owned phone and it was not functional or repairable. I was angry, there was no indication that I had bought a pre-owned phone, but that's because I didn't...I bought a new phone and was sent a pre-owned phone made to look new.

    When I contacted Boost, not only did it take me forever to get transferred to the correct department but they kept trying to say the phone had no warranty because it was pre-owned. Then they told me that I received a new phone and asked how I knew it was pre-owned. Thanks to the Apple tech, I told them the exact date and state it was originally purchased. At which point he finally directed me to the correct department for a full refund. I received a pre-paid shipping envelope to send the phone back. If the phone would have worked for at least 2 days I would have not been able to return it and I would have found out too late that it was pre-owned, because they only have a 7 day return policy and that includes shipping days until you receive it. Thank goodness I opened my Christmas present early. They said it would take 5-8 days to receive the refund. It's been 6 so far.... I love Boost Mobile service but won't ever buy another phone online from them.

    The only bad thing that ever happened to me was a surprise activation fee when I decided to upgrade to a newer phone in store (Moto to LG G6). But the woman in store told us before charging it. Otherwise the service was mostly good; although at some points, it'd say I have 4G in an area, but nothing would load. It wasn't constant enough for me to be upset that much. Things I love about Boost: the taxes are already factored into the plan. I get an even amount taken from my account every month, so I know what to expect. I also love that I can get pretty good coverage in Mexico for only $5 extra. It's a total deal.

    Recently, I'm thinking of switching services only because I don't get coverage in Canada, which come on?? You can have coverage in Mexico but not Canada? I travel to both places for a fair amount of time, and I just need something that can work in both places so my family doesn't worry about me too much when I go traveling.

    Do not go here. I went here to switch my family plan. I was charged 192.00 for two phones that was supposed to be free. And set up on a 2/80.00 plan. I wanted 4/100.00 I was told I could come back for the other two lines and pay 10.00 for each phone and 20.00 activation per phone. When I returned for the other phones I was charged and additional 156.00. I told them I was not paying that much and still had to turn around in two week to pay the 100.00 for the original plan I was asking for. They stated that my bill would not be due again until Jan 1st not the 16th.

    When I got home I received a text and email stated my bill was 140.00 due on Dec 16th. I called boost and they told me to call the store there was nothing they could Do. I called the number on the receipt which ended up being the owners personal number I told him what happened and he said not to worry he would fix it just to come back the day before my phone bill was due.

    When I returned Sidney the manager was not near a computer and could not fix my issue and told me he would fix it the next morning and give me a call. The next day I still haven't received a call so I called them and they said they would call him. Still no call no resolution. According to boost the only thing reported to my online account as paid is around 130.00 for all four phones so where did the rest of my 128.00 go. Boost told me to file a dispute with my bank because they could not fIx the problem on their end. And I was overcharged for discounted phone case smdh. Never again will I ever...

    I going to give Boost-mobile a bad review for poor customer service and mismanagement. It has to do with my LG 4 stylus cell phone with 2 month warranty. I called lg customer care services to get my phone repair since it's not charging and the lg warranty department representative took my information and said I needed to provide proof of purchase of my phone. I did not have the receipt. The representative said that boost-mobile can email me this receipt and the representative send me an email with an lg web page to upload the receipt. I called boost customer service and was told that boost does not provide or email receipt and suggested I contact the store where I got the phone from.I

    I called the boost store and spoke to the manager. I told this manager I needed a copy of receipt for my phone and was told it did not have it because it throws out receipts after three months. I called boost Mobile customer service again and asked why the store or boost could not help me to proof this phone was mines and the boost representative said it was kind of odd that lg warranty department was asking for proof of my phone and it did not help me. Yet, the lg warranty department representative insinuated that boost mobile is supposed to have copies of their customer receipts, but that's all it was. Talk but no action to resolve the issue. My phone can not get repaired and that's it.

    Boost Mobile- Pensacola, Fl. I bought an iPhone 7, 5 days ago, on Dec. 6, 2019. On Dec 9th I went to the Pensacola store and told Amber the clerk that sold me the phone, that I wanted to take her up on the trade in before the 7 days were up. (She told me when I purchased the phone I had 7 days to bring the phone back for any reason, and I could trade it for another phone if I did not like it.) I do not like the phone. It will not hold a charge with very minimal use for even 5 hrs. It will not allow me to access my email for work at all.

    So when I went back 2 days after purchasing the phone and spoke with the clerk Amber, she said she had to call her boss and get approval. I said, "You get approval because you told me that I had 7 days." She said no problem. There was a problem as they did not have the phone, I wanted so I agreed to come back on Wednesday as she said they would then have the phone.

    I came back Wednesday, today Dec. 11 2019. A man was at the store not Amber. He got on the phone with his boss. She told him not to let me get another phone. I got on the phone with her. She told me that her employee Amber lied to me I could not get a new phone in exchange for the iPhone that did not work right. I asked what she was going to do about this problem and she hung up on me. I was totally shocked! A Manager hanging up on a customer in their store, how professional! No RESPONSIBILITY, NO CARE AT ALL! JUST HANG UP when I asked what she was going to do about the problem of my phone not working correctly and I was promised a working phone. After paying I expect a phone that would be working properly.

    I will not stand for being lied to and having a company sell me crap that doesn't work, then telling me too bad and hanging up on me. She wants me to be stuck with a phone that does not work, and not once did anyone try to help me with the problems I was having with the phone or care less if it worked or not. They acted like it was not their problem. It is their problem! I will post this everywhere on-line I can think of, every review site on Facebook - EVERYWHERE!!! I will also contact the consumer protection Agency. Companies like Boost Mobile have no care how they treat their customers. Just get sales, sell crap and crap all over customers!

    When you sign up, paying full price for the phones on a pre-paid service the salesperson tells you that Boost covers ALL of the USA. That proved to be a total lie. Then after 8 months of utter frustration, hoping that things will improve, but does not and you decide to move to a better service provider they refuse to unlock the phones that you paid full price for. Devious company.

    Take note... they don’t put your account number on any bills or emails. You also cannot get the account number from a store. You have to phone the helpline where they immediately know that you want to leave boost because the new provider needs the account number in order to take over the phones. It just shows that they are fully aware of the sad product and service they offer. So they try and make it as difficult as possible to leave hoping you will succumb to their outlandish BS and remain with them for the balance of the “year” that you had no idea existed when you signed up. Maybe it’s in the small print somewhere. But seriously!!!! If I could not provide a decent service I would apologize and try to keep the customer happy. But not boost.

He claims they can't pull up records of my previous calls because I'm not a boost mobile customer. He just hung up on me again! The call record this time was 30829.

    Been with them 6 months using a galaxy s9. Let's just start with the roaming data, which is horrendous. I cannot begin to get you, the reader, to understand the anger I have had with the data using there 50 dollar unlimited plan. I do ubereats on the side and since using this I basically just don't anymore. It will stop loading direction after driving anywhere between 3-20 miles for a delivery so I'm just driving around praying that I didn't come all this way for naught.

    On more than one occasion I have called the support, which are all Indian and we can't understand one another. About several issues but one for instance was my data was just shut off because they had a tower down for the weekend so my data too was going to be down for the weekend. They offered me a measly 15 dollar credit because that was apparently the best they could do annnnd guess what...they never applied it. That wasn't the first time I've been given a credit by them and just didn't get it.

    The 40% of areas I'm in do work and have data for several months until they just don't anymore. The few areas I could still do ubereats in, just became dead zones for miles on miles making that 40% drop down to 20%. PLEASE NOTE that I am not being hyperbolic with my gripes or numbers, this is literally what I'm working with in Tampa, FL. Calls are bad as well, just making this a pointless product to own. This product is so bad that I am convinced a lawsuit could be opened for accepting money on a product that is fundamentally broken.

    I almost forgot. Before I convinced myself the issue was not having the unlimited plan I was using their 35$ limited data plan. I use youtube premium and will download several videos and have them play while I sleep. Even though they're downloaded I would awaken to a message saying I have used all my data. So the next month I would do the same thing but this time I turned off data usage.

    Let's be clear the phone had a constant offline icon and I could not use any service that required me to use wifi alongside it. Still to awaken to the message I had used all my data for the month. Of course I wasn't reimbursed and I'm left scratching my head on how they measure data usage. But let's be honest everything about this service is fundamentally wrong so I'm not even going to start in with speculations. PS I am think of a ton more issues and the absolute failure that it ended in by them, but this is already gotten so long and I'm sure you the reader gets the point by now.

    Moved from the USA to Belfast N. Ireland where Boost Mobile provides no mobile service. Contacted customer service to unlock my cell phones so I could use them via another provider in the UK. CS would not unlock the phone until 12 months from activating them and I had the cell phones for 11 months and 21 days (9 days short of 12 months). I explained I needed my phone unlocked/activate by a UK provider due to medical reasons. I am in kidney failure and need to communicate with doctors, medical centers and my wife in the event of an emergency.

    Customer Service would not unlock the cell phones even after escalating to the supervisor, two managers and a third level top person at the customer service center. No exception to their policy. Their system would not allow it. This was after three years of doing business with them. Ridiculous!! Poor customer service with no ability to make decisions in the best interest of a good customer.

    I paid $50 for a monthly plan then they claimed I had to pay $10 more for activation. The very next day, I noticed on my checking account statement that they charged $110. I’ve called customer service three times in an attempt to get the additional $100 returned to my account. They now say it will take up to 72 hours to return the money they accidentally took out. I now have NSF fees for other returned checks because I didn’t have an additional $100 to cover their mistake. It takes too long to get a human on the phone and then you can’t understand what they are saying because English is definitely not their first language and all I hear is 50 others in the background dealing with other customers.

    I have been a Boost customer since I was a freshman in high school (2004) so I've watched the customer service go downhill from the chirp days. I've had plenty of bad experiences but this one takes the cake. I just bought a certified pre-owned boost mobile Samsung Galaxy s9+ from boostmobile.com for $350 (+ tax was like $390 total). It arrived still attached to an unpaid Sprint lease and was locked due to "unpaid sprint balance". I was on the phone with boost for 6 hours (!!!), transferred between 12 different people, and hung up on 3 times. It was a Nightmare.

    A friend at Sprint finally ended up unhooking it for me. Now it's been a week since I've had this phone. It came with a screen protector already on it. I noticed a tiny little piece of it was chipped off so I brought it into a cell phone store. They could not remove the screen protector as it was glued on with some type of extra adhesive. 4 people (me, a friend, and 2 people at the cell phone store) tried removing it and CANNOT. The guy at the store accidentally burnt the screen with a heat gun while trying to force the protector off. He now wants to charge me $300 for a new screen. I argued it down to $150 since it was his fault and he still want me to try to go through boost because of the glue don protector.

    Not sure if Boost put it on to prevent short term returns or if the prior owner put it on, but Boost is doing nothing except transferring me between people again and telling me to try bringing it to a Walmart(?). Absolutely horrible customer service and horrible purchase. Stayed with this company for 15 years too long. I can't believe they sent a sprint lease locked phone with a screen protector glued on. I can't even return it to them for a new one because it means I'd have to go days without a phone which I can't do because of work. So my only viable option is paying for a new screen to be put on.

    My granddaughter (minor) purchase a mobile phone with her own money $213. We received the phone and you could not hear on this phone without being on speaker or headphones. I specifically asked Boost and I was told this iPhone is quality checked to make sure everything works. This is a common problem and you did not check this out. When I called they told me I had to file a claim. I received this phone damaged. I did not damage this phone. They immediately transferred me to the claims department. The claims department took the statement and said they sent out a label to return the phone and this will take 7-10 business days for them to send out a new phone after they receive the phone back.

    I called boost back and stated that I should have the option to return the phone because I was told I have 7 days to return and get a refund. I was then told I have 7 days but I will not get a refund for the services I paid for only the iphone. I will also be charged a restocking fee. I said, "Wait. You send me a damaged phone that I cannot activate without paying $60 for phone service. Then, when I return it you will charge me a restocking fee and refuse to refund me the $60 for the monthly services I paid for." The customer service agent stated that is correct. What will I do with the service if I return the phone? "You can add a different phone to the line." I purchased the phone because I did not have a different phone to add to the line.

    How can Boost be allowed to literally steal money from people. You either keep the phone and deal with the problem or buy another phone and keep their poor service. We never received the label and is stuck with a phone that you can not hear on. Why is this acceptable? Why is this company allowed to conduct business like this?

    Ok here's my experience with Boost Mobile; I have a LG phone which was purchased at a local Boost Mobile store and it's a very good phone. Lg makes a good product. Upon showing this phone to my son he liked the phone so well that he himself purchased the same Boost Mobile phone at which time I added him on my family plan. So we both have an account with Boost Mobile in which for a couple of months seemed to be fine but then somehow the sim card ended up lost out of his phone (which is not itself the fault of Boost Mobile) so my son purchased a $10 dollar sim card kit at Wal-Mart (their sim card kits cost $9 dollars more than all the other carriers for some reason).

    And so he contacts again Boost Mobile to register one of the four sim cards purchased at Wal-Mart and finds that none of the four were compatible with his phone so he orders one (from Boost Mobile which are free unless you go to a local Boost Mobile then you'll shell out a whopping $25 dollars for their oh so special sim cards and anyway the sim card kit finally arrives and so he proceeds again contacting Boost Mobile to register one of the four sim cards to only find that neither one of those four were compatible with his phone. So again Boost Mobile supposedly sends another sim card kit to him but it never arrives so once again my son contacts Boost Mobile and they supposedly send another sim card kit which never arrives so my son again frustratingly contacts Boost Mobile to order once again another sim card kit which this time finally arrives a week later.

    And again he contacts Boost Mobile to have this time singular sim card to have it registered to once again to only find that it is also not compatible with his phone so once again he (very frustrated by now) contacts Boost Mobile to order another sim card and finally gets to speak with one of the higher up associates which informs him that the right sim card would be sent this time and that for all the inconvenience that a $50 credit would be added to the account for next month's invoice statement and that she would immediately add to the family plan account but to only find that to be a dissimulating misrepresented falsehood.

    And still my son (in which case is also my one and only caregiver) is left with a phone without service which has already been paid and also which I am not able to contact if and when a emergency occurs and also leaving this fortuity of juncture with Boost Mobile unresolved with because of which would not only be irksome aggravating annoying frustrating and exasperating but also would result on my part a loss of funds.

    My 2 week endeavor begins with the decision to upgrade my phone and pay off the leasing plan I had been paying on since I only had 27$ left to pay anyway. I had decided that I wanted the iPhone XR. 33-ish dollars a month isn't that bad for a phone with a few years worth of life cycle left. Unfortunately not one Boost Mobile rep in my area had it in stock. I called everyone within probably 200 miles to no avail. Every one of them said they only carried the IPhone 6. As old as that is, I wasn't interested. I'll just look online. I gave up after not being able to find it locally for about a week. Work, life, etc, I was busy.

    So that payday rolls around. I finally look online. They have it available to order. It's 100$ off too! What a win. I go and pay off the lease agreement thinking I can order the phone I want. This couldn't be further from what actually happens. I begin placing my order for the Boost-Up plan. It states 1$ down and 12$ for shipping. That's where they get you. The payment amount ended up being $55.43, at the time of purchase. The part where they charge you for taxes is in the fine print. Just borderline invisible. Fine, I'll pay this predatory BS. Just send me my phone.

    I finally get the order through, and everything paid. The money was deducted from the account and everything seems good. Next day shipping means it will be here Monday. I got excited way to early. Went to check the status of my order the next morning to find that it had been canceled. Fine, I'll call and see what the issue is. I spoke to 3 different people, and they all gave me a run around with no real information. I was told that I didn't have an email on file, which I did. I was told to wait 72 hours so their system could sync. That is BS, because I had to call CS and confirm my payment for the previous lease went through per the Boost Mobile store rep.

    The lady finally started trying get the order to go through again BY RESTARTING THE WHOLE PROCESS. I told her I will be switching carriers, and that I really appreciate her doing nothing to help me. I thought maybe the order would go through if I tried again, so I did, and got the same results.

For unforeseen circumstances I had to cancel service and requested the remaining $67 I was going to have left to just be refunded. Well since the credit was put on in July I can't get it back because it was too long ago so pretty much they are keeping my money.

    I then ask for a statement whether electronic or paper to show my bank to at least try to see if I could get the last $55 I sent in JULY back since that's the only option I was given to try and I need a subpoena for that. Customer service was terrible and kept making me wait to talk to a supervisor that never seemed to come and what customer service employee says "my bad" when you point out the answer to a question he just asked was already asked and I had to point that out because he obviously wasn't paying attention. I will never go with boost again. I've NEVER had a problem like this before with any other company. I'm very disappointed and hope this is seen before you decide to go with boost.

    I have been a Boost Mobile user for about 6+ years. I have had few problems until last Wednesday. I called Boost about not being able to access internet or make phone calls. I was on the call with their IT department for 58 minutes while he was trying to troubleshoot it, and at the end of that call, I was still having issues, and the IT guy told me it was probably my phone and for me to call manufacturer. He told me by the area code I gave him, it didn't show any service issues, so it again it was probably my phone. I did not agree it was my phone, so I waited and tried the internet later after I left the current area I was in, and sure enough it worked.

    So, the next day I called Boost what happened and since I wasn't able to use my services for the 2 days I had the issues, I thought I should get a credit. What came out of the customer service rep's mouth shocked me. She said she had no record of me calling so obviously I never had a problem. I explained, I have been a customer for years, I have no reason to lie, and to add, I have the call that I made from my company phone on the caller id. She again refused me service. I was so enraged I told her, "Well ma'am if the company I am a customer with thinks I am lying I no longer need to be a customer with Boost." She told me she hopes I stay and hung up. That enraged me more.

    So, based on that I went to get another cell phone carrier, and when I tried to get my phone activated with them, they told me Boost had some restrictions on my phone so I had to call them. Restrictions? I have never had any payment problems, so I am lost. Anyway, I called Boost to find out. The 1st time I called the customer service person hung up on me after telling me to hold so he could look at my account. So, 2nd time I called that customer service agent told me he needed to deactivate my phone before I switched carriers (note I want to transfer my same phone number), so after on hold for more than 10 minutes (he told me it would take time to deactivate my phone, he hung up.

    So, called a 3rd time, that customer agent told me my account had been deactivated. So, called my new carrier back. They told me Boost still had restrictions on my phone, and they weren't supposed to deactivate it until Straight Talk could transfer my account. REALLY? WTF? So, I called back once again, and got the message BOOST was closed. So, now tomorrow I have to go through more hell. This company should be shut down. Obviously their customer agents are getting away with doing this stuff. Note after I called the 2nd time, I asked to speak to a supervisor and this is still the unfinished result I have been given.

    I had suffered a broken back and had to be out of work for over two years. I had ran low on money this month because of some medical bills. I have been with Boost for about 13 year's so I called and asked about getting a extension on paying my bill. They not only gave me a free month of service but they also reduced my monthly payment by 10 dollars and gave me more Data. I really appreciate that they appreciated that I had been such a good customer for years. I have always been satisfied by their service and how good my phone performs. If you need a great phone at a great price give them your business, you won't regret it. Thanks.

    I was doing someone a favor and paying the cell phone. I thought they still had Boost Mobile. Come to find out they didn't. But my payment went thru on boost mobile even though the person didn't have an account with them. I call. I was told that the account was closed. There was nothing they could do to speak to my bank. My bank says to speak to them since the payment was processed. I call. The person wasn't understanding me. I asked to speak to a supervisor since he was of no help and he hung up on me.

    I call again. Ask for a supervisor. Get one and was told the account was closed and they couldn't check the history of this account. I say, "Well why was the money taken out and how do I get it back?" No one could help me. Now he said the account was closed two days after the payment was made - the day I called the first time. This company sucks. I even told them I could show thru my bank this money was taken out no that doesn't matter. If someone knows how to help me please let me know.

    I'm just curious why the internet speed is always extremely slow for a 60 dollar plan with 30GB hotspot. I was reading the reviews here and found the word throttling, meaning the company may be reducing speeds on purpose? It was the slowest ever yesterday. It's been an issue for six months and I think I may need to switch.

    Boost Mobile $50.00 cards are not throttled during times of congestion anymore but are now permanently throttled after 23 gigs till the end of the contract. After throttling occurs the speed varies from 1kbps to 10kbps not 27 like the terms and conditions stated. Most of the time after throttling the internet doesn't even work at all unless you reboot your device repeatedly until it starts again. The LTE sim and antenna even fails to make a connection with the towers during throttling. Compared to other providers throttling I would like to give Boost a zero star rating but there isn't one. Boost is by far the worst cellular phone service in the market.

    I've been a Boost customer for years and, until recently, have been mostly satisfied. However, I've now been without service for two weeks--I can't place or receive calls and only get texts intermittently. I'm missing calls from clients and missing out on work because of this issue. I've contacted Boost's customer service multiple times, but have gotten nowhere. No one has any idea when or IF service will be restored. They say the loss of service is due to a tower outage. But after two weeks, they still don't know if it will be fixed--I find that hard to believe. I've seen on the community page of Boost's website, that many customers country-wide are having the same issue--some have been without service for months.

    One kind rep I spoke to waived my payment for this month and even suggested "off the record" that I switch carriers. Another lovely rep at a store I visited did everything she could to help, but in the end also suggested that I cancel my service. I'm taking their advice and dropping Boost's service. Their own representatives recognize that this is a big problem... so why doesn't the company do something to remedy this?

    I was extremely dissatisfied with the deceptive and fraudulent nature of my recent purchase. I went to boostmobile.com to buy a cellphone that will be compatible with my Boost Mobile service, so I picked one, entered my credit card info, and hit send. It was at this time I discovered Boost refuses to mail stuff out via US Mail so it gets safely delivered to my mailbox. Boost Mobile only ships their phones out via Federal Express, AND they will only deliver to the address associated with the credit card. If you work for a living they still require that this packages be sent to your home, even though you cannot be there to receive it.

    If you don't have to worry about getting your FedEx package stolen, then great. If you cannot receive FedEx packages because they will be stolen, they you are out of luck. Boost forces their customers take a day off work so they can wait for Federal Express to deliver their package. Boost will not permit a new phone to be shipped to anyone's address at work, and Boost will not permit its customers to pick up at a FedEx location near you, or at any Boost Mobile store, or at any Walgreen's drug store with FedEx service; you can only have it sent to your home address, and they only use Federal Express. I may have gotten a good deal on a phone, if, in the end, it does get successfully delivered to me. But it also means I will have had to take a day off work, so my phone will actually cost much much more than the purchase price.

    I NEVER WOULD HAVE PURCHASED MY PHONE FROM BOOSTMOBILE.COM if there was a full and honest disclosure about their terms. You browse their site for hours, so you are invested it, then you decide to purchase, then you enter your credit card number, and only THEN do you discover what the terms really are, that you need to take a day off work to receive your new phone.

    The policy is deceptive because you are not informed about their requirements up front; and it may possibly even be fraudulent depending how expensive your lawyers are. The policy is not disclosed until after the credit card info is already submitted, because really now, who would willing buy a phone under such conditions? The true cost is never really disclosed, for example, $200 for the phone plus $200 in lost wages would equal $400. Not so much of a bargain after all.

    Thank you for your time. I am posting this as a warning, I am sure Boost is not ashamed of its policy. I wish I had been informed of this before starting, and I hope I can save other people some aggravation. DO NOT shop for a phone at boostmobile.com unless you can take a day off work to wait for FedEx to arrive, or if you work from home or do not go to work. I am extremely dissatisfied and feel like they tricked me. I've been using Boost Mobile for a number of years now and have no problems with the service.

    I switched to Boost yesterday and explained to the salesman what I needed in a phone. So after switching my service and spending $1,000, it is obvious that I was lied to. You cannot use internet, receive pics, receive emails, or anything involving data usage while on a phone call. So, when you complete your call, notifications go haywire and messages are missed that were needed while on the call. It is ridiculous to have to tell someone, "let me hang up, look at the design you made, and I'll call you back". You will have to do this multiple times on Boost network. After complaining to the store, the salesman said he would refund me small portion of my money but otherwise oh well. I never would have switched to this service had he not lied. To top it all of, the online chat service is horrible and getting through to a rep on the phone is painful.

One thing they do not tell you when you purchase a phone through them is yes you do or can have internet but you cannot use internet or send or receive multimedia messages while on a call. I am lucky to receive my text messages or phone calls. I have heard people telling me that they have texted or called and it never came through. You have to keep resetting your phone. Once you do that then everything comes flooding in and another problem I have is my service.

    My phone keeps roaming and it shouldn't. I could be smack dab in the middle of the towers and I still won't have service and a lot of my text messages will not send. They will turn orange and I have to keep trying to resend them. This isn't right. I pay all this money to have a nice phone and I pay on time every month and all they will tell me is to reset it and if that doesn't work then there isn't anything they can do. I have insurance on my phone and yet I have to pay $50 to get it replaced when I did nothing wrong. This is my 3rd phone with Boost Mobile. I highly suggest going with another carrier.

I don't frequent this location that often and tonight was in fact the reason why. :( I have been a Boost customer for some time now and tonight I wanted to just purchase my husband a new phone and that's it! We arrived at this location approximately around 7:52 pm. The open sign was still on (I took a pic). There appeared to be a customer still in the store so we thought let's get in real quick and get a most inexpensive phone and transfer the info when we get home.

    Well this rep saw us getting out of the car headed for the door to come inside, but as we got closer to the door we looked at the store hours then all of a sudden! the customer that was inside locked the door! It appeared the rep (Male) told her to do it. My husband and I looked at each other and asked why would he do that? I signaled and made a gesture as I pointed to my wrist like I had a watch on and said it's not time! I then read his lips as he pointed to his computer and said "Well my computer says it is." OMG! really!

    I must admit this made me very upset! This Male rep. I've been told has been rude in the past to other customers and while this is the reason I am considering changing to Metro. At least their customer Service is much better. This rep clearly doesn't have the best interest for the business. I am sending this review in hopes that the right person reads this.

    I have had quite a few incidents with Boost customer service lately. The first being every time I go to order a data pack on their website it does not do anything. You get to the final step to go to the cart to check out and nothing happens. It just keeps loading and loading. So I get on chat to ask about the issue. No explanation is ever given. They just order the data pack for me and it's fine. The next issue I had was trying to get a sim card for an unlocked phone. First I was told that they had it and it would be coming in the next few days. Nothing ever happened. I was supposed to get a confirmation email when the sim card shipped but it never did. So I contacted support again. They said that there was an issue with the first order and so they would reorder it for me.

    Again I waited the time they stated when I would get the confirmation email and never did again. I contacted support for the third time. This time they said they were out of stock for that particular sim card. How they are out of stock for a sim card I have no idea seeing as how they are a cell phone company. This time the person told me that as soon as they get it in stock they will send it to me immediately. So I ended up going to a Boost Mobile store and finding the proper sim card finally. I was in a rush for this because it was part of a trade in program through Samsung so I had to get the old phone in before a certain time period to avoid paying full price for the new phone. I was wanting to get the new phone activated before sending in the old phone so that I was not without a phone.

    A few weeks later I get two sim cards in the mail that I no longer need. The next issue really ticked me off. I was trying to get some headphones replaced by Samsung because they were not working properly. Samsung told me I needed a proof of purchase. I contacted Boost because I could not find the email with the proof of purchase. I went back and forth with them for many hours trying to get this. First I gave them the IMEI of the phone and they said they couldn't find any phone with that IMEI. Funny because that's the phone I use every single day. They then asked the email that I used to purchase the phone. I gave them that and they said they couldn't find any phone ordered under that email. I even used the account phone number and they also said they couldn't find the phone. I was even told by one of their reps that maybe I should just buy some new headphones since my phone was probably out of warranty anyway.

    Funny that Boost reps are talking about something they don't even know anything about. I did eventually find the proof of purchase in my email and sent it on to Samsung who were more than happy to replace the headphones. Boost shouldn't be making the decision for Samsung if they don't know what they are talking about. I also had a Supervisor look it up for me and because I couldn't remember the exact month I purchased the phone she said she couldn't find it. I know they are just yanking my chain because once I did find the proof of purchase I confirmed both the email and the phone number I gave them under which I purchased the phone. I even saw that the month I said in addition to a couple other months was actually when I purchased the phone.

    Just because I didn't say for sure it was July the Supervisor acted like she couldn't find the order. Every single time I have to talk to Boost customer service my blood pressure goes through the roof and I get so irritated. I understand they are a low end cell phone carrier but at least have a little customer service. I have been seriously considering switching carriers just because of the extremely bad customer service. If I didn't have a grandfathered plan with extra data I would switch in a heartbeat. Boost needs to get better with their customer service if they are going to survive as a carrier.

    Customer care/service sucks. They tell you what you want to hear then do nothing that they said they would. They will send you to a specialist only for them to tell you that they will make it right and fix the prob. They do not follow through with what they promise. Say one thing mean the opposite. Tell you wrong information. If they say they will take to higher up person there is NO higher up. I like the plan I am on and service the phone gives but when it comes to customer care don't waste your time. I would have given 0 star but there is no option.

    10 yr customer. Purchased new phone online and ended up not needing it after all. Went to return 11 days later, unused and unopened, and Boost told me no way because I was 4 days past their return window. Tried on several occasions to get them to reconsider — nope. So I requested the phone be unlocked since I paid full price and owed them nothing. Pretty reasonable, right? Wrong — they refuse to unlock the phone so I can sell it. Sounds like theft to me. Avoid these guys at all cost!

    I ordered a phone Samsung 7 from Boost Mobile online in April 2019. It heated up and froze up as soon as I opened it. I called instantly and was told to call back in two days because they didn't have record of it. Called back and was told that I would receive information via e-mail to return the phone. A week went by so I called back. I called every week trying to get a RMA. I finally got one in June. Then they told me I had to pay for shipping to ship it back. I was told to call a few days after I shipped the phone, which irritated me because it takes forever to get your point across. I called in a few days which was mid June and they couldn't tell me if they had received the phone or not. This process went on for two weeks and they finally told me I would get my refund to the account or card I paid with in 7 to 10 days.

    I called back the first week in July because of course I got nothing. So they attempted to call my bank on 3-way to verify if the funds had been received. OMG... SHE CALLED THE WRONG BANK. And then wasn't even on the line when they picked up. It is August 12th and I still have not gotten my money. It takes me 30 min to an hour every time I call just to accomplish nothing. I'm so pissed off and frustrated.

    Apple Certified Pre-Owned iPhone 7 Warranty SCAM. Hello Community, I just experienced a huge runaround. Took the Apple phone to the Apple store this morning. They said the order confirmation we have does not prove ownership?? The phone shows it was activated 2 years before we purchased it. We called Boost and asked for a receipt of purchase to provide Apple, of course they cannot provide it. Boost says Apple should honor the documentation. We called Apple warranty support and they tell us that the Apple Certified pre-owned warranty started when the original owner activated the phone??? So the warranty Boost said was on the phone which I paid extra for expired 1 year before I purchased it? We have been on the phone for 6 hours today working on this??

    We bought the phone in Dec of 2018, the original owner activated the phone in 2016. MY warranty was expired when I bought it. This is fraud.. Please respond to this post if you have the same issue. We did the whole private message thing with no resolution. Boost customer service gave up and put us off for 24-38 hours. Now we are paying for a phone that doesn’t work right, Lost a Saturday afternoon with my family, and paid extra for a warranty that doesn’t exist. Please, Please, Please, be careful when considering buying an iPhone from Boost. If they can work us over, they can do the same to you.

Including a transfer to Apple themselves. Apple then told me to take the phone back to the original store and get a new device because it could possibly be the phone its self after returning the original phone, the new they gave me did the exact same thing.

    I am incredibly disappointed with the treatment that I received from Boost Mobile. I have been a Boost customer for over three years now. I was looking to switch to Verizon due to an upcoming move and need for more expansive coverage. Boost allowed the account to be canceled and allowed the number and information to be ported to Verizon. They then proceeded to lock the phone and would not allow it to be activated through the new network. When asked why not, they claim that the phone must be owned for 12 months before they will allow it to be changed over.

    This is information that was never made apparent when I was purchasing my phone (In full under no contract). Not only would they not allow the phone to be activated through Verizon. They also refused to credit the amount that had already been paid for this month not even a week ago. They then also forced us to pay the full amount again to reactivate the phone. When my 12 months is up on the 27th I will be leaving this carrier and never returning. If you are considering Boost I would look elsewhere.

My son had issues with his phone causing us to get the same phone from Apple, but a replacement.

    I called Boost to get the account number to switch carriers and was not informed that I would not be able to use the phone because of the activation date of the replacement phone. However, next day I am trying to get it ported and it did not work. I had to call back and was informed that I had to wait a year for the replacement phone to be unlocked when we have had service on the same model phone for years. I hate Boost with a passion and I don't normally say this. It is a major disappointment and gives me anxiety every time I have to call them.

I then stated that I would drop the service provider for a more competent one because they were unable to help or give a meaningful answer. They then offered to reduce my monthly payment by $10 and offered a free month of service. I begrudgingly accepted and then they gave me a code to type in to reset my device with the new plan. And now my phone has repeatedly failed to set up the service via update. So my phone went from not working well, to not working at all. Customer service has been unhelpful.

If you decide to call customer service have a drink handy or a stress ball because you will be vibrating with anger and frustration at the experience. My complaint is this:

    My son was stranded and I needed to find him. He sent me his location and I put it in my maps. Along the way driving in an area I’m unfamiliar with, my unlimited data I pay for dropped, leaving me lost not knowing where I’m at and knowing my son is stranded somewhere. I pull over and call and explain I’m in my car lost and all my data just dropped making maps or anything requiring data to be useless. I asked to be reset from the tower as this was not the first time my data dropped and I “knew the drill”. She didn’t listen to what I said AT ALL. She asked for the address I was at. I repeatedly told her I was LOST and my son stranded. Just please reset me so I can go find my son..she said she couldn’t help without exact address..after several minutes of me trying to explain she finally said she could reset..then asked if I had a landline to use to reset my cell.

    I explained again that I WAS LOST AND IN MY CAR TRYING TO FIND MY SON..to save time I’ll say this; I was on the phone for another half hour with her and then the instructions she gave were not correct which caused me to call back, next rep transfers me back to automated system, the rep after that dropped the call, after that one, finally someone helped and I was on my way..an hour and a half later..

    Today I called to suspend my 13 yr old's phone number since the phone won’t charge. I’m the primary, they need the primary’s permission to add a line in the family plan..however the primary cannot suspend the number without a pin..no big deal..EXCEPT I now know the pin# I set up when I added her line was not put in correctly..so they wanted me to tell them the exact month day and year I added her number. Years ago..like we ALL just have that date locked in our memory..ugh so frustrating!!

    There is no option for the primary to suspend a number THEY’VE added without the pin or knowing the exact date you added it..and I knew MY pin# as the primary! They say you can email them with the phone number you want to suspend and a picture of some Identification..I explained at least 20 times that my 13 yr old doesn’t have ID..Customer Service reads from scripts, there is a big language/culture barrier that makes a disconnect in customer service understanding basic issues, countless hoops to jump thru for assistance, expect to repeat your issue several times to make them understand what you need. This is definitely not a company you can rely on especially in an emergency situation. They’ll likely not listen to you or understand. Worst customer service in my life. If I could leave this review with NO stars I would, but that’s not an option.

    I have had Boost Mobile for about 5 years now. I must say that I have never had a major problem with connectivity and data reach. I get service in some pretty rural areas. I live right outside of a major city, services always work, I rarely use wifi when at home. Calls never drop, I get all of my messages, but sometimes they are out of order.

    The one main complaint I have with Boost is that the phone they provide (or phones compatible with their service) is either super cheap or super expensive. I wish that certain phone (some that are classified as international phones) or phones of the mid-line category were available on their Network... They are not due to them being a CDMA. The phone selection is pretty slim in my opinion. Especially phones for Samsung. I currently have a Samsung J7 Perx, after having it for about 6 months it began moving slow. It's been 3 years now with this phone and it's almost unbearable how slow it can move and boost doesn't have too much of a better alternative unless I wanna pay about $700 for the Galaxy S9.

    I really wish that phones such as the Samsung Galaxy A50 or Samsung Galaxy A70 or even the Samsung Galaxy M40 were available on Boost Mobile, but Boost being a CDMA those phones won't even work remotely on Boost. I will still have to see if any of those phones work on other networks since they are meant for the international market but I just wish Boost at least was a contender to carry those phones, especially since they have such good service.

    I contacted Gadget Guardian and they want me to pay a $20 deductible to receive another ZTE MAX XL Android phone which are factory defective as to its display stops working. I already paid over $200 for the phone $180 plus tax, activation fees, $7 per month insurance and $82 per month for the service. I will NOT pay a $20 deductible for a defective replacement phone!!! I am so dissatisfied with Boost Mobile that my wife and I are switching to a different cell phone carrier.

    Grandson bought a phone, giving his home address. No one checked the address to see if coverage was even available. It's not. So he had 50 minutes on an unlimited plan, Boost Plus (whatever that is) and he has to go six miles to get coverage. No data, no calls without roaming and charges. I have tried reaching out to the office at 2121 University Ave, STE C, Des Moines IA with no success. The phone has been off the hook all day long. I even tried calling the Merle Hay office and she said she would text the manager that I was trying to get through. No luck. Now they just won't answer even though they don't close until 8 pm and it is only 4:45. Boost is a horrible provider, no support, uncaring employees.

    I bought a phone online and the package had the incorrect address and Boost needed to contact FedEx to update my address. They never called, the manager stated FedEx would not answer. Then the next sentence was it was too late to call. The manager argued with me of how I called a day after expected delivery date which was incorrect. I called the date of delivery. The end of conversation they stated they was not going to mail my phone back to me and I had to wait 48 hours after they receive the package back for a refund. I never wanted a refund, I want my phone I paid for! They did not offer for me to pick up a phone at a local store, no solutions period.

    Been having issues with my service since the end of March on 2 phones right after paying my bill. I’ve missed a promotional call. Have lost jobs. I’ve called back numerous times as instructed since they can’t call you back. I’ve had my issue escalated numerous times and with each escalation a new promise to be reimbursed and the problem fixed in a short period of time. I have dropped my plan down because I couldn’t use all my services and was given a partial credit last month to go toward the bill. Reluctantly I stayed believing that Boost would make it right as they told me. I was told before I paid my last bill if I was still having issues another month later they would credit this Month’s bill for the inconvenience.

    I was offered $25 and a lower plan and was told I wouldn’t be reimbursed as I keep being told with the tower down. I was also told I wasn’t offered this. Every time I call I’m lied to. Even the first rep today told me I shouldn’t have to pay the bill since I have been having issues for such a long time with services. So I’m left to pay for a bill for two phones with partial service. I already picked up a WiFi bill to have the internet at least at home. Very disappointed and now I know Boost doesn’t care about its customers. It’s time to switch to another carrier who does. Wish it wasn’t suggested to me all those years ago.

    Boost Mobile allowed someone to use my credit card information and when I tried to get the representative to give me the person's information he would not give it out, because he said it wasn't connected to the phone. That doesn't make sense, if a person uses a debit or credit card to purchase a phone there should be a record of the transaction. I just wanted to provide the information to the police so I can pursue charges or find out if Boost Mobile will.

    I had already disputed it with my bank and they informed me that insurance pays. That's not okay for me. Cost of insurance comes back to the consumers. Boost should take responsibility and keep track of charges so legal action can be taken against someone who uses their company to steal from others. I don't think Boost Mobile cares, well, that is exactly what the representative told me when I spoke with him today. He blamed me for allowing my identity to be stolen instead of accepting responsibility for providing a forum for thieves to steal from consumers.

    I noticed that Sprint "Boost Mobile" network towers have outages too many times. Brooklyn NY USA, last July 2018. I noticed that my $35 monthly plan with Boost Mobile 8Gs a month have been used up within a week. That was CRAZY. I hadn't used the internet at all. I called Boost Mobile customer care and they informed me that the Network towers were down, okay so I asked why had my GBs been used up. I had paid my bill about 3 days before. I didn't get a response. So I asked, "Will I get my unused GBs back?" I was told NO. THIS means that Sprint Boost Mobile is surely RIPPING Customers OFF.

    Since then I've changed to the $50 monthly plan off unlimited data plan. The difference between the GBs is that I don't run out of Data. It just runs slow and buffers tremendously. Once a month I check the status of the Network Tower Outages in Brooklyn NY. Every month they are down. This is illegal is it not, never has Sprint Boost Mobile informed customers about THIS. Like I said customers that have plans consists of a certain amount of GBs monthly are certainly BEING ROBBED.

    I started at Boost Mobile in July of 2017. Bought their phone, and was very satisfied with service, payment, ease of area connection until 3 weeks ago. Storm hit in San Diego, and suddenly lost 90 percent of my phone connection. I waited for an improvement, and now decided to change my mobile service to another company. I am sure the Sprint towers (Boost is subsidiary of Sprint) were affected so I have no choice to end with Boost. I have learned, even though there is no contract, if you buy their phone, it will be locked for a year, which they were not transparent about at time of purchase. My phone is eligible to be unlocked. This is where my problem started. I have phone company picked out and am anxious to switch, but cannot for 72 hrs because of Boost's 'policies'.

    This is NOT a good customer service "policy". If I had known that they could not unlock my phone so another company could put their sim card in my phone for 72 hours, AND if I had known they locked a phone that you bought from them for a full year, so you could not use that same phone, and would have to buy another one in order to change companies -- I would never have entered their store. Now I wait, and cannot change to the phone company I want for 2 more days. Also you cannot go through Boost store to create a "case" to unlock your phone. You are required to CALL customer service and is a real pain going through the time it takes to get to a live customer service employee to get the case started. It is very stressful and includes questions asked, I didn't want to answer.

    I was transparent from the beginning as to the reason why I was wanting to switch to another company, but again you have to go through time consuming recordings to get to the right person to tell your problems to so they can "troubleshoot" and create case for that too. They are not affected by losing you as a customer. The stores at Boost should be transparent about the sell of their phones having a condition of being locked for a year -- which is no different than a contract. It IS A CONTRACT with their phones. There is nothing written stating this condition with the sale of their phones. This should be illegal. I am not going to recommend a company that is not forthright and transparent with their policies. Facebook is a huge reason why companies should be careful with this matter of how they treat their customers. Goodbye Boost.

    On February 2, 2017 I purchased 7 Plus iPhone for the full price of $724.00 from Boost Mobile. I also purchased a prepaid plan card $45 each month. During my time with Boost Mobile experienced very poor service. As a result, I took my phone to Verizon. I knew that I would would need all the information for the phone, such as serial number, my four digit code number and other confidential information before Boost Mobile would release my phone and start a new service with Verizon Wireless, along with my phone number.

    It took approximately 2 hours over the phone with Boost Mobile inside the Verizon store with the staff assistance to get Boost Mobile to release my phone. Boost Mobile employee was very difficult, rude and argumentative with me and kept telling that I couldn't change provider. However, I knew this was a lie because I specifically had bought a cell phone that I can take anywhere. They lied relentlessly by insisting they can't release my phone. However, I assertively demanded that they release my phone as required and told them that they can't force me to stay with them.

    After two hours going back and forth with Boost Mobile, they finally released my cell phone and number to Verizon wireless. The hold time the Boost Mobile employee continued referring to some policy and contract required 12 months with them. I knew that I was not under any contract because I paid in full cash for my phone and NEVER signed any contract with them. Plus, I was purchased prepaid cards. I told them that they were committing fraud by making up fake contracts. When I threaten to sue, they entire two hour debate shifted quickly and my cell phone and number was released to Verizon wireless.

    Recently, I gave that exact same cell phone to my brother-in-law who did not have a phone. When he tried to have the phone activated with Straight Talk, he was told that the phone needed to be released by Boost Mobile. When he told me this I was shocked, as I knew that Boost did not have a hold on the cell phone, because my last provider was Verizon wireless. I called Boost to try and make sense of the problem. To my surprise I discovered on April 9, 2019 that Boost had once again committed fraud by reopening my account and locked my cell phone again. Even though, I had no active account or services with them since 2017.

    Again, the person on the phone with me stated the exact same thing I was told in 2017. That Boost policy and contract can't release cell phone until 12 months has passed. I asked how this was possible when my last provider was Verizon wireless and the phone was released in 2017 to Verizon. The Boost Mobile employee said he can't answer that.

    I demand that they immediately release my cell phone as they had no legal right or authority to reblocked my phone after I had left Boost service provider in 2017. I even spoke with a supervisor who was not able to explain to me how they took control of my iPhone again without my knowledge or awareness until recently. It's been several days now, with several phone calls and speaking to different people for up to an 1 hour each time arguing and debating with Boost Mobile the fraudulent acts they are committing by taking released cell phones hostage. I was told the issue would be investigated and I will get an email. Days have gone by and I haven't gotten an email from Boost Mobile or heard anything from them.

    This company keeps closed accounts open, reopen closed accounts and reblock cell phones when they have no authority or right to your confidential information. One other thing they told me was buy "Take my phone kit". I did that and still my phone remained blocked by Boost Mobile when it shouldn't be. As of this date not one Boost Mobile representative is able to explain to me why they have taken control of my cell phone.

    I wish there was a button for 1/4 star or 1/2 star. I feel this company is not ethical because I've been lied to by several customer service agents and they refused to give me my 12.00. Technically it's not the amount of money so much as it is the principle of it, it is my money and they should have done what other reputable companies do to refund your balance once you are no longer with them. Boost Mobile was continuing to carry over my $12 instead of using it to apply it to the next month bill so, when I switched service from boost to another carrier they told me they couldn't do anything, I had to take it up with my credit card company. Long story short I still have not received my money back from Boost Mobile. I even had a 3-way call with a Boost Mobile representative and my credit card company and finally my credit card company said "I see what's going on here," and asked the the Boost representative to disconnect from the call.

    The credit card company told me Boost Mobile had no intention of giving me my money back, very disappointing and sad that a large company like that can be so underhanded and keep people money. Over the course of two weeks I spoke with numerous customer service agents and a few supervisors. I was put on hold for long periods of time, I had one customer service representative yell at me and talk down to me and several of them Hung up on me. Almost half of them told me they couldn't see my account/didn't see I have a credit because I ported my phone and was no longer with them to which I replied that's a lie because the representatives before you could see it just fine. Only then were they able to miraculously find the account.

    One supervisor told me I would be hearing back from them within a week. The financial department would contact me and let me know whether or not they were going to give me my money back. They never contacted me so I called back and asked for the financial department. That representative told me they don't have a financial department. The customer service agents do all that and can see everything and the account. When I began asking him when I would receive my $12 he promptly replied he couldn't see my account, I had to remind him that he just told me he could see everything in the account... True story.

    After being hung up on several times by different customer service Representatives I realized that was their game, to put you on hold and then hang up on you. It takes a while to reach a live person so when you do it's horrible to be hung up on, ask the same questions over and over by various Representatives because they do not want to put you through to a supervisor or manager.

    From the beginning, Boost Mobile was not very impressive. We thought the price of service was great, so we thought we could save a few bucks.

She didn’t enter any of our information correctly except my name, then asked for a Pin we wanted and used something completely different. We stayed with Boost for about 7 or 8 months, until we decided we wanted to get new phones. We bought new iPhones direct from Apple. They transferred the first one with no issues. Okay, great. We got the second phone a week later and everything went downhill from there.

    The lady from Boost kept saying the phone was not compatible, so we called Apple. Apple was great and even called Boost Mobile. Then after those two talked, we were on the phone with Boost again. Getting told it was not compatible yet again! We were on the phone for 2 hours with Boost Mobile and getting very aggravated at that point. The rude lady from Boost Mobile hung up the phone on us and we found out she turned off the one cell phones service. And you think we could have just gone to a Boost store around here, ha!

    I was planning on switching to Boost so I could get the $25 iPhone 6s promo. I'm currently with a competitor service, and my iPhone 6s I got through them needs to be repaired, so I figured it'd be wiser to just switch my service and get a 2nd iPhone rather than paying the same price for a repair. I went to one Boost Mobile store, they took my info, then after making me wait, informs me that they need me to pay 3 months in advance, which the website did not say. The only conditions listed on the website were that you had to switch your service before 4/15/19 to a $50, $60, or $80 plan. She said the price would be around $260 total, which doesn't add up. 3 x 50 = 150 + 25 = 175 + activation fee... Yeah, there's no way that comes to $260, but whatever.

    So, either that store has its own policy that doesn't make sense, or Boost omitted important info on its website to deceive customers. Which it is, I'm not sure, because stores I called declined to give any info over the phone, and the customer service line had no info on the promo. What a disorganized mess of a company. So, instead of wasting my time physically going to brick and mortar locations who are probably just going to try to extort me for extra money if I want the "deal", I'm just going to have my original iPhone fixed.

My son and I have the same iPhones but different providers, he has reception on his. My phone on Boost Mobile, has NOTHING! He is standing 2 feet away from me and calls my phone, I can hear his phone ringing, my phone nothing! No ringing, no missed call notice, no reception! I send him a text with a picture, he gets NOTHING, I get error message, Failed to deliver! Phone shows 3 bars, I can’t make a call, no service! Yes, Boost has several low priced plans for their service, but when the provider doesn’t deliver, even FREE is overpriced!

    Not sure which provider I will go to but, when it’s time to pay my monthly service payment, it will not be with BOOST! Yes, I did call Boost Mobile with my concern. Boost so graciously offered me a $30.00 credit on my next bill. Not better service, not a reduction on my plan price, $30.00 on my next bill! $30.00 credit is an insult for 15+ years of loyalty to this company! What I want is better reception! PS: yes, I checked the coverage map of my location, dark green for cell and dark orange for data. Both are ‘BEST’ but NO THEY ARE NOT! If this is best, I would hate to see the Fair!

    I was with Boost for years because I figured that all plans that were prepay like that were the same. They are not. I switch to Metro because Boost phones have always broke down on me. I used to buy the insurance but anything that goes wrong with your phone it never seems to be under the insurance. Their phones are never high quality. The customer service is the worst I've ever experienced. When I did switch to Metro I had prepaid for 2 months ahead of time and it is still taking me 3 weeks to get my money back from them that Naomi and I'm still fighting them for it. Every customer service issue I have ever had has never been resolved in the nice timely manner with them. That is one of the main reasons I switch other than with other phone companies, you get better phones and deals but I will never go back to Boost.

    It seems that everyone in their customer service department is named Mike and they all have such an accent that I couldn't understand them and they hardly understood me which made it very hard to communicate my issues. On the plus side with Boost the coverage I never had an issue with. It was always my phone's operation or dealing with customer service that tended to make me want to leave.

She hooked it up without me saying yes and proceeded to tell me my bill was 125.00 in which I couldn't afford at that time. She told me there was nothing she could do and for me to call customer service. And there was nothing that they could do. I'm disappointed in the way that they handle their customers.

    Purchased a pre-owned iPhone 6s on January 31. Freezes on and off, then the screen completely stopped working. Called Boost, they transferred me to claims and was told I receive a replacement no longer than March 4. I returned the phone as instructed on the 25 of February. Noticed March 4 was near and I received no tracking number. Called again and was told I would have wait an additional 7 to 14 days. Feed and not wanting to receive another defective phone I requested a refund instead. Boost kept transferring me to the claims department stating, they have to refund me.

    After numerous back and forth, the claims department informed me that they have no idea why, Boost keeps sending me to them, they do not do refunds. He asked that I contact Boost again and add him to the call. While talking to the Boost rep, they stated they would transfer me to the claims department and the gentlemen from the claims department interrupted her and let her know that Boost Mobile is responsible for refunding, she then put me on hold and stated she would start my refund request process, but would need my phone sent to them, to give me my refund.

    The claim department guy stated he would send the phone to me so I can return it to Boost. After the claim department guy hanged up, I was put on hold once again and the rep said I passed the 7 day refund elibility, this was not stated anywhere on the warranty I received, which I told the rep and she stated well that’s the policy for preowned phones. I tried recording my conversation from then on because all the reps have been lying to me and was told it was against their policy to allow customers to record them, if that isn’t a sign to not trust them, I don’t know what is.

    I recently purchased a “certified pre-owned Apple iPhone 7”, for my grandson from Boost’s website which cost 279.00. I could have purchased the exact same phone for 199 but the certification came with a 1 year limited warranty from apple, so I chose to spend the extra money. After downloading my grandson’s entire iCloud full of stuff, the new phone needed to be charged but lo and behold the charging port was broken. The charger could not fit into the port because of a blockage.

    My immediate thought was to call Apple, I have always been extremely happy and pleased with their customer service and because I had a one-year limited warranty it was the first place I thought of. Within five minutes of them answering the phone it was determined that the phone I bought did not have a warranty attached to it. As a matter of fact giving them the serial number and IMEI number, they told me that the warranty on that phone had run out 60 days prior. So I called Boost Mobile and was on the phone with them for almost 3 hours trying to explain what I just typed. It’s not rocket science.

    Finally they told me to call their warranty department which I did this morning. And don’t you know that their warranty department had no account from my phone either. So back to the drawing board I went, called boost one more time, spent another hour or so on the phone with them and they told me to go into the Sprint store. So I started my venture with my grandson in tow, where I spent the next three hours on the phone with boost one more time. In actuality the Sprint store could do nothing for me because they are not Boost Mobile, however with that said they were really awesome. During this three hour conversation after demanding to be connected to somebody that could understand when I was trying to tell them they connected me all right…

    Right back to Apple! I explained the situation to Apple and they called Boost Mobile with me on the phone listening for an hour, after which time they gave me a virtual pat on the back, wished me good luck and rightfully hung up. The bottom line is that there is no one year warranty with Apple on any pre-owned phone at all regardless of whether or not it is certified. I had the representative pull up their own website and read out loud, all about the wonderful phone I was getting and the amazing warranty it had. Only to have them say that it was not true.

    So now between the hours I spent at the sprint store the hours I spent on the phone with boost and the time I’m spending doing this review I think I probably have spent a good 10 hours dealing with this. Please don’t take my word for it… Go to boostmobile.com, click on phones then click on all phones and scroll down until you see an Apple certified preowned phone, click on get it now and read all the wonderful things they have to say about it. They finally agreed that I could send the phone back and get a refund but I had to pay for the shipping. That’s when the straw absolutely broke the camel’s back. I will be sending a letter to the attorney general… Although their phone service is pretty decent their ethics are unconscionable. You can’t even go into a boost mobile store because each one of them is a franchise. There is literally no one you can talk to that can remotely help. So please beware don’t do it!

    I've been a Boost customer for nearly a decade. My daughter bought me a new phone for my birthday costing $353 on November 9, 2019. She paid for a month's service as well. The following month I paid for another month's service $50 unlimited talk text and data with hotspot. On December 26 I called customer service inquiring about a promotion I thought I would be eligible for when I was asked to provide my personal pin then placed on hold, then disconnected. I tried calling again but I could only reach an automated voice message telling me my account had been suspended.

    The following day I kept getting that same message. At one point I received a different message saying "congratulations your number has been switched to Sprint, if you're having problems with your phone, power it off and back on, welcome to Sprint, goodbye". When I did as the message instructed it went back to the Suspended message. I couldn't contact customer service or anyone. I went into a Boost store where I was told they could do nothing but sell me another phone and or another month's service. They did get my phone to reach customer service. After hours of speaking to them and being transferred to countless reps. I asked to speak with a supervisor. After a couple more hours with him and being placed on hold numerous times, his final instructions were that I needed to purchase another phone and additional service if I wanted the issue resolved.

    He said that they had no record of my account ever existing nor any record of the phone number ever existing. I flipped out at this point. I spent countless hours for over a week going into the store where I purchased the phone and pay my monthly service with my receipts of the phone my daughter purchased and from paying my monthly service and talking to customer service using other people's phones and sometimes when I could reach them by redialing the number the rep. had previously on my phone. Where I WAS TOLD THE SAME THING "THE ACCOUNT DOES NOT EXIST". After I no longer had any hope my son called speaking on my behalf.

    He spent 5 hours straight only to be lied to and told they would have their investigation team investigate the issue and it would take until 11 am the following day. Of course that was completely untrue. After 6 days without service, I finally spent some of my rent money on another phone and service and activation fees. When I contacted customer service this time I was told by the supervisor rep. that they had tried reaching me but their calls went directly to voicemail and that I should try answering my phone. I couldn't believe what I was hearing. I hung up and went straight to the FCC website where I filed a complaint, then onto the CPUC and filed another. Where apparently they are linked as they said I filed more than one complaint.

    After 8 days of no service my son called me on my new piece of ** phone doing a 3 way call with Boost and after 4 straight hours of straight bs. I was able to make calls but neither my number or account had been restored. Around 630 3 more hours later my number was restored. It wasn't until January 17 when I was notified my account was restored. However I haven't verified that yet. I was given a total of $95.00 of credit on my account. Even though I spent more on a phone and service. I asked for a refund in the same form of which I was forced to pay and was denied. Oh and Boost called me providing me a "Personal" pin number that THEY CREATED for me which stands for the devil. So in all honesty my account wasn't completely restored.

    What the FCC refers this as being, is SLAMMING. It's when they switch your carrier without your authorization. It's considered CRAMMING when they add costs to your account for services you didn't request or authorize. It's called EXTORTION when they instruct you to purchase products and services you've already purchased and they've stopped those services and lock the product so you are forced to pay for them again in order to get your previous services and purchases restored and working again. I call them CRIMINALS and hope that someone who has the authority to deal with this, reads this.

    I have had Boost Mobile for about a year and a half. I set my account up via their auto pay method to which my debit card would be charged $45 a month for my plan. Several times within the past year, when I attempted to make a call I was told by an automated message that my account did not have enough funding in it causing the use of my phone to be of "limited service".

    Attempting to get a service agent on the phone has been difficult each time and grows more difficult accordingly. When I do get an agent, I explain the issue that I have an account that is paid via my debit card. Most times they advise that the card has surpassed its expiration date. Each time I had to provide them with the card number and expiration date. The agent advised me that there is a $5 charge to create an auto pay scenario. Each time I had to convince and remind them that there is a $5 discount via the auto pay method. Once I was told that the issue was "my fault" because I had let my card expire without updating the info for a new card. That was completely false as Boost was given the proper information several months earlier about my new card. They tried in vain to charge me the extra $5. After much deliberation, they finally backed off and gave me the discount.

    Today I tried to make a call again. Again I was told that my account was lacking funds so I only had limited service. I finally got an agent on the line. After explaining the issue to him, he asked me for my card number along with expiration date and asked me to confirm my name. When I spelled my name, he advised that they were missing a letter in my last name and that is why the card was not charged properly. Once they had the correct spelling, he said that they will put through a $50 payment through. I stopped him from doing that advising that the card in question has been the card on record for at least a year and that payments have been made via auto payment prior to this month. His response was he had to reestablish the auto payment scenario again to which there is a $5 charge for doing so.

    Needless to say I lost it. I told him that this has gone on in the past and not to charge my card for anything at this point. I have had it with Boost Mobile. Their billing department obviously has issues of keeping accurate info on hand for the accounts they have, or worst do this intentionally to get that extra $5 each time there is an issue with auto pay. Their customer service staff is either incompetent, complacent or very poorly trained. WHEN IT COMES TO BOOST MOBILE, KEEP THE SWITCH IN THE OFF POSITION.

    Updated on 01/15/2019: So finally after making an FCC complaint I got to get in contact with a general management representative from Sprint PCS representing Boost Mobile. They still refuse to unlock my device which I have stated in a previous complaint. Apparently they have a policy against customers recording their calls but they want to record ours if Sprint/Boost Mobile had nothing to hide and was not doing anything wrong. Why would they care if we recorded them. If they are recording us any more serious issue strong-arming customers that cannot use their service and do paying for service that cannot be used in order to have your device unlocked is an unfair practice in my opinion.

    Do not recommend Sprint nor Boost Mobile for anyone in the future and I used to be a Sprint A Plus customer for several years. To be treated this way after all the money and time I've spent with this company sickens me. Customers beware. #sprintmoblie # boostmobile. PS I would not even write them with a half a star let alone a quarter of a star. Unfortunately have to pick something.

    Original Review: I purchased a Boost Mobile telephone October 7th 2017, headed activated for six straight months. Moved to a new area where Boost Mobile service is not provided to find out that I cannot have my device unlocked or use my device that I paid outright for and own. After two weeks of attempting contact customer service as well as general management they refused to allow me to speak with a general manager. I've been told that they do not have a general manager. I was told that my new service provider could unlock my device. I was told that the manufacturer of my device could unlock my device.

    I was lied to multiple, multiple times, hung up on more than 7 times. Filed a complaint with the FCC. Customers beware. Also was told that Sprint does not own Boost Mobile. Buy Sprint as well as Boost Mobile as I was a Sprint A+ customer for years. Cannot believe I was treated this way. I will never use Sprint or Boost Mobile as long as I live. #sprint #boostmobile.

    Overcharged twice by Boost Mobile, once at their store, once with a card. The lady at the store remembered me, got that one resolved. Customer service is almost nonexistent. They will rip you off just a question of when.

    I pay about 35-$40 a month and they give you a lot for the money. I get hotspot but the internet is kind of slow so that’s what I’ve been but it does work.

    I have had Boost Mobile service for some time now. Service is horrible. The customer service is worse. It's always "Can I get your address"? "Yes sir. The tower is being serviced". Most of the time my phone reads 3G with maybe 2 bars on a 4G service!! I strongly advise that you get what you pay for. Don't buy Boost!! Cricket Wireless is a child of AT&T. I'm going there. Way better service and coverage area.

    I’m became a recent new customer with Boost Mobile switching from Metro PCS. Everything from confusing three SIM cards to the activation, I should stop right there and just stick to Metro PCS cause I never dealt with so stress, and this is what happens when you just be curious and try something different for a change. I want to switch but Customer Service is like keeping my account number hostage. I message them and got a reply back like.

    "Thank you for contacting us through Boostmobile.com. We understand you want your account number, is this because you want to take your number to Virgin Mobile, Sprint Prepaid, or Sprint Postpaid? If so, please know that you don't need your account number to switch to these carriers. You only need your mobile phone number and your four-digit PIN." Um why need to know why I need it for? I feel I have every right to do whatever I want. I’m sorry they’re like this maybe change it up to keep customers then.
