      Was trying to switch to a phone provider more affordable, and found Boost Infinite. I checked my phone on their website, which said it was compatible. When I received my sim card, I called them to activate it, and verified with the support lady once again that my phone was compatible. After repeated attempts to activate my phone, the woman ended up telling me my phone wasn't actually compatible, and that was that. I thought that was the end of it too, considering I never actually activated my service. Over the course of four months, they took over $100 from my bank account, and I received no service. I called them to request a refund and cancel my account, and a request was put in. A week later with no refund, I called back demanding a refund, finding out they hadn't even cancelled my account. The lady told me "there was only a 30-day money back guarantee" even after explaining the money was essentially stolen from me. She claimed to re-open the request with added details this time. It's been about two weeks, and they still haven't returned the money they stole from my account, even the charge within the "guaranteed" window. I didn't even notice the charges until the most recent one. I don't have an account number because I never even got that far in setting up my service, yet they still charged me. They are able to pull up my account using my email, which is ******************** This constitutes theft in my book, because they charged me money and did not provide any service they promised whatsoever. I would like a *full* refund, as I've been more than patient with them refusing to return my money.

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

      On November 13, 2023, we received your complaint, dated November 11, 2023, filed with the Better Business Bureau.

      You stated that during the time your Boost Infinite account was active, you were unable to use the service since your device was not compatible. You requested a refund for all payments made, totaling $77.90.

      My attempts to reach you at ************** were unsuccessful.

      As an exception, I issued a refund of $77.90. Please allow 3-5 business days for processing.

      i have tryed multi-times to upgrade my phone line ending in ****. Boost is not honoring any of the upgrade prices on my acct on its website. I called several times spoke with **************** Some told me to wait 72hrs other told me to goto a boost store and pay full price. Others said email ********************** I sent email since Nov 4 no response. I feel this is false advertising. The phone I want to purchase is the Galaxy A23 5G reg price $299.99 upgrade price $19.99. but ANY phone I choose the site is not honoring any of the upgrade prices I just keep getting the same error message at checkout. (attached screenshot of error message) I've tried refreshing, different ****** ***** browsers nothing works. I last called boost to 11/11/23 @ 5:36pm and was disconnected..no return call made to me. but I have been paying for this phone line for months now with no phone so boost has just been receiving my money & no useage has been made on the acct because I cannot buy a boost phone. I would like someone to fix this issue as now I will need 2 upgrades and no one is fixing the purchase problem on the website or stating that if I goto a boost store and pay full price I will be reimburst the balance of my Upgrade price. or have someone contact a store to let them know to adjust the price to mirror the prices on my acct. basically no one is trying to assistant. they just want me to goto the boost store and let boost keep false advertising.

      Boost mobile made false accusations about me calling restricted numbers/chat lines which i had no knowledge of until 10/18/2023 and a boost rep told me to call boost care asap, when i called to report this information thw boost care said there were no reports of any restricted calls or chat lines or violations and told me keep a eye out on any strange emails or text. So i took the advice from the boost care rep and didnt recieve any more text until Nov. 8,2023 the email Stated i was warned on oct. 18th about the restricted calls. Chat lines and violations and it said my phone line would be suspended if it continues. After 30 minutes of reciebing this text my phone was suspended and the 15 reps i spoke with about it told me 15 different scenarios of why it was off. The account was paid on ******* so i was not due but later that night(nov. 9,2023) it sent me another text stating to make a payment to resume services, then on the evening of nov. 9,2023 I recieved a email from their account resolution stating i can port my number over to another carrier. I have two linea with boost and the 2nd line was never disconnected which is my daughters line, i just find this so wrong especially with us being customers over 5 years, i believe my acxount was hacked somehow because i have never experienced this kind of foolishness from a cell company, their local stores dont have a dam clue to anything, thwy just say call boost care!! What a joke i also want my credit card removed off of their payment method site. I also have this info on my text messages.i dont think i can forward it. We have done nothing wrong we are not criminals we are law abiding citizens

      To whom this may concern: We have moved on from this ridiculous accusations against us, this supposedly chatline we we were accused of using is a church phone conference line that has been used for over several years these numbers are used in many capacities and are not violations against a paying customer, so ****** you can say what you want but I was told on Oct 18,2023 by your foreign agents we had done nothing wrong so play your customer service calls back to hear nonsense we were told at that time up until nov.8th when you turned the phone off. None of these agents could tell us the same reason as to why this happened so we have new service so don't send no more messages because you are a ***** and should not have responded because I have spoken with your upper management about this matter we don't care about BOOST MOBILE ANYMORE !! YOU Might WANT TO JOIN THE CONFERENCE LINE TO GET SOME ***** IN YOU CAUSE YA ARE LIARS AND CROOKS!! BE GONE AND DO SOME WORK TO SEE HOW THESE PHONE CONFERENCE LINES ARE USED THEY ARE NOT VIOLATING ANY POLICIES THIS IS CHURCH BUSINESS!!!!! WE ARE CURRENTLY USING IT WITH OUR NEW SERVICE WITH NO VIOLATIONS SO WHATEVER LIAR

      I had purchased a boost mobile phone off ******** marketplace. Before I purchased it, I went onto boost mobile website to confirm that it was compatible since it was a boost mobile phone. Their website confirm that it was compatible. I bought a $40 top up card and a $10 Sim card from ******* that is non-returnable. When I proceeded to activate the phone I encountered technical difficulties so I requested customer service support. **************** says they were unable to activate the phone and that I should return it which is impossible. I never got a refund for my $40 top up card on my $10 Sim card like I had requested. They said they were going to open a dispute and they closed it immediately. I want my money back. I paid for a service that I did not receive.

      On 11/9/2023 I called and spoke with store clerk. She stated her name was ********. I was given a false advertising discount and was told to come in to store. I spent 30$ to Uber to business location.. I entered the store, amongst me entering the business ******** was at front desk... I was given a totally different price range, she claims that they no longer have the device that I just spoke with her about, and proceeded to try to get me to buy a device at a higher rate then normal. She is overpricing the franchise products, showing favoritism to different ethnicities and misleading costumers by soliciting them to arrive for a product they doesn't have... I consider this very unprofessional. I feel I was being subjected to decriminalization and cruel and unusual punishment do to the fact that another costumer with my same qualifications is being rendered service for a cheaper price based on ethnicity and the fact that I have a brain interface gaming system installed in my body, she knowingly and willingly involved herself into our game under advised unprofessionalism not knowing that it would be reported to the BBB. I ask that the phone system be investigated under the fact that my company called and told her not to sell me the phone

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

      On November 15, 2023, we received your complaint, dated November 10, 2023, filed with the Better Business Bureau.

      You stated that on November 9, 2023, you spoke to a Boost Mobile store agent over the phone and you were told about a discounted price for services. When you were able to visit their retail location, you were informed of a different price and discount. You requested the phone system be investigated and to be issued a store credit.

      Boost Mobile stores are independently owned and operated; as such, they maintain their own phone inventory and set their own return and exchange policies, as well as discounts and offers. Please visit the store in question for further assistance.

      We strive to provide excellent customer service and we regret that your experience was unfavorable. We appreciate your feedback and your concerns will be shared internally with the appropriate personnel.

      Sincerely,

      I am being charged an extra $15 a month for an add-on I had canceled more than five months ago. Im not sure how long they had been charging me before I noticed, and I first messaged Boost Mobile about it on August 9th, 2023. They claimed to had taken it off my account, but I had to message them again on September 11th, 2023 because I was still being charged. This time, they claimed to cancel it, plus they gave me a $15 credit on my account. But as of checking yesterday (November 8th, 2023), I am once again still being charged for the add-on.

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

      On November 10, 2023, we received your complaint, dated November 10, 2023, filed with the Better Business Bureau.

      You stated that in September 2023, you requested a $15.00 add-on package to be removed from your account, but it never was and you continued to be charged the monthly fee. You requested these charges be refunded.

      My attempts to reach you at **************, were unsuccessful.

      As an exception, I issued a $30.00 refund for the two months you were charged for this add-on package. Please allow 3-5 business days for processing.

      Transferred my number to Boostmobile. They cannot activate the service for over 10 days. After multiple attempts to activate the service, I decided to give up and asked for the account number and pin to transfer my number out. However, they insisted on calling me on the number they could not activate, otherwise, I have to go to their store which is very far away from me.Their flawed system caused me to not have phone service for 10 days (and continues), yet they are unwilling to accommodate providing the necessary information so I can transfer my number out.

      My son has a moto g 5g 64gb 2023 phone purchased in September 2023. His account is under my fiance name (*********************) phone number is **********. The charging port broke. I pay the insurance for the phone. I called to get a replacement and they did not have a replacement so sent me a coupon code. I never received the code however the did give it to me where I wrote it down. The price of the coupon was ******! I had to pay a ***** deductible which is fine. But a new moto g 5g 2023 64gb phone is 250 bucks. Therefore I have to pay another 120 bucks on top of the 117 coupon and 99 deductible paid. I could just go get a new phone for what I am paying or could just have them fix the port. All I want is the amount to get a replacement phone for my son. This doesn't make sense to me.

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

      On November 10, 2023, we received your complaint, dated November 9, 2023, filed with the Better Business Bureau.

      You expressed concern with the $117.00 coupon you were provided to replace your sons phone. You stated that the coupon was provided in lieu of a replacement phone, but the cost of a new phone is $250.00. You also indicated that you paid a $99.00 deductible.

      The optional phone protection offered by Boost Mobile is through Likewize. Once a claim is filed, customers are required to pay a non-refundable deductible based on the device type if the claim is approved. Customers are eligible for two approved claims within a 12-month period beginning on the date of the first replacement. Other exclusions and conditions may apply. For concerns regarding claims, please visit www.myphoneguardian.com or call ***************.
