My account was suspended not by my doing but by boost I have called them over nine times I have requested to talk to a supervisor I keep being told that it's being escalated and that it'll take 24 to 48 hours for my service to be reinstored I had to go into the store and pay an extra $60 to get my phone on which that did nothing my account was not credited the proper amount of $114 instead they only gave me 91 I requested to speak to a supervisor but was told that they're just too busy to handle any calls and to call back at a different time I've been without a phone for 2 weeks even though my account has been paid and has a credit on it I have been with boost for over 10 plus years but all I keep hearing from them is thank you for being a loyal customer and it's been escalated I've been without a phone I cannot make calls it's frustrating I've called them every day and been given the runaround yet they take my money. I also watch my 2-year-old grandchild of which now I can't even make any calls if anything was to happen I've done everything that I can do to get my service back on and I keep getting lies and pushed back and forth as far as saying it's been escalated something needs to be done they take your money but they don't give you the service that you deserve like I said I've been without a phone for 2 weeks had to use other people's phones just to call and nothing's been doneBusiness Response

In March, Boost Mobile restored its systems that were affected by the incident that occurred in late February. Thank you for your patience while we restored Boost Mobiles systems.

Around February 2023 Boost Mobile created a new app for customer accounts. Since then, they changed my bill due date to the 6th of each month without notifying me, when it was previously around the end of the month. I called their customer service line, the representative told me they cannot change the due date and sorry for the inconvenience. She also mentioned that my next month of service is free, but why? All I wanted was to have my due date back to where it was originally since it changed without any notification or approval on my end. The new app also seems very scammy, it wants you to log on daily to accrue points off of your bill, as well as download other 3rd party apps and leave online reviews, etc. It just seems like there is a lot of weird, fishy behavior happening behind the scenes with this company.Business Response

Back in December of 2022 I switched over to boost infinite. I brought over my number from a different carrier. The cost was supposed to be $25 a month. On the same day that I ported my number in I noticed that my service was really spotty and not consistent, so I contacted boost infinite and I told him the problem and I requested to port out my number and cancel service. They were okay with me leaving and they released my number and I went to another carrier. They also said the service was scheduled for cancellation. I was also told I would get a refund of $25 since I was only with them literally for less than a day. Well the next month I see $25 charged to my bank and I contacted them and they apologized and said they would schedule the cancellation they also said they would provide a refund. Unfortunately every single month after that and that would be February March and ***** is coming up they have been charging me $25. And every single month I contact them and they tell them that I am being charged for a service I am not using they then proceed to tell me that they will schedule cancellation. It is not right that this company is charging for a service that is not being used the number was ported out back in December and yet they are still charging $25 every month. It is not the customer's fault that their system is not working they need to be able to provide a credit for every month that is charged and stop charging for services not provided. Every month since December I have had to do child support and I even asked them to email me the chat but they do not. This time I saved the chat but I am still unhappy because they are not doing what they promised to do which in my case is to cancel the service since I am not using it and even the number was ported out the service was only used one day.Business Response

Boost Mobile is using ****** scammers in their call centers. I called today, 03/28/23, to make a payment via the *** but the system wouldnt allow it. I spoke to a rep and advised her I was unable to make a payment online and to please let me pay on the automaTed system. She refused and said I must give her my card number, which I believe she kept for her own personal use. Boost Mobile needs to be aware of the scammers they hire, and if they are aware, they need to be fined for facilitating fraud. I asked the rep several times to allow me to speak to a manager. Each time, she refused. I called back later the same day, and my call was intentionally disconnected. When I called again, the rep who answered immediately asked me for my card number (before even looking up or verifying my account). These are scammers and an investigation into cyber crimes facilitated by Boost Mobile should me initiated.Business Response
