I got a phone through boost mobile back in June 23. It was temporary for about **** days. I tried to cancel the service because we went to ******** I tried to cancel it through phone and on my app. I turned off automatic pay and was still charged on September 9, 2023. I went to the chat on September 11, 2023 and asked why and what to do. He said to contact my bank and I would get the money back. I will be attaching a photo of that here. My bank said no and declined it because my account was still open to contact boost. I did this and have been spending hours on the phone with them. I have no idea who I was transferred to the first 3 times, but then went to account specialist named ****** who was MORE THAN RUDE to me and then he put me through to ******* who is the one that said it would be approved because I had tried everything to cancel it. This phone as they checked was not with boost mobile and the *** card had not been used and I was told not to worry I was in escalation and would be refunded as what I am saying is true. Now today September 28,23 I got an email saying that no refund Because I was out of the time limit of 10 days. The person I am speaking to now **** said I have no positive balance on the account. Well seeing as I got charged on the 9th and I contacted boost on the 11th I would have to say that is within the 10 days! Not to mention I have NOT used the phone I would say there is money on the account. Especially seeing as you pay then get the service. Now here goes again to a man named ***** who wrote another ticket, and now I have to wait again until we get an answer which in his opinion will be no again Because boost doesnt refund to PayPal. At least he is being honest. How on earth can I turn off autopay 3 months ago and call to cancel and have the phone on ******* can I be charged $47.01? Thats wrong all around! So you try to cancel and it is supposed to cancel before next billing period, it did not. For 2 weeks it still not canceled

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

On September 29, 2023, we received your complaint, dated September 28, 2023, filed with the Better Business Bureau.

You said that in June 2023, you set up Boost Mobile service;however, it was only to be temporary. You stated that you tried to cancel your account through the phone and the app. You indicated that you removed automatic payments, but you still received a charge on September 9, 2023. You mentioned that your refund request was denied. You expressed dissatisfaction with the customer service you received, and you requested a refund of $47.01.

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.

As customer care has informed you, you are outside our ten-day money-back guarantee. As you purchased a three-month plan, the account is set to disconnect on December 9, 2023.

Our records do not indicate we received any cancellation requests prior to September 11, 2023, and as such, the charge remains valid.Your account also does not reflect any attempts to remove automatic payments prior to September 11, 2023.

We regret that your experience was unfavorable.

On July 29, 2023 I cancelled my Boost Mobile ****. due to transferring to another cell phone service. I was charged $50 for the upcoming month but did not use the service.

I purchased two Iphones from boost infinite on 9/16 ahead of launch, and received them 9/25 the monday after launch day. The terms were pre-pay for taxes on the device and $60 per line for the first month's service and then be billed ***** per line for 36 months with the option to upgrade at the 12 month **** to a new iphone. This turned out to be too good to be true. Boost Infinite tried on 9/25 to port numbers from ******** initially saying that it would take 15 mins, then up to two hours, then 4 additional hours to port and activate. I then called back on 9/26 and spoke with another rep and a manager who determined that the best option was to return the devices since boost was unable to activate them on either the numbers being ported or new numbers. I verified the 10 day return period before going forward with the purchase and was offered a return label by the manager. When contacting boost today 9/28 boost now says that it will take 72 hours or three business days to create a RMA number and send an email with return instructions and that I am responsible for the return label costs. This feels like a scam and that Boost Infinite sold a service that they cannot provide and offers a return policy that it is not willing to honor. Boost Infinite was created by the *** as a 4th carrier to "increase competition" but is not a competent carrier.

On September 29, 2023, we received your complaint,dated September 28, 2023, filed with the Better Business Bureau.

You stated that you purchased two iPhone 15s from Boost Infinite on September 16, 2023, and received the devices on September 25,2023. You said the terms were to pay for taxes on the devices and pay $60.00 for the first month of service, and then pay $60.00 thereafter for 36 months with the option to upgrade after 12 months to a new iPhone.

Complaint: 20670032

I am rejecting this response because:

Boost declined to cover the cost of shipping for the returns when they were unable to activate the devices. This is an error on Boost's side and is unfair to the consumer to require shipping be paid for an issue Boost caused.
Additionally I found out from ******** that Boost Infinite has ownership of the two numbers ************ and ************ thus I am unable to port these numbers to another carrier who can activate them. I expect boost to work with me and ******** to resolve this issue as both carriers currently claim to not have ownership of the phone numbers. I spoke with a representative on Monday from customer service who was unable to provide any detail on what status the numbers were in with Boost.

On October 18, 2023, we received your rebuttal, dated October 17, 2023, filed with the Better Business Bureau.

You stated that you are rejecting our response, as you had to pay for shipping to return the phones. You also said that you have been informed by ******** that Boost Infinite has ownership of your numbers, and you expect Boost Infinite to work with ******** to resolve the issue.

As stated in our phone return policy, you are responsible for the cost of shipping the phone back to us. Please visit ******************************************************************* for more information on this policy.

Our records indicate that your port-in request was canceled; therefore, Boost Infinite did not receive your numbers from your previous provider. As we never had possession of your phone numbers, you need to contact your original service provider for assistance.

The phone under Boost Mobile is for my daughter's phone. It keeps running out of data on a plan that is supposed to be limited. It has an * but I'm not clear on what that means. I'm not clear on what the limitations are with unlimited data. I switched my daughters plan because she kept running out of data but now it is worst. There is an option to add data but once she runs out of data after I purchased more for $30 additional dollars, she ran out of data again. But Boost Mobile will not allow me to buy additional data again. Online it is saying that I cannot buy more data until 15 days. That was 13 days ago. I called Boost Mobile several times asking if they will remove the restriction, so I can pay for more data. They refused. Now my daughter is unable to use the internet outside of the house because it is really slow. They offered me to switch to another plan but it was only 5GB more for double the price. I asked did they have a plan that would give me additional data where I can purchase additional data without limitations and they didn't help me.

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

On September 28, 2023, we received your complaint, dated September 27, 2023, filed with the Better Business Bureau.

You stated that you keep running out of data for your daughters phone through Boost Mobile. You mention that you switched to an unlimited plan, but you are still running out of data, so you then need to purchase additional data for $30.00. You also mentioned that you received a notice online, saying that you are not able to purchase any additional data for 15 days. You said that after 13 days, you called into Boost Mobile customer service to request to pay for more data, but you were refused. You requested to have this restriction removed and to be switched to another plan that has more data than what you are currently using.

A review of the account shows that your current plan is the $35.00 Unlimited Talk and Text with 10 GB data plan, and not an unlimited plan.When I called and left you a voicemail, I explained that I could move you to our $25.00 Best Unlimited plan, which includes Unlimited Talk, Text, and Data.I advised that as long as you are signed up for autopay, you are eligible for this plan. You may contact me directly at ************** if you would like to move forward.

Complaint: 20666948

Hello, Sorry I missed your call. I am rejecting this response because: I was already on that plan that you are proposing and that is what caused the issue with me not being able to purchase additional data. I found out that this plan doesn't have the hotspot as well which is what you mentioned in my voicemail which also contributed to the limitations of data. Your suggested plan this isn't the best solution. I had to purchase a $60 plan to get the hotspot back and purchase an additional $30 add on worth of additional data in order to receive more data. I would like to request a $20 credit for the inconvenience this has caused me. I had to contact customer service several times and the last time I contacted them was the only time I had some type of solution.

On October 30, 2023, we received your rebuttal, dated October 27, 2023, filed with the Better Business Bureau.

You stated that my previously suggested $25.00 plan was not adequate for your needs, as it does not come with a hotspot option. You need to purchase the $60.00 plan and then add an additional $30.00 worth of data. You requested a $20.00 credit due to the issues you have had choosing a data plan.

We respectfully decline your request for a credit for this issue.

We sincerely regret any inconvenience this process may have caused, and we appreciate your feedback regarding your experience.

I am rejecting this response because boost mobile has caused nothing but inconvenience and they are unwilling to assist. They didn't even look at my account to offer a better solution. He offered the same type of plan that caused me an issue which tells me he didn't look at the history of my account at all and didn't try to resolve the issue. I will be proceeding with filing a formal complaint with the *** *********************************** and I will plan to close my account with ********************. They are horrible and obviously don't want my business because he didn't even take the time to look at the history of my account.

Someone used my debt card information to purchase a boost mobile plan I was charged an unauthorized charge and the bank registry states its on auto pay so I would get reoccurring charges, . I called boost mobile and explain what was taking place, and told the representative I do not have a boost mobile account that it was fraudulent charges. & to please remove my debit card information from the system please do not let my card information go into reoccurring payment option. For an account I do not have. Then explained that I contacted the bank & explained that the Boost mobile charge was fraudulent & please stop the payments and cancel my card. The bank told me the fraud department would do an investigation & before the investigation was complete, my card was charged and that I did not want that to happen again. Well, the representative stated, no refunds I said I just want to stop payments that is my biggest concern at the moment & further action well take place after I put a stop to all of it. I just dont want any more transactions happening & that Ill take further actions after I figure this situation & charges all out and explained the bank had suggested that I needed to wait before asking for a refund to make sure that everyone of them would be filed & refunded in one claim. see if any more charges went through or what was going on again the representative informed me there was no refunds shut me off and said, boost does not do refunds, even on fraudulent charges she then said she cant remove my debt card if I didnt have the phone number, associated to it, and then I asked to speak to her supervisor and was told there wasnt one available.. after spending approximately an hour with her got nowhere at all!! I feel she was terrible customer service, representative and that ********************** needs to put someone in her place that can cease and assist the situations until she learns how to do her job well! The debt card transaction cleared today.

I activated service with boost mobile on my iphone 14 pro *** 256 gb. The esim did not work. I tried numerous times with their technical department to troubleshoot the problem but the service did not work. I asked for the service to be disconnected and removed from my account and they said they would. I went on to another carrier and network issues with the other carrier. I took the device to Apple and they found no hardware issues. However, they did find that Boost was still active on my device even though the Boost esim was removed. They advised me to call Boost back and have it removed. Boost now said that they would do a charge back so that the service can be removed. A week later my device still does not work and the Boost network is still on my device. Another call to Boost and they are saying they will not do a charge back and the service remains. My bank has refunded the money I paid boost for access to their network which didnt work. However, my iphone 14 pro *** currently does not work. It has been almost a month. I work from my phone. So, not only am I out a phone, I am also losing about $500 a day due to no network. I can not connect to another network because of Boosts network being on my phone and they will not remove it. Now, I would like to be compensated for my lost time from work and for the device. I called today and they said they have not and will not remove the service and that I should just wait for the service to end.

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

On September 27, 2023, we received your complaint, dated September 26, 2023, filed with the Better Business Bureau.

You stated that after you activated your Boost Mobile service, you encountered an error with the eSIM. You swapped carriers and you were unable to use your phone, as it is still locked to our network. You also mentioned that you were told initially a chargeback for your payment would be issued, but then informed it would not. You have lost substantial income from not being able to use your phone on a daily basis, and you requested compensation.

A review of your account shows that your phone is unlocked.

Please note 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).

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. No compensation will be provided.

Complaint: 20661653

I am rejecting this response because:
My device is factory unlocked. The prepaid service I purchased from Boost did not work. I tried troubleshooting with their tech team and we tried a number of different things. Service never worked. I tried another service and the problem remained. I went to Apple and they ran a number of diagnostics. They informed me that I needed to contact Boost because their eSim service could not be removed and was attached to my imei. I requested that Boost remove their prepaid service but they refused and told to me to wait for the month to end. Boost would not remove their prepaid service from my device and my device became inoperable. I tried factory restoring but the service remained and device was unusable for a month. I was forced to purchase a second device since I can not just wait a month. The month has now ended and the prepaid service expired. The phone does indeed work and the issue was in fact due to Boost. I will continue to pursue this issue. Their customer support provided no help and their cheap service caused issues to my device. I will follow through to ensure Boost pays.

They say that you can earn a free months bill when you login daily BUT WHAT ISN'T SAID IS HALF THE **** THE *** ISN'T WORKING, WORKING PROPERLY BUT WHAT IS VERY CLEAR IS WHEN YOU SPIN THE ***** YOU ONLY GET EITHER 5 OR 10 POINTS NOTHING MORE ITS COMPLETELY RIGGED AND WHEN YOU LOGIN DAILY IT DOESN'T REGISTER FOR THE ADDED POINTS AT THE END OF THE **** SO YOU HAVE TO START OVER ALL AGAIN AND I HAVE OTHER FRIENDS WHO SAID THE SAME ****************************** KNOWS AS I HAVE GIVEN FEEDBACK SEVERAL ****S. Half the time the app isn't working I'm not receiving my credits for my daily spins and not being credited for logging in each day and it's been a repeated issue and hasn't been fixed or addressed. If you're not going to offer a fair app to earn money off your monthly bills and then take away your daily points for my weekly 75 bonus points for logging in 7 days in a row and or keep the wheel only offering only **** points and never anything higher then please just delete the app because it's clearly a issue for hundreds of customers from not just myself but according to the reviews the your not even taking the time to respond to because it's clearly a problem. But I've addressed this twice with customer service with no response but I requested a manager to call me because according to the customer service department a manager wasn't available????? But a manager never called me back after I left my phone number twice and was promised that I would receive a response from a manager within 72 hours but didn't and then the final time the third time the customer service department hung up on me and was was over it by then because I see this is how they like to treat there customers who pay their bills and that's pretty sad for a phone company.

On September 27, 2023, we received your complaint, dated September 26, 2023, filed with the Better Business Bureau.

You stated that you have been unable to earn points from your Boost Mobile application. You mention that you are only getting five to ten points when spinning the wheel and your daily login does not always register.

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

On October 30, 2023, we received your rebuttal, dated October 27, 2023, filed with the Better Business Bureau.

You stated that your complaint was not addressed in my previous response and that I only requested you to reach out to me directly.

As I have previously stated, the issues with the Boost Mobile application are known issues, and are being researched. Once our application team is able to resolve the issue, a communication will be sent to all affected customers.

There is no credit warranted for this issue.

Boost Mobile acted in poor faith by overcharging me for a device that was advertised as costing $200, the purchase summary stated $200, yet I received a text shortly after that I was charged $650 for the device. I made this purchase on the Boost Mobile Website. I have documentation supporting this allegation. I immediately contacted Boost and they told me to return the device upon receipt, and that I would be issued a refund. Upon receiving the device, I contacted ************************* different times attempting to return the device and never got information on how to return the device. On the 10th phone call, they told me I could not return the device despite my efforts. This happened despite their many promises that I could return the device, get a refund, and have the issue resolved. Upon sending this message, Boost has also charged my card multiple times without consent for services not rendered. This company is acting recklessly with fraud and malice and should be held accountable for its actions. I have suffered great monetary damage and would like assistance in this issue being resolved. If possible, I would like information on the Companys registered agent in ******* as well in order to potentially serve the agent with a lawsuit as well.

On December 4, 2022 I took advantage of an advertised offer and switched my cell phone service to Boost Mobile. The advertisement was for receiving $200 after being a paying costumer for 3 months. I am still a costumer in good standing with never late payment status. It is now ********************************* March *************************** **************, ** that sold me the phone and service and they told me it was too early but to watch my email. In May 2023 they said they can't help but to call costumer service. **************** was not helpful at all. In June 2023 I went to another Boost mobile store in ***********, ** with the same result. This is unacceptable because if you empower the stores to make sales and promises, they should have the power to service the promises. Here Are the details of the transaction:Sale receipt: ****** Date: 12/04/2022 Cashier: ****************** to: ************************* I will consider filing a complaint with the ******** Attorney General an possibly with the ** ********** of ********* Yes, it is only $200 but the difficulty to resolve the issue IMO suggest possible intentional practice. This should be an easy case to resolve. I have the offer, the receipt and the service records. There should not be much to argue over. Thank you!**************

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

On September 26, 2023, we received your complaint, dated September 25, 2023, filed with the Better Business Bureau.

You stated that you signed up for an offer to receive a $200.00 rebate after beginning your Boost Mobile service. You mentioned that after several months, you were unable to redeem the offer through multiple retail locations or through Boost ************** You requested to receive the $200.00 rebate.

The Boost Mobile Terms and Conditions disclose that this offer was only available to customers who activated a new line of service on a $50.00 or $60.00 unlimited plan in which your e-gift would be received after your third successful monthly payment. As you are on a $25.00-Per-Month, 12-Month Unlimited Talk and Text plus 12 GB Hotspot plan, your account did not qualify for the $200.00 e-gift offer.

We respectfully decline your request for the $200.00 e-gift rebate.
