      Boost Black Friday offer (extended) of $200 Vanilla Gift Card was never given after 3 months of service as advertised. First, they blamed the hacking they were on the news about, then said to wait a little longer, then said to wait even more and now I am entering over 5 months service in with no reward or link to sign up for it or anything. Others online have also not seen this offer redeemed. According to the offer, a customer would get an e-mail link to complete the offer ***** days after the 3rd month payment. Then it would take 4-6 weeks for gift card. I have not received a link, gift card, or anything promised.

      On May 31, 2023, we received your complaint, dated May 21, 2023, filed with the Better Business Bureau.

      You said that you were supposed to receive a $200.00 gift card, but you had not.

      On February 23, 2023, we experienced a cybersecurity incident that affected some of our internal communications, customer call centers, and promotional systems. As such, I applied a $200.00 credit to your account in lieu of the gift card.

      My phone stopped working on 5/14. I purchased another phone and when switched the *** card, I got an error message "not in network". After a few calls with customer services, they advised to purchase another *** card, I paid $10.91 more. When the new *** card was activated on 5/18 still I didn't have service and after a couple of calls, about 2 hours long with customer services, they said the issue needed further escalation. Within the next hour in Boost Mobile website the status of my line ************ changed to "Line Terminated" and the bill for my family plan when from $60 for 2 lines + illimited calls to ****** to $55 for 1 single line. I called customer service again and they changed it back to $55 per 2 lines; however, my main line is still "Terminated". I chatted customer service through ******** and they told me they can reinstate my line and I need to create another account with new number and link it to a different email account and that wouldn't affect my family plan cost. I called customer service and they told me I needed to go to the store because they can't add a new line to my plan. In the store, I was told they can add a new line to my family plan, that they will create a new number but I will have to pay $60 for 1 month of service and activation fee again, and that I have to call customer service for them to adjust my cost and create a family plan with my 2 lines. I have been Boost Mobile client for over 12 years. I want my phone number ************ back and I want my lines together in a family plan with the same cost and services I had before all this mess, I also want a refund for the additional $60 I had to pay in the store for a new line and I want a refund for the days I have not been able to use my line. I will be charged $55 in 5/23 for 2 lines when I couldn't use my phone for 9 days plus a new line that I had to pay.

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

      On May 31, 2023, we received your complaint, dated May 20,2023, filed with the Better Business Bureau.

      You stated that your service stopped working on May 14,2023, and your main service line was terminated. You requested a billing adjustment.

      As stated in the Boost Mobile Terms and Conditions (which can be viewed on our website www.boostmobile.com), coverage and quality of wireless services and data speeds may be affected by conditions beyond our control. Wireless services cannot be regularly transmitted through concrete structures, such as buildings, basements, walls, and various other structures.As a result, customers may experience difficulty making or receiving calls while indoors. In addition, data coverage is not available everywhere and service speeds are not guaranteed. ************ speeds may depend on the service purchased and actual speeds will vary. There are gaps in coverage within our estimated coverage areas that (along with other factors both within and beyond our control which may result in dropped and blocked connections,slower service speeds, etc.) may impact the quality of service. Please note that the nature of wireless signal precludes any carrier from providing seamless coverage, and Boost Mobile offers no warranty or guarantee of such.

      Please note that our records indicate you called in and requested the disconnection of your service line ending in 0470.

      Sincerely,

      I am rejecting this response because: I didn't request the termination of the line at any moment and the last call with customer service they confirmed nobody requested the termination of the line. Additionally the fee of the service is still $55.00 for 2 lines when I only have 1 line in that account because my number ************ is still terminated. Also, staff told me over the phone the line was migrated to the new system on 5/10 and it seems that's when an error on the migration happened an my line was lost. The retention representative applied credit for 1 month and told me he can't change my account to 1 line and advise for me to try to change it every day or to cancel at the end of the month of service.

      You stated that you did not request the disconnection of your service line, and a Boost Mobile agent confirmed this. You also said that you are still paying $55.00 per month for two service line, while your phone number ending in **** is still disconnected.

      We strive to provide excellent service and we regret that your experience was unfavorable. We appreciate your feedback and your concerns will be used to improve our customers' interactions with our agents.

      As I advised you via email, I can attempt to reactivate your phone number ending in **** to your $55.00 per month plan. Please reach out to me directly with your preferred course of action, and we will proceed accordingly.

      You stated that you have received no response regarding the restoration of your phone number.

      As I stated in my email dated July 12, 2023, we are currently unable to restore phone numbers due to our migration to a new network.

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

      On August 12, 2023, we received your rebuttal, dated August 11, 2023, filed with the Better Business Bureau.

      You stated that your phone number still has not been restored. You also stated that you have not been provided compensation for your expenses related to starting a new service line. You requested that we provide your account number and port out PIN to port your phone number to a new wireless carrier.

      As I previously advised you, Boost Mobile does not currently have the ability to restore phone numbers once they have been disconnected. We regret any inconvenience this may have caused. However, Boost Mobile does not provide compensation for expenses related to opening a service line with a competitor. Your request for an account credit or refund is respectfully declined.

      Additionally, as your Boost Mobile account has been disconnected for over 60 days, you are no longer able to port out this phone number.

      Sincerely,

      Complaint: 20084727

      I am rejecting this response because: I requested Boost to compensate for the expenses I incurred with Boost Mobile. 3 SIM cards with activation fees to try to recover my number and the charges for the service that was not provided from May 14 to Aug when I did change provider. It is very disappointing all the trouble Boost created and the lack of accountability for their part.

      My 17 year old son purchased what he thought was a pair of earbuds from a Boost kiosk store inside of his place of employment , which is Imperial *****************************, ******** *****. There were no earbuds in the case, so he went back and was given another set. This pair consisted of one completely non functioning one and one that only changed to 53% and drained in minutes. He went back to just get his money and he was refused a refund and offers store credit while the store had no more earbuds. I read the return policy and it says no exchange and refunds needed to occur within 7 days of the purchase. It has been two days at the time of this complaint being issued. Both days were a bad interaction. He has the option of going through Boost Mobile online and getting a return authorisation number and sending them back. As a concerned parent, I called Boosts customer service and I was asked if I was a Boost customer after asking if that agent would transfer me to whoever I could speak to about this type of situation, and when I said no she hung up on me.

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

      On May 31, 2023, we received your complaint, dated May 20, 2023, filed with the Better Business Bureau.

      You said that your son purchased ear buds at a Boost Mobile kiosk, but they were defective and you requested a refund.

      Please note that Boost Mobile locations (including kiosks) are independently owned and operated and are able to enforce their own return and refund policies. Many have a no-refund policy for accessories, and Boost Mobile does not receive any funds from accessory purchases, so we are unable to provide a refund.

      Your son may wish to contact the ear bud manufacturer to enquire about their warranty, or work with the kiosk owner to come to a reasonable resolution.

      We sincerely regret any inconvenience this issue may have caused.

      So they charged me $202 for nothing. They are overcharging me and keep telling me to wait 24 hours for them to "figure it out". I've been without service for a month and I'm starting to get tired of this.

      You said you were charged $202.00 and your service was interrupted.

      I called and cancelled my Boost Mobile service (that was never activated) and requested information on how to return the phone I purchased from Boost Mobile. The agent told me she arranged for a return and that I would receive an email with return instructions in two days. I never activated the phone so all I have is an account # ************ and P.I.N. ****. She gave me a case # *******. Two days later I received an email saying my case was closed but did not receive return authorization or return instructions. I called again today and was instructed to call ****** and give them tracking # 1Z52A2590310720764 and that they would issue me a return label.

      I have been with Boost Mobile for over 8yrs. I have been under the unlimited plan and VIP membership which allows me to have a 14 day grace ******* I made my usual payment on 4/27 and recvd message confirmation that my payment was confirmed for the nxt mo. On 5/17, my phone was suspended with no warning no explanation no nothing. I called Boost 4x that day. I was told that Boost switched to a different system, at that time, 12 days prior. They said they couldn't find my payment and would need to put in an escalated ticket to have someone check the old system. They also told me that they no longer have the 14 day grace ******* They told me it would take up to 72hrs and someone would reach out to me. I was very upset because I have an autistic child and it is essential that I have phone service. They said the only way they could turn my phone on is for me to pay $50. I do not have $50 at this time to pay something I've already paid. I received no response no resolution. I called today 5/19 and was on hold for 30mins for a supervisor because I was told that my ticket was submitted at 1:37p on 5/17 when I called at 8 something in the morning and the ticket was not processed. I was on hold again for an hr and half waiting on a supv and when one came on the line, they said their name then the call was disconnected. I'm currently on hold now going on 45mins to speak with a supervisor because the rep said that I would need to pay $50 to have my phone svc restored because the due date was 5/16. I asked how is that fair to me when my svc was disconnected with no notice or anything to me and why should I have to suffer with no svc because you all switched to a new system in the middle of my regular billing cycle. No one has an answer. I am beyond livid that my svc was suspended due to no fault of my own & do not think I should be made to pay again for a svc I already paid for under the old system. I want to file a complaint against Boost Mobile&request asst. getting my svc on.

      I purchased a used phone from boost Mobile back in February and it came with 3 months of service. Immediately I canceled the service but after 3 months I was still charged for another 3 months. I just want a refund for the new 3 months that was just charged. Boost makes it incredibly hard to contact customer support to deal with any billing issue. In addition they have been having outage issues recently that makes this more difficult.

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

      On May 30, 2023, we received your complaint, dated May 19,2023, filed with the Better Business Bureau.

      You stated that you purchased a three-month service plan but canceled the service immediately. You stated that your service plan renewed automatically for three more months. You requested that we refund you for this latest three-month service plan.

      Please be advised that our records show no notation that any request to disconnect your service was submitted.

      You are advised prior to purchase that by making your purchase, you agree to enroll in autopay and that your service plan will automatically renew at the end of your billing period. This is why you were charged for an additional three months of service. Boost Mobile maintains that this charge for service remains valid, as you were provided disclosures stating that this would occur.

      As this charge for service is valid, no refund will be issued. Please note that autopay is still currently active on your account. If you no longer wish to receive Boost Mobile service, please ensure that autopay is removed from your account. The account will be disconnected after your renewal date if no further payment is received.

      Sincerely,
