      Dear ******************:

      On August 21, 2024, we received your complaint, dated August 20, 2024, filed with the Better Business Bureau.

      You stated to have purchased your device in 2021 and said we refuse to unlock your device.

      When we spoke, I requested proof of purchase in order to unlock your device, but you refused and were not receptive.

      The unlock policy, which is also available online, states that your device must be active with Boost Mobile for 12 consecutive months before we can unlock it.Because your device has not been active with Boost Mobile for at least 12 months, we cannot 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.

      Sincerely,

      On August 21, 2024, we received your complaint, dated August 20, 2024, filed with the Better Business Bureau.

      You stated that you are a victim of identity theft, customer care was rude and unhelpful. You requested a refund of your two payments of $26.63, for your card and name to be removed from the account.

      Our records show the *** card ordered was delivered to your address, which is the same address as the one on the account. The calls were reviewed and the customer service agents that attempted to assist you remained courteous and respectful throughout the call.

      A review of the account reveals there was only one payment of $26.63. Please note, Boost Mobile does not require personal identifying information, such as Social Security Numbers. We recommend that you dispute the charge with your bank, as we are unable to issue a refund.

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

      I returned a new device I received because it was not working. I have the receipt of the return and Boost confirmed via chat as well as over the phone that it was received and included a photo of the receipt. I also kept track of it via text by ***** so I know when they got it back which was July 8th, 2024. They also assured me that my account was canceled and my autopay was off and there would no longer be any attempts. She lied. Everyday, I get a notification from my bank with them trying to attempt to get money from my account for the device that was returned long before the deadline. *** tried contacting Boost today but told me that a supervisor was not available when I had requested one and told me that the supervisor couldnt email me. I know its not true, because I was emailed to before when I had problems with my account prior.

      I downgraded my phone plan in June to the Unlimited+ plan for $50.00 per month. I received a message that the downgrade was successful and the $50 plan would start on September 6, when my payment was due.Today I looked and I received a NEW message saying my downgrade would take effect on October 8. I would have to pay $60 on September 6. Boost customer service representative could not help me at all. She stated she could not escalate my request since it did not fit the category. She talked in circles around my issue. Please help me rectify this issue. I want my plan downgraded as originally planned and stated by Boost Mobile on September 6.Thank you.

      You stated that you downgraded from your current plan for $60.00 per month to $50.00 with the effective date being September 6, 2024;however, you later received a text message saying the change will not go into effect until October 6, 2024. You requested the plan change take effect on September 6, 2024.

      I attempted to call you today at **************; however, I was unable to reach you and had to leave a message.

      I apologize for any confusion regarding the plan change, as I confirmed the new plan is set to start on September 6, 2024. For the confusion, I applied a one-time $20.00 credit to your account.

It was never there before, and I know this for a fact because I paid thru the App. I was charged 50 dollars but this month it was 88 dollars and I am told i cant remove the line i Lost which cause my phone to be totally suspended I was told that I would receive a 44 credit and 10 off for the next 6 month that was never APPLIED. I am being told about a ported line from Metro that should have been a problem from the start I have been with Boost 8 months and now I am hearing about a ported 3rd line that should not even be on this account and I have been paying for this FOR 8 MONTHS

      Dear ****************:

      On August 21, 2024, we received your complaint, dated August 20, 2024, filed with the Better Business Bureau.

      You stated that you ported a line over from Metro PCS,but it is still appearing on your account. You indicated that the second line should not have been ported over, and just appeared on the account six months later. You also mentioned that you made a $50.00 payment last month and you are now being required to pay $88.00. In addition, you were promised a $44.00 credit plus a $10.00 deferred credit for six months that you never received.Furthermore, you now have a third line on the account you did not authorize.You requested a refund.

      Our records show your account was established on November ******, with two lines activated for the phone numbers ending in 3985 and 3074.On February 26, 2024, you set the line ending in 3985 to disconnect on February 29, 2024, and this was completed, leaving you with only the one line ending in 3074. On April 3, 2024, another line was added and the number ending in 2844 was ported in (please note that we would not be able to do this without you providing your previous carriers account number and porting PIN). On July ******, we received a request to cancel the line ending in 2844. The next day we received a request to restore the line ending in 2844 and to cancel the line ending in 3074 instead; however, you disconnected the call prior to the completion of this process and therefore, the line ending in 3074 remained active.

      A review of your account reflects that on May 5, 2024, you made a payment of $72.78, and on June 4, 2024, a payment of $88.00. On July ******, you made a $50.00 payment, as only one line was now active. Please note that the second line (ending in 2844) was still in the process of being restored when this payment was due: a payment of $88.00 was required on August 7, 2024, as both lines were active.

      Currently, there are only two numbers on your account: one ending in 3074 and one ending in 2844. If you want either of these lines disconnected, we recommend contacting customer care and staying on the line until the process is completed.

      We are unable to validate your claim that you were promised a $44.00 credit or a $10.00 credit for six months.

      In the interest of customer service, a credit of $30.00 has been applied to your account. Please note, your account is currently interrupted and the remaining balance of $58.00 would need to be paid prior to it being restored.

      The Boost Mobile Terms and Conditions disclose that payments remitted to Boost Mobile are final and non-refundable; any unused funds remaining on an account at the time service is canceled will be forfeited. We decline your refund request.

      We regret any inconvenience you may have experienced.

      Dear ********************:

      On August 20, 2024, we received your complaint, dated August 19, 2024, filed with the Better Business Bureau.

      You expressed concern that you switched plans and the new one started immediately, even though you were told it would begin with the next billing cycle. As a result, you used up your new plan data before the old plans payment was due. You also said your iPhones iMessage feature has been deactivated, and despite multiple calls to customer care and tech support, the issue remains unresolved.

      My attempts to contact you by phone at ************** on September 5 and 11, 2024, were unsuccessful, but I left a voicemail. Through our email correspondence, you gave me more detail about the data issue. You also expressed dissatisfaction that your iPhone 13 Mini is not compatible with the DISH Wireless 5G Network, and you provided feedback about our overseas agents.

      When swapping data plans, once the new plan is activated, you are then subject to data usage associated with your new plan,and any data associated with your old plan is forfeited. Regarding your iPhone 13 Mini compatibility, as the DISH Wireless 5G Network is improved and refined,we are looking to open up the options our customers may use when it comes to devices. However, due to the new nature of the network, only iPhone 14 and newer devices are currently supported.

      We appreciate your feedback and your concerns will be shared internally with the appropriate personnel.

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

      I have been with boost infinite for some time now and pay my bill on time every month recently they merged with boost mobile why i dont know the service was great until then i was sent an email saying that i would receive a new sim card to use the new service i paid my bill for august and had no issues all of a sudden my phone says no service and no sim since yesterday i have no phone service and have paid my bill already i contacted customer service and they tried troubleshooting and that didnt work so i was told i have to wait 3 to 7 days for a sim card in order to use a phone service i paid for i was given a 6 dollar credit for expecting to be without a phone for days . I have accounts that i cant get into now because i use two factor authentication i have a mother who is very sick that i cant call and check on because i have no phone service now and their idea of help is to tell you to wait up to 7 days for a sim card that they should have made sure i received before they shut my service off i am extremely angry and disappointed by this service and would like something done about this situation

You immediately contacted customer care and a replacement SIM card was shipped to you. You expressed concern that it could take up to seven days to receive it, and you only received a $6.00 credit. 

      A review of your account indicates that on July 29, 2024, a replacement SIM card was shipped out via **** at no charge.The instructions should have stated that it needed to be activated as soon as received. On August 18, 2024, you contacted us to report your service issue, and a new replacement SIM card was shipped out and a $6.00 credit was issued. Our records show that the replacement SIM card was activated on August 21, 2024.

      As an alternative option, and in the future, you may visit a Boost Mobile retail store to obtain a replacement SIM,but you may have to purchase it, since Boost Mobile retail stores are independently owned and operated and set their own policies and procedures regarding products and services.

      On September 12, 2024, I applied a one-time $26.00 courtesy credit to your account to cover one month of service.

      We regret any inconvenience you may have experienced.

      Sincerely,

      Dear ****************:

      On August 19, 2024, we received your complaint, dated August 19, 2024, filed with the Better Business Bureau.

      You said you visited a Boost Mobile retail store to purchase a new device, and you were convinced to purchase a ******** and open a new account with a new phone number. You continue to have issues with the service and your new device.

      When we spoke on September 11, 2024, I informed you that Boost Mobile stores are independently owned and operated; as such, they maintain their own phone inventory and set their own return and exchange policies. Some offers are listed for new customers only and may have been the reason for opening a new account. You said that you are unable to use your new phone number to set up an account with your bank.

      I will work with you to try and resolve some of the ongoing service issues you are experiencing. As a courtesy, I applied a one-time $50.00 courtesy credit to your account.

      We regret any inconvenience you may have experienced and thank you for your business.

      Sincerely,

      Subscribed to Boost mobile, who offered a 30 day money-back guarantee. My new phone was delivered by *** on 07/02/2024. I soon found that I had poor or no service at my home, and continuously dropped calls elsewhere. Before signing up, I was told that my phone would connect to Boost, **** and T-Mobile towers... whichever had best signal. I always had great signal at my home with ****, so these claims were obviously not true. I called on July 30 to cancel my service, and return their phone. I was told that I would receive an email with instructions for returning the phone. No email. Called back a few days later, and was told that the email was re-sent. Still no email (I even double-checked spam folders both times). I called back a week later and was told that the system that generates return authorization emails was down, and that I would need to return my phone to ***********, ** and when I arrived, they would be able to assist me with my return. (That's right... they told me that I needed to travel 950 miles, and deliver the phone in person). I called back a few other times and continued to be given a run-around. Finally, when I called today, I was informed that the phone shipped from them on 06/28... so when I called on 07/30 I was past the 30 day window for cancellation and refund. How is this correct, when the phone was not in my possession until 07/02, and also, my service was activated on 07/06. They are doing everything possible to not let me impose the 30 day money-back guarantee.
