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

      On May 17, 2023, we received your correspondence, dated May 1, 2023, filed with the Better Business Bureau.

      You said you purchased a phone and a month of service on February 25, 2023. When you contacted **, you were unable to activate the phone/service. You requested to return the phone and receive a refund for it and the service you were unable to use. 

      On February 23, 2023, we experienced a cybersecurity incident that has affected some of our internal communications, customer call centers, and internet sites. We immediately activated our incident response and business continuity plans to contain, assess, and remediate the situation. Because of this incident, some of our customers are having trouble reaching our service desks, accessing their accounts, and making payments. Were making progress on the customer service front every day, including ramping up our call capacity, but it will take a little time before things are fully restored.

      When we spoke, I informed you that a $25.12 refund has been submitted for the service you did not use. Please allow up to 20 business days for processing. We emailed you a *** return label. Once the phone is returned and inspected, a $87.14 refund will be submitted. 

      We regret that your initial experience was discouraging, and we look forward to having the opportunity to provide you with excellent service in the near future. 

      Sincerely,

      I got 2 boost mobile phones and service online. After a friend telling me do not bother I cancelled order 30 minutes later. They said they sending anyway. Ok, so I opened one phone activated used that one day and up total garbage! So the very next day a Saturday I sent all of back they even gave me a return number to write on the box. They received it that Monday. Only one phone was opened everything else I sent back in original package not open. That was April 2nd they got the return back I received them March 31 they got back April 2nd. They have yet to return the money. My bank covered me but not forever. They will not talk to me and hang up. I told them I will not do business so not charge me anything else. Well today they charged me 82 dollars for a month of service prepaid for **** They had no right since I have no permission they charged without authorization on an account that doesn't exist. They charged for 2 lines the other lines wasn't even activated. They owe ****** ***** ***** and now another ***** and some change in giving round number so about ****** all together. I turned into ********** there investigating but nothing done yet. My next option is to take them to court. They continue to steal from my bank account this is fraud and theft! It needs to stop! I cannot afford this. Thank you

      Dear ******************:
      On May 16, 2023, we received your complaint, dated May 1, 2023, filed with the Better Business Bureau.

      You stated that you placed an order for two lines, as you brought one device and purchased another. When you received the shipment, you only activated one device, but you did not like the service and decided to cancel. You shipped back the unused phone. Your account was then charged $82.96 for the next monthly payment. You requested a refund for the device you returned and the payment.

      Our records indicate that the device you returned was received on April 30, 2023,and a refund of $10.59 was issued that day.

      Your account was set up for automatic payments. This caused the payment of $82.96 to be taken, as the account was still active. I removed automatic payments to prevent future instances such as this, and I requested a refund for the $82.96 payment taken on April 30, 2023. Please allow seven to ten days for processing.

      Sincerely,

      Dear ******************:
      On May 31, 2023, we received your rebuttal, dated May 31, 2023, filed with the Better Business Bureau.

      You rejected our response because you said that you that you due a refund of $158.00 for the purchase of a device.

      The payments made on the account are as follows:

      $52.10 - This payment covered the cost of the first device at $9.99, and the first month of service for the first device at $40.00 plus tax.
      $11.13 - This payment was for the first month of service on the second device.
      $10.59 - This payment was for a second device at $9.99 plus $0.60 tax.
      $82.96 - This payment was for the second month of service for both lines.

      The $10.59 payment was refunded on April 30, 2023, when the unopened device was returned. The remaining payments on the account total $146.19.

      Our records indicate that the refund submitted for $82.96 was rejected as it is currently being disputed by your financial institution. We are unable to refund a payment if theres an open dispute. Please contact your financial institution for further assistance.

      My phone line was suspended by another user on my account, I posted $100 deposit into the account be leaving it was due to the fact that my individual account had taken over and been separated from the family account. Upon realizing my phone line had not been restored, I called and requested a full refund. Representative messed up the refund request and it was not caught until after I called to check the status. A follow-up was requested by another representative. My money had been used in the account for the other individual remaining in the account, and I have been denied a full refund due to that money having been used a full 10 days after the request for a refund was made. I am continuously being told that their hands are tied and cannot issue me a refund.

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

      On May 16, 2023, we received your complaint, dated April 30,2023, filed with the Better Business Bureau.

      You requested your device be unlocked.

      Boost Mobile will unlock a device under the following circumstances:

      ?The device has not been reported as lost/stolen or otherwise flagged as ineligible for unlocking
      ?The device has been active on the associated account for at least 12 months

      Please be advised that our records show that your unlock request has already been granted; please allow 72 hours for this to process and ensure your phone is powered on with the Boost Mobile SIM card inserted. Please also ensure that all software on your device is fully updated. If your phone requires a Master Subsidy Lock (MSL) PIN, please use ****** when your device instructs you to do so.

      MSL refers to providing a specific code in order to disable software that sets device parameters and prevents the device from activation on a different network. 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).

      On February the 8th I purchased two ******* Galaxy phones upon receiving the phones they did not work with *** cards that came with n the phone. We then contacted Boost Mobile about the issue, they advised that we put the *** cards in and wait a couple hours. We waited a couple hours and then called the company back, we was then advised again to take the *** card out and put them back in we did that and the phone's did not work and a ticket was placed we called back again then was told to wait the three 3 days. We then went to a Boost Mobile store and was advised that they sent the wrong *** cards. We had to pay an activation fee and pay to get new *** cards we called the company to get a credit on the bill for the days we was out of service We was advisedthe credit could not be granted. My husband was without his phone for almost a week and he could not be without his phone for a week this has caused a major inconvenience cuz he has to stay in contact with his doctor. On April 23rd we called to get the phone unlocked because we are switching carriers the phones are still lockedr we called numerous times and was told that the phones will be unlocked. We called on the 29 of April I was informed that the tickets has been closed to get the phones unlocked and our account has been suspended. The tickets were placed on Tuesday and we were told it would be 24 hours as of this date our phones are still locked.Now we have been without a phone for almost a month due to this inconvenience. I would like to have the phones unlocked we have done everything that the company has asked us to do and our phones are still locked.On the 29th I was advisedthat because our plan was moved over on 3-21-2023 we cannot get the phones unlocked. I was never advised of thisinformation. I would like to see this in writing. This a no contract plan. I just ask that the phones unlocked.

      3/29/23 purchased device and sim card directly from Boost mobile. Attempted to port over phone number but was unsuccessful.

I'm seeking a refund for the initial purchase of the now working sim card..I have been in touch with Boost since 4/9 and still have not received or is Boost making any attempts to refund my money..

      As a courtesy??? No the $42.45 I paid was for services that did not work. I was told several several times I would be refunded.. Nothing. I was even told by a rep to file a dispute with bank.. I went almost 2 months without service due to the lack of help from Boost Mobile.. **************** dropped the line when I asked questions that they had no answers too. Submitted numerous refund request and was given the run around the entire time.. And it's called courtesy.. You can keep that _.. Thank you but no thanks.. I don't want it..

      I have been a Boost Mobile Customer for 10 years. For the past 10 years I have always paid my monthly bill online and in advance of the due date.It is my practice to add my payment method at the time l am making a payment, and then remove my payment method from the website once the payment has gone through.For security reasons I do not store my payment method on any website.I have never had a problem with this from any Company including Boost Mobile.In January, 2023 Boost Mobile installed a new website. When I tried to remove my payment method after making January's payment, the new website would not allow me to remove it without first substituting it with a different payment method. stating that Boost requires at least one payment method to be stored. I did not enroll in any auto pay. I have been contacting Boost **************** from January 2023 until this present date. April 27, 2023.I have been informed that they are unable to correct this situation. That they are getting the same message . I am appalled that Boost Mobile is not interested in correcting this matter.I am a Senior Citizen and I feel very vulnerable with my bank information being stored in a company that does not have control over it's website.I am at my **** end and do not know where to turn to get this fixed.Below is the message I receive when trying to remove my payment method.Boost **************** tried to remove it also without success.We require at least one payment method Close Card Please add another form of payment before you remove this one.OK

      Ever since I changed my phone number, I cannot make calls, send/receive text messages, no data. It's been almost a month. I've been calling customer service every other day. Before I changed my number, I had changed my plan to a yearly plan for $302.34. Till this day, I still don't have service. It is very frustrating that no one seem to be able to resolve the issue. I even went in a Boost Mobile store. The employees couldn't even help me. Nobody knows what is going on. I even bought a new sim card, hoping that way could some how fix the issue. After I purchased the new sim card, they couldn't even activate it. On my phone, where it shows the phone number, its showing UNKNOWN. When you tried to call my number, it shows "CALL ENDED". This is the worst experience i've had with wireless carrier. When request for a refund, the customer service agent said they cannot refund me because it's been a month already. I told them to check my last usage, was told that they cannot pull up the record. I changed my number right after I changed to the yearly plan. I don't know what to do at this point. I still have $150 credit on my account.

      Dear Bay *****:

      On May 16,2023, we received your correspondence, dated April 29, 2023, filed with the Better Business Bureau.
