      Hello, I ordered a ******* galaxy S22 Ultra from boost mobile on December 1st & the order was canceled BY BOOST MOBILE NOT ME on December 2nd! They would not provide me with a reason as to why they canceled my order when I called the first time then the 2nd time some *** told me it was because it's a "high crime rate area where I live" so, I left at that & asked for my refund, they said to wait 72 hours so I waited 4 days instead of 3 days & never received anything. I call them back they then blame my bank which it is NOT my bank I never have had any issues in the 7 years I have had my bank. I call boost mobile again they then tell me they don't know why BOOST MOBILE NEVER INITIATED MY REFUND & that they will have to "investigate" the situation & open a "ticket ********** should have my refund back by December 18th I STILL haven't gotten my refund & at this point I am looking into suing. The total of the order was 101.40$ the last 4 of the card used is 4067.

      I purchased a phone at a lesser price of $39.99 based on the agreement that I purchase a $50 a month non-contract service or better. I fulfilled that obligation with my first month when I purchased the phone and the$50 service. I called after the first month and before I was billed for the second month to have it downgraded to the $25 a month no contract service and they told me I had to have the $50 no contract service or better for 6 months because that's how I got the lower price on the phone. Nowhere in the terms and conditions or anywhere else on their web page does it say I have to remain on the $50 no contract service for any amount of time All it says that I must continue the service I cannot discontinue service I'm not discontinuing service just downgrading my service. Besides that being on a $50 no contract service means no contract they can't hold me to anything for any period of time and they're trying to hold me to a 6 month contract for a no contract service. So I wish to be able to be downgraded to the $25 a month no contract service over the $50 a month no contract service.

      Dear Mr. **************** December 20, 2024, we received your complaint,dated December 20, 2024, filed with the Better Business Bureau.

      You said that you purchased a phone at a discounted price of $39.99 and the $50.00 per month plan with no contract. However, after paying for the first month of service, you called in to switch to the $25.00 per month plan, but you were told you must keep the $50.00 plan for a minimum of six months before being allowed to change to a lower-priced plan.

      The phone you purchased, Moto G Stylus 5G, has a Manufacturers Suggested Retail Price (MSRP) of $269.99, which is why we require you to maintain a $50.00 or higher monthly plan for a period of 12 consecutive and uninterrupted months for the phone to be unlocked for use with another carrier. Please understand that you are not under any contract. You can cancel your service at any time without penalty; however, should you decide to do so, you will be required to pay the difference between the $39.99 already paid and the previously-referenced MSRP before the phone will be unlocked.

      Sincerely,

      I am filing this complaint against Boost Mobile regarding a lost device and billing issue. My niece, ****** ******, whose name is on the account, and I share the phone line. I returned my iPhone 15 Pro to Boost Mobile and have proof of delivery, along with acknowledgment from Boost that the device was received. However, I was later informed that the phone was not received and was rejected. Upon further investigation, I discovered that the phone was recorded as a titanium iPhone 15, while I had returned a black iPhone 15 Pro. This discrepancy leads me to believe that the device was lost on ********************* end.I have contacted Boost Mobile multiple times and have an open case number (*******) for reference. A resolution manager assured me the issue was being escalated and there was nothing to worry about. Despite this, the $890 charge for the phone was added to my bill, and I am now at risk of having my service suspended if the amount is not paid.This phone is vital to my livelihood, as it is the device I rely on for work. Losing service would severely impact my ability to make a living. Given the circumstances and the significant stress this is causing, I am requesting the following from Boost Mobile:1.Acknowledgment that the device was lost on Boost Mobiles end.2.Removal of the $890 charge from my bill.3.Assurance that my service will not be suspended due to this billing issue.I appreciate your assistance in resolving this matter and look forward to a prompt resolution.Sincerely,****** L. ****** ***

      Dear Mr. ***************** December 20, 2024, we received your complaint, dated December 17, 2024, filed with the Better Business Bureau.

      You said that you returned an iPhone 15 Pro and you have proof it was delivered, but you have been told the device has not been received and the order was rejected. You indicated that a discrepancy was made when entering in the devices details, and you expressed concern regarding being charged for the device.

      A review of your account reveals that you were charged for the devices in full, as your trade-in device did not meet our requirements. Both of the trade-in devices were received with what's considered ****** Damage" (cracked glass with missing pieces and frame damage) and this information was emailed to you; therefore, we consider the charges valid.

      Dear ****************************** 2, 2025, we received your complaint, dated December 19, 2024, filed with the Better Business Bureau.

      You said you contacted us about returning a defective iPhone 16, as part of the 30-day money-back guarantee. You spoke with managers, including one named ****, who confirmed you were approved for four lines and financing. However, you were misled about the financing and the fact that your service is through a third party, Infinite Plan, which is managed by ************ L.L.C. You will be returning the phone and expect a review of your account by corporate, as you experienced unprofessional behavior from the manager and technical issues with your phone afterward. You requested a replacement device or an exchange/refund.

      When we communicated via email on January 13, 2025, your exact request was unclear and I inquired about what sort of resolution you were looking to receive. I have not yet received a reply. Please feel free to contact me at ************** or via email to continue to work toward a resolution.

      I purchased a second line for my boost infinite line and no one with boost can tell me why the second line is $138 due just for the 2nd line. It was supposed to be $65 a month for the 2nd line plus what's due for the 1st line. No one can tell me either if there's a discount for multiple lines. Also customer service couldn't tell me why I owe $66 immediately. When I logged in to pay on the 1st on the boost app that I only owed $10. I'm really confused with the billing.

      Dear **************************** 8, 2025, we received your complaint, dated December 18, 2024, filed with the Better Business Bureau.

      You said that you added a second line, but you have not received an explanation as to why it is $138.00. You also want to know why you owe $66.00 immediately.

      The $66.00 is the finance charge for the most recently financed phone. The monthly service rate for each line is $66.13. However, the account was last paid to a $0.00 balance on December 1, 2024, which is why the amount due is so high and the service is suspended.

      Please note that if the account is not brought current and the service reinstated, you will be charged the remaining balance on each phone.

      I ordered a *** card with new number, two phones with new numbers. None were successfully delivered to me. They are trying to charge me for the *** card line that I never received. The whole account should have been erased when they received their box back. I was going to reorder service but it is clear this is a fraudulent company. You cannot keep a line going without giving a *** card to the customer and you cannot charge them for a month of service you did not provide. Not one agent can help with this, they cannot make anything correct? I am very thankful *** screwed up and sent everything back. I will not pay a company for a contract you voided.

      Dear ***************************** 8, 2025, we received your complaint, dated December 18, 2024, filed with the Better Business Bureau.

      You stated that you did not receive the devices you ordered and you never activated the account, but you were charged for the service. You requested that your account be closed.

      Our records show that you made the initial payment for the first month of service when placing the order. *** attempted to deliver the package three times, but they were unsuccessful and returned it to sender. Your initial payment has been refunded, and your account was never activated.

      Sincerely,

      I would love to re-open the complaint. I never received any products to have phone service and boost is trying to charge me for service I never obtained. Nothing was ever in my possession to be charged. It should be illegal to charge before possession. I never received a SIM card. 

      Thank you

      Dear Ms. ***************** March 13, 2025, we received your rebuttal, dated March *******, filed with the Better Business Bureau.

      You maintain that you are being charged for the service, but you never activated an account. You continue to request assistance.

      A review of the account shows an outstanding balance of $26.57. As a courtesy, I applied a credit of $26.57 to clear this, and there is no longer a balance due.

      We apologize for any inconvenience you may have experienced.

      Ive been with Boost Mobile since 2009 and never had this type of service. I now have had to choose a plan that stated unlimited talk text and data only for me to have to pay for more data because its not unlimited. They advertise unlimited, text, talk and data, so there is no reason for me to have to pay for more data. The person that I spoke to customer service was very rude and pretty much told me that they didnt care about me contacting the Better Business Bureau for false advertising. His name was ***** and he was a supervisor. He tried to offer me 2 GB of data which I declined if they are advertising unlimited talk text and data then that is what I should be getting especially if Im paying $72 a month for service.

      Good day to whom it may concern. There are 3 issues with this complaint. For one, it is filed against the franchise location by a customer who made an online purchase. I can identify this by the infinite access plan image the customer uploaded that is only offerred online currently. Two, there are terms and conditions that specify our data throttling policies based on the corresponding plans. Please reach out to Boost Mobile corporate for any concerns. *******************************************************************************************. This is their mailing address.

      Dear Ms. ****************** December 20, 2024, we received your complaint, dated December 18, 2024, filed with the Better Business Bureau.

      You stated that you experienced changes in performance when using applications that require data usage.

      Our ***************** and Product-Specific Terms disclose that to preclude the possibility that unlimited data plan customers who use high volumes of data may occupy an unreasonable share of network resources,Boost Mobile employs network prioritization on the Boost Mobile network. When customers on unlimited data plans use more than 35 GB of data during a single billing cycle, Boost Mobile reserves the right to de-prioritize or reduce the speed available to 2G speeds for the remainder of that billing cycle. Customers who subscribe to unlimited data plans may also notice changes in the performance of data-intensive applications such as streaming video or online gaming when subject to de-prioritization or the reduction in speeds.

      We regret any inconvenience you may have experienced.

      If there are further questions or concerns about this issue,please feel free to contact me at **************.

      Dear Ms. ******************* December 18, 2024, we received your complaint, dated December 18, 2024, filed with the Better Business Bureau.

      You said you broke your iPhone last week and wanted to get a new one, but you could not afford to pay for one upfront.Our representative helped you arrange financing for a new iPhone with just the taxes due. When you called back to pay, a different representative asked for your information again, then told you you were approved, only to later put you on hold and say you were not. You find this process confusing and frustrating,especially since you cannot complete it online due to a broken screen. You were also told you would receive a letter, which you find unacceptable.

      Boost Mobile used information from your application, and in conjunction with a consumer credit reporting agency, to determine that you are not currently eligible for our services, which includes wireless services and/or the ability to finance your mobile device(s). The credit score used is a generic telecommunications score that predicts the likelihood a consumer is going to pay their bill. It is based on your credit report at the time of your application, which is subject to change.
