Poor customer service!
November 7, 2022

Your my boost app is worthless. Getting ahold of an actual operator is impossible. $35.00,10 gigs. Other phone companies give fifteen gigs for the same price.

50 & 60 dollar unlimited plans STILL LIMITED. Doesn't really give you unlimited nothing, hotspot still runs out and data is really slow.
Even the 35 dollar plan the Internet actually STOPS WORKING COMPLETELY!
Boost mobile sucks like af and wouldn't recommend it to anyone

I rate Boost Mobile a negative zero (-0). Boost Mobile is by far the worst company in U.S. history to purchase a cellular phone from. "Every word I write is my opinion of Boost Mobile and their staff." Please do not patronize Boost Mobile at ******* Tara Blvd., Ste. F." When I first purchased a phone from Boost Mobile the guy was too relaxed to transfer data from one phone to another phone. He recommended I visit Best Buy and they can transfer the data, which I did for a fee. On 06/06/23, a woman associate was unprofessional, lack competency, failed to make simple/wise decisions, bad customer service, insensitive, bad hair/wardrobe, inconsiderate, untrustworthy, and desperately needs to take a course/seminar on how to relate and interact with customers, lack communication skills and intelligence, unreliable to transfer data from one phone to another phone. I wouldn't recommend her or Boost Mobile to purchase a cellular phone from. There are numerous reputable companies that provide/possess great interpersonal skills, deals, intelligence, knowledge, communication skills, excellent customer service and take good care of their customers. Repeat, please take your business elsewhere. I wish Boost Mobile much success. God Bless.

Last year, i paid extra for using my phone, while i am in canada. Alas, never got that service. They hung up my call after 45 minutes waiting!
Now i bought samsung galaxy s10, on line boost deals.
The adress was incomplete, and my purchase is returned!
Today i spent an hour on phone with boost customer service, to get my phone back. She said it is done! I thanked her. BUT BOOST CALLED ME BACK TELLING, MY PHONE GOES BACK TO SENDER, AND AFTER THAT THEY WILL REFUND THE MONEY!
I HAVE MORE TO SAY ABOUT BOOST, BUT, FORGET IT. THEY ARE HOLELESS.

Virgin Mobile sold my 11 year account to Sprint, who sold it to Boost. I had two identical phones, both worked at the same time when I was with Virgin Mobile. Only one worked by the time they sold my account to Boost. My working phones screen was having intermittent problems and I wanted to port my number to the other phone. I went into Boost and the employee said "no problem." After an hour in the store I walked out with TWO PHONES THAT DIDN'T WORK. SHE BRICKED THEM. Boost mobile has no contact that I could find but I would love to sue them.

Boost reps are liars!
March 20, 2022

Where to start? I had been a customer for 5+ years. I had bought and paid for a phone thru them and early this year it refused to charge. We had an extra phone, the same exact model, my bf bought from Straight Talk. The phone was unlocked and Boost reps lied and refused to activate. The phone is activated right now thru another carrier. Boost lied over and over saying it was not unlocked and I was pushed into a situation of purchasing a new phone thru Boost in order to keep my #. This new phone I am currently writing this from, is bought and paid for and should belong to me. But I need to keep paying these thieves thru the rest of the year until my phone can be unlocked and I can move to another carrier. Since my phone at the time was completely dead, we used my bf phone to call boost customer service, he was also on the line telling them that his phone was unlocked. We had given them his number as a call back number (remember my line was dead) and for 3 days he received prank phone calls from India. Not the usual scams where they are trying to get something from you. These were very 'unprofessional' sounding pranks where they were just doing this to taunt us. You want to know how scammers are getting phone numbers? I'd check employment records of all the outsourced mobile carriers customer service centers first!

Total Regret
October 26, 2022

I went to one of the Boost mobile stores and they sold me on a lot empty promises. The coverage is horrible I can hardly get through a call with out some type interruption weather its a dropped call or just dead spots. I cant call from my house and I live in Bloomington Mn. It has been 3 months of horrible service I could not take it any more. I have been looking for a different carrier and found one that will work period. But Boost mobile will not release my phone that I paid big bucks for. They say you don't have a contract with them and you can leave any time you want. But after paying 375 dollars for phones that work very well they will not release them so I can use them with another carrier. When there service doesn't meet there promises and you need the service you were promised at least the ability to make uninterrupted calls. They should allow you to leave with your phone. After about 6 hours on my home phone with there customer services team because my cell phone doesn't work. They said you need to use there service for 12 months before they will release the phones. I will now have to purchase new phones with a carrier that will work for me and throw out the phones from boost mobile. Be very care full that you don't make the same mistake I did and spend 375 dollars on phones that you can only use for 3 months.

Theft
December 17, 2021

I had boost for a little, it was nothing but a headache. Their app is terrible, how to pay is terrible. I paid my month's bill on October 1st 2021 then put another month on my account so I had it to pay for December 1st that money disappeared and I had to pay another 57 dollars when my phone was shut off. Now today my account is suspended because I disputed the money I put in my account because of having to pay again. DONT USE THIS COMPANY

Miserable
March 14, 2023

I have had boost mobile for 7 years and was extremely satisfied with their service UNTIL NOW. Their customer service has been down for 3 weeks first of all who does that? It came time to add money so I bought a re boost card as I have for the past 7 years. Well how bout customer service is down automated line also down. I could go to boost online except I forgot my pin so I couldn't add money that way. Bottom line I have been without phone service for 7 days and they have done ABSOLUTELY NOTHING WHATSOEVER TO HELP ME.

WORSE SERVICE
March 22, 2021

STAY AS FAR AWAY FROM BOOST AS U CAN. TERRIBBLE CUSTOMER SERVICE. THEY WILL NOT COMPROMISE. THEY LIE. DISCONNECT SERVICE CALLS TO GET RID OF YOU. MANAGEMENT IS NO BETTER. THEY WILL ALSO CHARGE U FOR SERVICES THAT DO NOT WORK, THEN REFUSE TO REFUND UR MONEY BACK TO YOU. FOR 3 MONTHS THEY COULD NOT FIX A SIMPLE PLAN ADD ON. IT DID NOT WORK, THEY TOOK $10 × 3 MONTHS $30.00 TOTAL. REFUND WAS DENIED! SO THEY STOLE MY MONEY AND REFUSED TO REFUND. I HAVE NEVER DEALT WITH ANY CELL SERVICE WHO REFUSED CUSTOMER SERVICE TO THEIR CUSTOMERS. STAY AWAY!

Boostmobile kept sending me text messages to get my free 5G card for my phone. So after several messages I decided to get the free SIM card. Seeing how the network was being upgraded. It was mentioned that to get the best service I would have to get the card. What I wasn't told till after getting the card and calling Boost to activate the new card was that they would increase my monthly bill. BEWARE of BOOSTMOBILE and it deceptive practices. They refused to put me back on my old plan.

Overview

Boost Mobile's reputation is significantly marred by consistent complaints regarding customer service and product reliability. Customers frequently express frustration over long wait times, inadequate support, and unresolved service issues, including poor coverage and delays in order fulfillment. While some positive feedback highlights helpful individual representatives, the overall sentiment indicates a lack of cohesive support and organization within the company. Additionally, concerns about misleading information and billing practices further detract from customer satisfaction. This combination of factors suggests a pressing need for Boost Mobile to enhance its customer service protocols and improve service reliability to retain its clientele.
