On 6/13/25 I went to the *********** in ****** ** to buy a new iphone because my old one was broken. The salesperson suggested I switch carriers from Spectrum to Boost Mobile and said that ***** partnered with Boost and it was great. ******** had just raised my rate, so I thought why not. For some reason it took the Apple *** 2+ hours to call Boost and get my account activated. Then he said he couldn't finish porting it over and I had to go to the local Boost store. Then, the *** in the Boost store had no idea why I was there and said he couldn't help. Driving home a phone call dropped out 3 times and I realized Boost was unacceptable carrier for my needs and I made a mistake. As soon as I got home I switched back to Spectrum mobile from Boost. I called Boost that day and told them I was leaving and they put me back with Spectrum. That should be the end of the story but NO. I kept getting bills and emails from Boost. I called them 6 times to say I WAS NOT A BOOST CUSTOMER. They kept saying sorry. However, a few days ago $55.10 was deducted from my bank account for my ********************** bill. I went to the Apple Store to complain and the manager said "You signed a contract for 3 years with Boost - too bad! You're on autopay!" I said I never signed anything. Show me the contract and my signature and he said, "Well, you pushed a button." I added "I was never told it was a 3-year contract." I added, "Pushing a button? That is not a legal contract." And the Apple *** said, "If you are threatening me with a lawyer then this conversation is over." I asked for the name of the salesperson and a copy of the receipt and he refused both requests. Then he got on the phone with Boost and he said, "You had 14 days to cancel and you didn't." (I had canceled in 3 hours.) He later said "They will let you out of the contract if you pay them $55.10." I'd been in the *********** for over 2 hours by then and I was exhausted and sad. REQUEST: I'd like a refund of $55.10 please. And then no more BOOST.Business Response

You stated that you ported your phone number to Boost Mobile at an Apple store on June 13, 2025, but the service was not working well, so three days later you ported back to your previous carrier. You were charged for a month of service after porting out, so you returned to the Apple Store. You said that the store employee told you that you signed a three-year contract and your account was on autopay. You asked for a receipt,but your request was denied. You requested a refund.
We apologize for any inconvenience you may have experienced at the Apple Store.
Boost Mobile does not use contracts for cell phone service. Our records indicate that a device was financed with a three-year term on your account. It was fully paid off on June 16, 2025.
The Boost Mobile Terms and Conditions disclose that payments remitted to Boost Mobile are final and non-refundable;however, I made an exception and authorized a $55.18 refund. Please allow seven to ten business days for processing.

My card has been charged twice, once on 7/29 and once today 7/30 for $26.18. I do not have service with boost mobile. Prior to this, I had service years ago. I've never once paid for anything with this card, so I don't even know how they would have this information. It comes up as BOOST MOBILEENGLEWOODCOUS as the merchant. Due to other hardships in my life, I hope it does not continue.Business Response

I purchased my iPhone from boost over a year ago when I bought the phone I was not told I would be locked into service with boost with this device for a year before I could transfer device. In April I contacted boost to transfer my device and number to new provider because I get terrible service everywhere with boost and was told multiple times I had to wait until the end of June 2025 to transfer my device for it to be unlocked. July 2025 comes I call to unlock device and now Im being told September and they have took it upon themselves to restart the 12 months for when I had to file a claim through a 3rd part insurance pay more then what I bought the phone for an have it replaced by *****. In what world does a company get to restart a contract based off me filing an insurance claim with a third party and having my device replaced that I paid for. You dont get to create a new contract based off that it had nothing to do with boost. You cant talk to anyone who can do anything not to mention I was told multiple times on a recorded call in April I could transfer my device at the end of June. Boost will not let you leave and take a device you paid for its a *****. The service is terrible and if they DONT fix this and unlock my device so I can move service I will seek legal remedies. Ive spend way to much money on a phone bill with them every month for service I can never use because I have none. Anytime I go to make a call it either is call failed or it calls boost.imagine that.Customer Answer

Dear Ms. **************** July 29, 2025, we received your complaint, dated July 29, 2025, filed with the Better Business Bureau.
You said you purchased your iPhone over a year ago, and you were not told it would be locked for a year. In April 2025, you tried to transfer your device and number to another provider, but you were told you had to wait until June 2025. When you contacted us then, you were told you had to wait until September 2025 due to an insurance claim, the 12-month time frame was restarted.
Boost Mobile will unlock a device under the following circumstances:
?The device has not been reported as lost/stolen or otherwise flagged as ineligible for unlocking
?The device has been active on the associated account for at least 12 months
When we spoke on August 15, 2025, I informed you that your unlock request has been granted; please allow 72 hours for this to process, and ensure your phone is powered on and the Boost Mobile *** card inserted.
*** Unlock refers to enabling the *** slot of a device to allow insertion of another carriers *** card. Unlocking a device will not necessarily make a device interoperable with another carriers network. In other words, a device designed for one network is not made technologically compatible with anothers network merely by unlocking it.Additionally, unlocking a device may enable some functionality of the device,but not all (e.g., an unlocked device may support voice services but not data services when activated on a different network).

You said there is a debit card on your account that does not belong to you. You asked for it to be removed; however, it cannot unless you provided a replacement. You want it removed and an explanation why you need to provide a different card.
Currently, there are no credit/debit cards linked to your account. The reason you were told you needed to have another card on file is because you are on the Unlimited $25.00 per month Forever plan. To maintain the $25.00 monthly rate, you must have autopay active on the account;otherwise, your rate is $30.00 plus tax and surcharges.

Ive been a Boost Mobile customer for 3 years, but recent service has been unacceptable. On June 25, I called to port my number to Spectrum due to a cheaper rate. Boost tried to match the rate for 3 months, but I declined. I was then told my phone was locked due to being purchased on ******** though I paid in full. This lock-in policy was never disclosed.I attempted the port, but Spectrum couldnt complete it due to the phone being locked. Boost refused to unlock it, saying I had 4 months left on a 1-year lock from my October 2024 purchase. I asked to resume Boost service since I had 15 days left, but they claimed my account was reset and forced me to pay $15.31 to reactivate. I then got locked out of my account for almost a month and couldnt manage or dispute my bill.On July 26, I verified my identity in-store and got service restored. Id paid for a full month (July 3), but only got 15 days. I also lost a $25/month promo because I turned off auto-pay while locked out. Im requesting a refund or credit for lost service and reinstatement of the promo rate.Business Response

You stated that you purchased a phone and signed up for service. You then changed your mind and attempted to port your phone number to a different carrier. However, you learned that your phone does not meet our unlock policy requirements. During the process, you also incurred unexpected charges due to an inability to pass verification over the phone or in person, causing you to experience some days of interrupted *********** requested another port-out pin and credits be applied to your account.
The unlock policy (available on our website) states that your device must be active with Boost Mobile for 12 months before we can unlock it. We offer devices at a highly discounted rate, which is why we require customers to have their device active with us for 12 months before we are willing to unlock it. Your device would be eligible for unlocking on October 15, 2025; nonetheless, it has been unlocked in our system as a customer service exception.

I initiated a contract with Boost Mobile for cellular service. I used an Apple Trade-In program to receive a discounted rate with BOOST, which required me to trade-in my existing IPhone and receive an new IPhone from *****. In this promotional offer, BOOST mobile would finance the new Iphone and I would use their cellular service. However, when I received the new phone and attempted to hook it up to my existing phone number though BOOST Mobile, BOOST was not able to hook the phone up to my existing phone number. I tried several times to facilitate this through BOOST, but they could not hook it up. Therefore, I returned the new phone to *****, received a confirmation of the return (Apple Return Confirmation number is HAG3324363, phone number ************), and cancelled the service through BOOST. However, even though I called and talked to BOOST mobile several times, and talked to several managers, they have not stopped the monthly service fee coming out of my checking account (which is $33.31 a month). I have also talked to ***** several times, and ***** says they have put several notes on the account, showing that I returned the phone to *****. The service on my phone was never established with BOOST and the phone was returned to *****, but BOOST says they can't stop the reoccurring monthly withdrawal from my checking account form $33.31. This has gone on since June 13th or thereabout. I am at a loss of what to do and am infuriated with BOOST mobile's ineptness. Thanks for your help in this matter!Business Response
