This company is false advertising! They are advertising deals for new customers but they I am a new customer and it doesn't apply to me. The ads says discounts for new customers but when I called an did the customer service chat it say that it was only for online customers only but the ad doesnt say that it just say new customers but telling me I don't qualify and it doesn't make any senseBusiness Response

Dear Ms. ***************** November 19, 2024, we received your complaint, dated November 18, 2024, filed with the Better Business Bureau.
You stated that you received advertisements for new customers that you are not eligible for as an existing customer. You provided examples of several offers you have received. You requested to receive a billing adjustment.
To take advantage of an offer received by email, text or on a social media site, you would need to follow the details of the offer to redeem it. Our records indicate that you signed up on October 24, 2024, under an offer at a Boost Mobile retail store.
A billing adjustment is not warranted in this case.

I called to get a Boost mobile account on Oct 23, 2024. I was told I would receive a *** card within 2-3 days. They charged me $13.72. I called several times asking where the *** card was and they said it should be here in two days. I didnt receive the card until last week. I was without phone service for two weeks. I am an 80 year old woman living alone and no phone service waiting for my sim card. I finally went back to my Spectrum mobile service. The *** card arrived last week. I called today to get a shipping label to return the *** card and I was told by **** that it wasnt necessary to return the card and he transferred me to someone in another department to handle and escalated refund and **** told me that was not possible that they do not refund for that. I never even opened the package with the sim card I want to return it and get my $13.72 back. That may not seem like a lot to them but when you are 80 and live on a small social security check it means eating or not. I want my money back Boost never supplied me with any service just headaches. Please can you help me get my money back thank you order #****-313602-6759Business Response

Dear Ms. ****************** November 19, 2024, we received your complaint,dated November 18, 2024, filed with the Better Business Bureau.
You said you were charged $13.72 for a *** card you did not receive in the timeframe provided. You then returned to your previous service provider and we denied you a refund for it. You requested to receive a refund for the *** card.
In order to be eligible to receive a refund under the 30-day money-back guarantee, you must:
Transfer or port in your number from another carrier
Create a new Boost Mobile account and activate one or more line(s)
Because you did not activate your line or port in your phone number, you do not qualify for a refund under the 30-day money-back guarantee. Nevertheless, I made an exception and requested for a refund of $13.72 to be issued. Please allow 3-5 business days for processing.

I ordered phone on October 31. On the first I received a phone call, the way the person presented themselves it sounded like spam. They told me my order was canceled. I called back and spoke with someone who told me my order was processed and that my order would be shipped on the 8th. On 11/9 I still did not receive confirmation that my order was shipped so I called and was told the phones I ordered were being restocked. On the 15 I called again and was told that on the 11/3 my order was canceled. I questioned why if it was canceled was I not notified and why was my money more refunded.

This business had me come in for a mandatory network update which rendered my phone useless. I had ti switch cell phone providers and this has continued to cause me issues even a month after leaving boost mobile for ***** Boost would not provide me a new phone since their mandatory network update broke my phone. They have caused me to lose my previous phone number I've had for 10 years which was attached to my career so I had to update all colleagues and families that I work with. I was left by boost with an inoperable phone and they would do nothing to rectify the situation. I was also charged by boost mobile for a month of service that I did not have service for and they wouldn't refund my money. My bank has issued me a provisional credit of $50.00 but it is not officially waved yet. This all happened around 0ctober 24, 2024.Business Response

Therefore, on or about October 5, 2024, you visited the store and the update was performed, but it rendered your phone inoperable.

Dear **************************** 22, 2025, we received your rebuttal, dated January 22, 2025, filed with the Better Business Bureau.
You rejected our response stating that Boost Mobile has done nothing to repair the damages, or the time and money you have paid since this occurred.
You have filed complaints with the Attorney General and previously with the Better Business Bureau regarding this matter.
In the previously referenced complaints, you said that you were hounded by a local retail store to upgrade your phone or perform a network update and, on or around October 5, 2024, you agreed to perform the update, which rendered your phone inoperable. This caused you to switch to AT&T and purchase a new phone and you now demand compensation for the loss.
As you were informed in our last conversation,on December 3, 2024, retail stores are independently owned and operated, have no other affiliation with Boost Mobile, L.L.C., and we have no control over their policies, procedures or marketing practices, which you said you understood. Therefore, you will need to contact the store in question for further assistance.

I switched from boost mobile to boost infinite a few months ago they had a promotion for better phones. I have had problems with everything so far with them from not being able to use our old numbers to them trying to take money for the **** *** before it is even due they try to take money from the 1st of every month everyday until they get it and I don't understand how I always have paid my bill on time unless I was sick and couldn't make it out that day. Every single month it is something with this company and it is a shame I don't even get to use the phone for 30 days and they are trying to take their money. That is no way to run a business at all. Some people can't pay until the day before or day off not all of us have money flowing out of our pockets. I am beyond mad about the way this company does business. Every month they shut my phones off on different days when I check regularly to see how many days we have left.Business Response

I am rejecting this response because: this is absolutely ridiculous my phone is paid every month on or before the 24th when it says it is due but you regularly try to take it off my card everyday starting on the 2nd of the month then you proceed to turn off my phones days before the actual bill is due so I lose monthly on days that I pay for and that is not fair at all then you charge me a late fee. I am currently looking into changing providers and I have had boost for over 15 years which is an absolute shame I liked this service and never had any issues until you merged with boost infinite now every month my phone is off before it is due and I lose out on days and money monthly and for as much as I pay that is absolutely terrible on your part.

Good morning, I contacted boost customer service multiple times yesterday through chat and by calling. My line is suspended and I was told all I had to do I pay 25$ and my phone would be put back in service, I did this and called to talk to a supervisor named ********* GE3 and he advised my that all the parties I had talked to lied about my bill, then he informed me that I'm stuck on a yearly plan when I never agreed to that, I actually let my year commitment from last year expire so I can return to month to month but I was told that I cannot switch even though I never agreed to another year, and my belief and understanding was that boost doesn't lock you in because there is no contracts. He then told me that my payment won't be refunded, he refused to refer me to anyone else, was very rude and arrogant, and basically mocked me towards the end of the call. I have been with boost for 6 years and have been loyal and this is how I get treated? I want to go back to month to month, for my payment to reactivate my line, or I will cancel my service and I will make sure anyone who can hear me knows how bad boost treats customers, I have copies of all the chats for proof and I even recorded my phone call with the supervisor.

On November 2, 2024 I ordered two phones from Boost Mobile. They charged my bank account $168 gave me an order number and a tracking number. Sent me a link to set up an account through the app when trying to set up the account I can never log on. It gave me a link to get help which I have. Did it then sent me to an email showing they had canceled my order and would be sending me a refund within 72 hours. Its now been almost 3 weeks. I still do not have my $168. Ive called Boost Mobile over ********************************************************************************* to about four different departments then finally to what I assume is their financial department only to have a customer service agent. Tell me the money would be released in the next 24 hours. This is nothing but lies. The money has not been released. The money has not been returned to my account. I was not sent any phones. This is probably the most unprofessional company Ive ever dealt with in my life. Im beginning to think this is nothing but one big scam. These companies are so quick to take your money but want to send you on a wild goose chase just to try and get your money back for some goods and services that they were never intending to provide to begin with. I dont have $168 to lose clearly I went to try to move my service to Boost Mobile because I needed a cheaper option. however Im glad that this didnt work out because I would never want to use such an unprofessional company. Theres not one single competent person in their customer service department. They have no idea what theyre doing, or how to help you. Every time I call them I hang up scratching my head because I cant believe that this is an actual company. Im not sure that it even is dont waste your time and dont waste your money because you wont get anywhere. Theyll steal your money and they wont provide you with any kind of serviceBusiness Response

Ive been trying to add a secondary line on Boost Infinite for quite some time now, but Ive encountered numerous issues and frustrating experiences. Ive called multiple times, chatted with representatives, and attempted to place multiple orders, but Ive consistently faced problems.Initially, I placed the order as BYOD, but I was unable to cancel the line because it wasnt activated. I was transferred to various departments and even advised to open a new account. However, I already have an account, so I didnt understand the need to create another one.I tried to activate the line on a device to place a new order and finance it, but I encountered the same errors. The representatives told me that the issue couldnt be resolved over the phone, and they couldnt figure it out either.This situation is completely unacceptable, and I need someone to call me at ************ to resolve this issue.

Dear Mr. ***************** November 18, 2024, we received your complaint,dated November 18, 2024, filed with the Better Business Bureau.
You stated that your attempts to add a second line to your account were unsuccessful. You initially added a second line with your own device, but you were unable to cancel it. You indicated that you have made numerous calls into customer care in an attempt to resolve this issue. You requested to be contacted.
When we spoke by phone on November 18, 2024, I advised you that I canceled the second line (ending in 7917) as requested. Although you attempted to submit a new order for the second line with device financing, it was unsuccessful. I told you that I would look into this further and follow up with you later. I contacted you via email on November 19 and 21, 2024, and advised you that we are still looking into the issue. We were eventually able to determine that the order for the second line was not being processed because of the multiple attempts made previously.
In your email, dated November 25, 2024, you said that you opted to cancel your service and you requested to return your phone within the 30-day window. Our records confirm that your service was canceled automatically on November 25, 2024, when your phone number was ported out. A return request was submitted by customer care, and a credit was applied to your account on November 27, 2024, to offset the service charges for the first month.
Once the device is received and inspected, a full refund will be provided.
We strive to provide excellent customer service and we regret that your experience was unfavorable.
Sincerely,
*** *****

I ordered a cell phone over a week ago online but it hasn't been processed nor will they offer a refund. I have called multiple times and keep get the run around. They can't explain what happened. They say it should take 3 to 5 days for tracking but as of today it's been about 10 days. If I knew this I would've went with another carrierBusiness Response
