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

      On May 22, 2023, we received your correspondence, dated May 9, 2023, filed with the Better Business Bureau.

      You said you purchased a month worth of service and an iPhone 12 on April 29, 2023, through a Boost Mobile store. You indicated you were charged $30.00 without your consent. You also mentioned the phone was not shipped to you. You requested a refund. 

      Boost Mobile stores are individually owned, and they reserve the right to maintain their own return/exchange policies. Additionally, the store's policy is printed on the bottom of the receipt you provided. Therefore, your request for a $30.00 refund is unwarranted. 

      Our records confirm that the iPhone 12 was not shipped to you. A $215.49 refund has been submitted. Please allow up to 20 business days for processing.

      We strive to provide excellent service and we regret that your experience was unfavorable. Boost Mobile appreciates your business and we thank you for your continued loyalty.

      Sincerely,

      Better Business Bureau:

      I have reviewed the response made by the business in reference to complaint ID ********, and find that this resolution is satisfactory to me

      The only reason this is a resolution because they said I couldnt get a refund for the money I paid on the phone plan because I used it which I understand but again your customer service rep activated my phone through only E sim without my consent so still boost mobile is at fault here this is not even the phone I purchased through that order I bought this from a boost mobile store and waiting for a return of my plan that I havent used which is what my other BBB complaint is about but again you guys just do what you want and dont try to take responsibility for your actions 


      Sincerely,

      I am on autopay with Boost Mobile. They charge my card every month. They charged my Discover on May 1, 2023. Then they suspended my service. Each time I call I get the run around. It's now the 9th. Thankfully I have maintained a home phone, otherwise I'd be lost! Still unable to email or text as well as call. Missed text communications from friends for 9 days now. Have been trying to email photos to no avail. This is just not right. So irresponsible, when I am on autopay, and they have the money. To talk to a supervisor "you have to wait". Like it's in the rule book. That wait time is between 40 minutes to an hour. Today is the 9th, and they told me I had to wait ANOTHER 72 hours for them to resolve. That's what they told me last week.

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

      On May 22, 2023, we received your complaint, dated May 9, 2023, filed with the Better Business Bureau.

      You said that you paid your bill on May 1, 2023, but your service was suspended and you were unable to use your phone up until May 9, 2023. 

      When we spoke on June 1, 2023, you said that no one could give you a reason for your service being suspended, and you are concerned it will continue, so you are considering switching carriers. I explained that your account was moved from the old Sprint system to the new Boost Mobile platform; occasionally, issues arise when making modifications or enhancements to the system, but the exact cause of this issue is still under review. As a courtesy, I applied credits for two months of service to your account, which you accepted. We also agreed that you would call me later to ensure your ******* information is accurate. 

      Sincerely,

      Boost mobile cut my phone off because of a mistake for fraud. I paid the balance and they still have yet to cut my phone off after multiple customers service reps have submitted 3 TICKETS AND MY SERVICE IS STILL OFF AND IM GETTING THE RUN AROUND. By far the worst cell phone service known to man, I WOUOD NOT RECOMMEND THEM TO ANYONE.

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

      On May 22, 2023, we received your complaint, dated May 9, 2023, filed with the Better Business Bureau.

      You stated that despite making your monthly payment, your Boost Mobile service was interrupted. You stated that your service remains interrupted and you are unable to get further information as to what caused this interruption.

      Please be advised that our records indicate your service line was interrupted on May 6, 2023, due to a customer-initiated chargeback that we received for your payment of $26.57 made on February 15, 2023. Due to the prepaid nature of Boost Mobile service, when a chargeback is received, the funds are removed from the account. This causes the interruption of your prepaid service line. 

      Our records show that multiple tickets have been submitted to restore this service line, and each time you have been advised that in order to restore this service line, a payment of $26.57 is required. This remains true. You can make a payment at any time via your Boost Mobile application or by calling customer service. 

      Sincerely,

      On May 1st of this year . My phone service with Boost Mobile was suspended. Received an email stating I had violated terms and conditions of my service. Went to my local boost mobile store. The lady at the store informed me she couldn't help me. Informed me it was happening to alot of customers. While at the store. 2 other customers arrived with the same issue. Then was informed that Dish Network had bought Boost. Which I never knew. Called Boost ************* Was told to call Dish. They were the ones who suspended my service. Took me 2 days to get through to them. Finally got them on the line. Was informed they were not responsible for that process. I have been trying for over a week. To get this resolved. I have been treated rudely. Hung up on. Lied to repeatedly. I have been with Boost Mobile for quite awhile. I have never had any issues. And never abused my service. I may not get my service back on. But this a very poor way to operate a business. To treat their customers. Like I have been treated. I have also filed a complaint with the **** And am contacting the **** Someone needs to keep an eye on Boost Mobile. Am also contacting a lawyer. This is wrong. I'm not guilty. Not letting this go easy. Thank You.

      On 5/8/2023 at 12:30 p.m. I went into my local Boost Mobile store and inquired about switching my phone from Metro PCS to Boost Mobile. After being told that I qualified for the promotion. I went ahead and switched service. When I left the store the gentleman told me to wait **** minutes and the service should be working. When I left the store I was only receiving text messages. After 45 minutes of not being able to use my phone. I returned to the store, and they called tech support who told them to switch the sim card out. The phone service still did not work. I was then told to wait 2 hours and try again. I then started calling customer support, who told me the sim card in the phone was not correct. I explained to them, that the store called tech support and was told to change the sim card. After all of this I then went back to the store because my phone was still not working. They once again called tech support and was left on hold for 70 minutes, and was still on hold when I left the store totally fed up with the s*** show. I then called customer support a total of 15 times being hung up on, call routed to different departments getting different answers each time. I was then told we could try an esim. The esim wouldn't work either. Then was told they needed to escalate to a higher department because nothing was working, and expect a call back within a few hours. NEVER heard anything from anybody. As of this writing I'm still without phone service some 15 hours later. I called back and continued to be giving the run around, hung up on, and straight lied to. Nobody has even acted like they really cared about the customer. Asked to speak with a supervisor, and they say "we don't have supervisors" hang up and call back and ask for a supervisor and it's "for what reason do you need to speak with a supervisor." This has been a 15 hour nightmare cause by incompetent people who should not be working in customer service.

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

      On May 22, 2023, we received your complaint, dated May 9, 2023, filed with the Better Business Bureau.

      You said that you are experiencing issues with Boost Mobile service on your device.  

      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. 

      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. 

      Boost Mobile constantly monitors its network for service and capacity-related issues, and we work diligently to address any issues we identify, or that our customers bring to our attention. We have determined that the network serving the area where you reside and travel to is located within our coverage zone, and no network issues were identified.

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

      Please be advised that our records show this account has been disconnected.

      In December of 2022 when I signed up with Boost mobile, there was a Black Friday promotion. The promotion was to sign up for the $50 plan, pay your monthly bill on time for 3 months and you will be issued a $200 **** gift card. I paid my bill on time each month Every time I call about the promotion there is a different excuse. That it will take 4 to 6 weeks, or they are having a system issue. It's almost the middle of May. I just want my $200 **** card that is owed to me

      On June 14, 2023, we received your rebuttal, dated June 14,2023, filed with the Better Business Bureau.

      You said you wanted a gift card and not an account credit.

      In order to receive the gift card, all eligibility requirements and redemption steps had to be completed by April 18, 2023. While our records reflect that the eligibility requirements were not completed for your account, I made an exception and applied the $200.00 credit.

      While we sincerely regret any inconvenience, we are no longer able to issue gift cards for the Black Friday promotion. And the gift card request cannot be honored.

Two days later I was told my phone was not activated, and they would try again . After several attempts and talking to multiple agents, for about a week or so , I was told my phone could not be activated with an electronic sim card . In the store or over the phone . I said that i wanted my refund, and Boost mobile said I would be granted one . Its now 05/08/23 and I have not received my refund still . I uploaded photos of the $29.79 being deducted from my account, and images of the two ticket numbers Boost mobile issued me for my refund .

      I have been trying to port my number to a new provider since there was issue with service. So far, they haven't been able to send me the correct account number. They have mixed up my mom's information with my information and haven't fixed it since May 5. The account they keep giving me is ************ which is not the correct account. Every time I call, I get bounced from one department to the next. Sometimes people can find my info and other times they can't. Either way, I've been told I'm on their legacy system and after I get transferred, I'm told I'm not. The phone number I am trying to port is ********** but without the correct account number, I can't do it. I've tried to escalate it but nothing has come from it. I am currently working with my bank because they also charged me on the day I was trying to switch. I want the correct account number so that I can port my number so I can fully cancel my account with them. I have asked for a ticket number about them escalating it and there is none so I have no idea if they are actually trying to fix it or not. Currently it says that my mom's number has been terminated but mine is still active since I can't transfer my number to the new provider to actually close the account since I keep being given the wrong account. Each number has its own account number but they keep giving me my mom's.

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

      On May 9, 2023, we received your complaint, dated May 8, 2023, filed with the Better Business Bureau.

      You said you have been trying to port your number to a new provider, but Boost Mobile keeps providing you your mothers account number instead.

      A review indicates there were two phone lines: both have the same account number but different port-out PINs. 

      Our records indicate phone number ************** was successfully ported out and the account is disconnected. 

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

      Sincerely,

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

      On May 22, 2023, we received your complaint, dated May 8, 2023, filed with the Better Business Bureau.

      You said you made a payment at a retail store on May 3, 2023, but the store failed to post it to the account and they replaced the *** card in your husbands phone with a used *** card. Because the payment was not posted to the account, service was suspended.

      Our system shows that both phones are active and a payment for $80.00 posted to the account on May 3, 2023, which is the date you visited the store. In addition, your account was credited $10.00 on May 7, 2023, and $20.00 on May 22, 2023.

      Please understand that signal strength, network congestion, and the phone itself can affect reception and overall quality.

      Sincerely,
