      IN December 2024 I purchased an Iphone 15 from boost mobile for cash and connected it to my account, two weeks later I ordered the Iphone 16 pro max from boost mobile online and upgraded my service, and activated the new phone. I then asked boost mobile to unlock the phone I purchased a week earlier, paid in full, but they say I have to wait a year. They are refusing to unlock a phone that I own outright and that is not connected to my boost account.

      Dear ****************************** 22, 2025, we received your complaint, dated January 16, 2025, 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

      Your unlock request has been granted; please allow 72 hours for this to process, and ensure your phone is powered on and the Boost Mobile *** card inserted.

      *** Unlock refers to enabling the *** slot of a device to allow insertion of another carriers *** card. 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).

      You said that you were promised a refund after you ported your phone number to another carrier, but you did not receive it.Therefore, you request a refund to be issued.

      Generally, in accordance with Boost Mobile policy, once a payment posts to an account it is not refundable. However, as an exception a refund of $44.69 was issued on January 22, 2025.

      We apologize for any inconvenience this has caused.

      Good morning,

      Please re-open my case ********. I am 63 years old and did not know what to click on to reject the company's solution. Boost Mobile did not give me $44.69 on the original payment credit card. They gave me a credit of .77 cents on my Boost Mobile account. I am no longer with Boost Mobile. Please have them credit my credit card.

      I've attached a copy of the email for .77 cents.

      A review of your account revealed that the initial refund was canceled and reissued for the difference of $44.69. Please note that if your card issuer rejects the electronic refund, it will be reissued in the form of a check mailed to the address on file.

      Dear Ms. ********************* March 14, 2025, we received your second rebuttal,dated March 14, 2025, filed with the Better Business Bureau.

      You rejected our response again stating the refund(s) should have been sent in the form of a check because the original payments were drawn from a government benefits card that allows the funds to be used for a specific month.

      You did not make us aware of this in either of your two previous complaints; therefore, the refunds were successfully posted to the cards ending in 9646 and 0583. You will need to work with your institution and/or the issuing agency regarding this matter.

      Dear **************************** 16, 2025, we received your complaint, dated January 16, 2025, filed with the Better Business Bureau.

      You said that after making a payment of $35.00 in December 2024 (with your next bill not being until February 2025), you were confused as to why your device network was swapped from T-Mobile to Boost Mobile. You indicated that, during this time, you were unable to make calls or use the internet and when attempting to reach customer care, you received a message stating that you are unable to connect. You requested to be contacted.

      When we spoke on the phone today, you explained that you had another issue on February 8 and 9, 2025. You were notified that your bill was due and your service would be interrupted, despite already paying for the month. I informed you that nothing on your account indicates your bill was overdue, and I apologized for the confusion. I also suggested that you contact customer care or myself, should you run into any further network issues. In the interest of customer satisfaction, I applied a credit of $15.00 to your account due to these service issues. You were not satisfied with this amount and ended our call.

      We regret any inconvenience this may have caused.

      Dear ***************************** 16, 2025, we received your complaint, dated January 15, 2025, filed with the Better Business Bureau.

      You stated that you canceled your service because it was bad and customer care was rude. You said we charged you $********** requested autopay be removed and to receive a billing adjustment.

      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. 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.

      We strive to provide excellent customer service and we regret that your experience was unfavorable.

      You canceled your service while you were in a financing agreement; therefore, you were charged for the remaining balance of the device. No payment was taken from you. The balance will remain valid and appear on your credit report if not paid in a timely manner. However, you have been disenrolled from autopay.

      Your request for a billing adjustment is denied.

      If there are further questions or concerns about this issue, please feel free to contact me at **************.

      I have activated a line under Boost which could not be used. After various attempts to resolve my issue and a total of 4 hours waiting to be assisted. I ported my number out to another carrier. The number in question is ************.Per Boost's terms ****************************************************************** I am entitled for a refund on the grounds of their terms as well as the *** billing credit law which outlines disruptions and adjustments made to the billing in the event of disruptions. In my particular case it was the inability of Boost to assist me with WIFI calling and texting which rendered the service unusable.I am requesting compensation of the total bill plus considered compensation for the time wasted trying to resolve both the technical issues and billing issues.Attached is just a small sample size of the extremely long call times with no resolution/inability to connect with an agent to assist.

      Unfortunately this company is being misinformed by the employee at Boost of they are lieing for them.  I walked into Boost Mobile in *********** checking the rates of various companies.  I was given a quote by the lady in charge at the counter.  I told her, at the time, I was going to check a couple of other places and I may be back.  I went to ******* first then to TMobile and also another place which I decided not to go with.  I went back to Boost and the gal I wished to sign up with Boost.  She then said the rate she gave me was low and adjusted it up, around $75.00.  I told her fine and gave her the funds and also gave her my phone to put the sim card in.  She did all that gave me the phone and said I would either have to pay by the 16th each month or come and and pay with an added $3.00 charge. My phone was shut off and I inquired about that and was told by due date was past.  Either she lied to me or misinformed me.  I want the funds back for all my payment to Boost and will move on.  If not I am going to spread the word all over the internet about Boost as well as all my friends.  There is only one way to make these companies accountable, the pocket.  This is firm and I hope they are honest enough to do the right thing.

      You maintain your request for a full refund because a retail store provided you with inaccurate information and your service was disconnected.

      Your request for a refund will continue to be denied. You paid us $26.54 and received our service from December 13, 2024 to January 13, 2025.Your account was then disconnected due to nonpayment. We see no justification for a refund. We have documented your concerns with the independent retail store in question and we ask for you to work this out with them, as we have no way to validate that they provided you with the wrong due date.

      If there are further questions or concerns about this issue,please feel free to contact me at **************.

      Sincerely,

      ******* *******

      Sir:  I am really getting my monies worth even though this case has been distorted, lied about etc.  There was not even a message or retort about the $75.00 I paid upfront to the lady at the desk at Boost.  All my friends will not do any business with Boost and there will be posts on TicTok, ********* Instrgram, and all the other internet outlets.  I will have had my satisfaction by denying any monies going to Boost.  Also, I am going to contact the parent companie of Boost and let them know my feelings about being ripped off by them.  This way I will have been paid back and Boost will have been known to a lot of friends, families and private peoples about this corrupt companie.  If they get away with this, who knows how many others will have been ripped off also.

      I had signed up for boost mobile was approved and then 3 days later my order was cancelled. Nobody could tell me why at boost customer support. So I then was told that I would be refunded within 72 hours. In need of cell service we got approved by another carrier and we have service now. But I am still waiting for my refund. This whole experience has been a nightmare and all we want is our money back. My wife has stage 4 pancreatic cancer and it was bad enough that we did without cell service. To approve a customer and then decline and cancel the order was bad enough but to have to wait 10 buissness days for our money is unacceptable. We dont want boost for service since they cancelled our order we just want our money returned to my account

      Dear ********************************* 15, 2025, we received your complaint, dated January 14, 2025, filed with the Better Business Bureau.

      You said that after signing up and being approved for Boost Mobile services, three days later your order was cancelled without your knowledge. When speaking with a Boost Mobile customer care agent, you were informed that a refund would be issued within 72 hours, but it was never received. You requested to be contacted by Boost Mobile and to have your funds returned to you.

      Our records confirm that your initial payment of $220.61 was made on January 6, 2025, and a refund was issued on January 21, 2025, for the same amount.

      We regret any inconvenience this may have caused you.
