Boost Mobile Reviews Summary

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.

Broken screen
September 23, 2021

Lets start with customer service... that it has become very hard to understand anything they are saying for one... So my young son dropped his phone and cracked the screen you can't see anything on the screen so I called boost and they ask for a pin. I dont know the pin to my son's phone and neither does he because he never put a pin on the phone. They told me that they cant help me. So if you have a family plan with these guys make sure you get every Factory pin number that they have on your phone or you will doing what I'm going today switch phone service ASAP...

The worst Company.
September 23, 2021

Beside that the signal is bad, this Company is a ripoff. I order a phone on line, they made a mistake and they don't giving me my money back. Customer service isn't working right. Plus I moved one of my lines to a different Company, and they never released the line, so I have to get a new number, I couldn't transfer my number. Don't make business with Boost, believe me is a headache.

Don't lose your pin # or you will have to remember what you ate 10 years ago, who you were with and what were the political events at that time.

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.

Virgin to Boost RIP Off
September 9, 2021

Virgin accounts were NOT grandfathered and rates were doubled for pay as you go. Boost refused to reimburse our 2 Virgin accounts with stored credits of almost $800. The account transition was fraudulent and very misleading in my opinion.

Boost Mobile made me lose my phone number I've had for the last 12 years. They are rude, contradicting and untrained bullies. I called Boost to try activate a Sim and bring over my existing number and was told to call my current provider and disconnect the number first. I thought this sounded wrong but the operator repeated the instruction and confirmed I SHOULD cancel with my current provider first. So I did as l was told and then called Boost back where another operator answered and told me I SHOULDN'T have cancelled my number and they now can't bring it over. I explained that their colleague just told me to do this and was then met with "do you have proof?", "sorry can't do anything now", "that's too bad".

Speechless
September 4, 2021

Please steer away if you have any sense, I would advise to run away if you can. Absolutely incapable customer service (I really don't understand the point of them in the first place, all they do is enter numbers you give them and Parrott scripts even if you talk to a "supervisor" who decides to hang up on you when she realizes she can't do anything). Did you ever have a customer service representative (apparently a supervisor with 10 years of "experience") hang up on you without even really trying to help?

My issue for what it matters is with the fact their site told me my phone is "eligible" to be activated on the network. Apparently this is not the same as "it will work"... I made a mistake of paying for a full year of service in advance... (for a discount...) based on that piece of misinformation. I am simply stupefied that no one there is able to override the system and just link the IMEIs. Apparently it took them 4 months to get S21 phones to work...

I am guessing whoever made their system is long gone and the current people are criminally incapable. It is a recipe for disaster. Use at your own peril.

One of the worst customer service departments I have seen. Be very aware that you cannot trust them. Coverage they say will be outstanding may not work at all. They will ship you the phone and when the phone does not work they will send a new Sim. But be very careful. The time to get the sim will count against you for the 7 day return policy. And they you are stuck! You will have a phone a Bill and NO service. None, Zero,
And Nada. And then you have to beg to a talk to a Supervisor, he is rude, does not care and will tell you basically tough luck. He does not offer to help in any way. A real jerk. Even says that there is no on in Boost Mobile higher than himself so there is no one else to call. BEWARE! Terrible. Warning! Do NOT deal with them.

I have had boost for 3 years and had not had an issue with this phone service till now. My phone is an older phone so it's slower so I decided to change my SIM card so it would be faster. I got a SIM card for free in the mail no problem. Then I changed the SIM card over and I had terrible service (it would bounce back from saying no service to boost with one bar in my own home where I would normally get service) and then I would get this notification that took over my entire phone screen about my SIM card sending a message even though I wasn't texting anyone. So I've talked to a lot of different employees for three days which was a waste of time. Every employee said to do the same thing and they were not helping (but most of the employees were very nice). Then I got a technician to help me and they told me to wait 24 hours and it will work… it's been more then 24 hours and nothing has been fixed. They have just lost a customer. Their service used to be good but now it's terrible.

You have to call and waste time on the phone in order to get your account number i dont like to talk or be on the phone with agents i hate it i dont like it why is this phone company so difficult? And expensive, even if its a 5g phine the service is still slow the intetnet on thr phone it self is very slow they even give you a free broad band wifi box to make it all better like who wants to walk around with a wifi box so your 5g phone can work better? How dare yoy people? Thid company is a joke and i hate it so much its beyond words iam 33 yrs olf never had multiple problems with any phone company. I have ppl calling my 2 10 year olds phones there was a number that text my daughters phone with a link to porn. I got the numbers changed on my childrens phones and still telemarketers and bill collectors calling from different places for who ever had this number previously boost caint do nothing about it i hate you people
