      I have purchased a new iphone 14 pro from boost mobile last month (sometime in feb of 2023) and I cannot use/activate the device. I have contacted support (via chat and phone) and no one was able to help. I have went in store, paid 25$ for them to activate my (its a service so that's why you have to pay) and left without my phone working. The esim doesn't activate and I told them about it and they said they will talk to their manager and call me IMMEDIATELY. Nothing for a whole week (I went on vacation without it working). I called them when I got back and they said they will put a ticket it for me and call me back then. How am I going to trust this when you didn't call me before? At this point I want my phone to just work so I thought I could go to another carrier. Turns out... the phone isn't unlocked unless its on their network for a full year (I've been a boost customer for years)! I paid the full amount that the apple store charges to get a locked device! So I thought to myself... no problem... I will return the device. They have a different process for online purchases where you need to get a return number. Not a problem at all. I will follow the process.They can't give me a number they said.I have no clue what to do. Im about to just go out and buy a new phone from the apple store and just make it a ****** to never do it again.

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

      On March 20, 2023, we received your complaint, dated March 11, 2023, filed with the Better Business Bureau.

      You stated that you have been unable to obtain your port out *** and account number due to not being able to get through to Boost Mobiles customer service. You are requesting this information as you are wanting to switch service providers. You also requested to have your phone unlocked.

      Please note that the ********************************* (FCC) regulates phone number portability and Boost Mobile strictly complies with that process. In order for a carrier to initiate a port on behalf of a customer, they must provide pertinent billing information regarding the account where the number is being ported from. This information may include, but is not limited to: account number, account holder's name, phone number, five-digit ZIP code, passcode or the *** that is referenced on the account in question. The information provided is inputted into the port request, which is then transmitted to the customers existing carrier. The existing carrier verifies the number to be ported is associated with the account, and that the account information provided in the port request matches their records. If the information is accurate, the port is approved in accordance with FCC guidelines.

      On February 23, we experienced a cybersecurity incident that has affected some of our internal communications, customer call centers, and internet sites. Boost Mobile users may experience difficulty reaching Boost Care. Our teams are working hard to restore systems as soon as possible and are making steady progress.

      In our email correspondence, I provided you with your port out ***. For your reference, it is ******. Please note that the port out *** is only valid for seven days. You can obtain your account number online at *****************************.

      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

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

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

      I have been attempting to contact boost Mobile since February 25th 2023. I am trying to Port my daughter's phone number away from boost to a new plan on ******* mobile. No one at their customer service center or at their port center have taken any phone calls. On March 11th 2023 boost Mobile with **** the automatic payment for service from my daughter's bank account. I think it is criminal that their billing system seems to work just fine but none of their customer services work. I have been attempting to leave boost for 2 weeks, but have been unable to leave because their system is down. I have now been defrauded by boost into another month's payment.

      On or about Feb 23 2023 Boost Mobile had a cyber security breach. To date they have left all their paying customers affected by this in the dark. They refuse to tell us what information was compromised. They refuse to give a good faith ETA for a fix. We were promised, via FB posts, that we would not have our phones shut off due to non payment because of this. They refuse to give me the necessary items so I can take my phone and number to another carrier. I am desperate to get my phone up and running again. Please help.

      I am rejecting this response because:I tried to retrieve my account number and cannot because I have forgotten my password. The only option I have is to have them text a code to me to reset it. I cannot receive texts because they shut my phone off due to their inability to keep a promise. So I still have no way to move my phone to another carrier.

      Boost mobile has currently been down for the last three weeks. Im trying to get my port out/transfer pin and nobody is providing me with that I no longer want to use their services. Theyre making me pay a phone bill on the 15th of this month which is not fair because Ive been begging to have my port out pin so that I can transfer my number to a new carrier.

      We are seeking to port out our phone number from Boost Mobile and they refuse to let us. This is illegal. Phone companies are required to allow us to switch providers. We have been to their store and called customer service multiple times. They blatantly refuse to give us a port out code. This is illegal and we want action taken against this companies illegal actions. Please require them to provide us with a port out code immediately, for our phone number ************. This has also affected our bill, because we have to conjure to pay them, because we cant move our line. Very dishonest of them.

      I am a customer of ********************. I have been attempting to contact them for the last two weeks so I can both cancel my account as well as obtain information from them so that I am able to transfer my current phone number to a new carrier. I have been trying via phone, via online chat, via self-help options on their app and on the website. But the two services I require are only possible by contacting their live customer service (i.e. talking to a human being). However, no one ever answers the phone. Instead, I am told that Boost Mobile is having technical issues and that they hope to be available soon. That was two weeks ago. I try contacting them daily. Yet they still pulled my monthly payment from my account two days ago! I want to cancel and no longer pay them anything, but I cannot get a Boost staff person to assist me. I am incredibly frustrated at the company taking my money, yet no one from the company will help me cancel this account. Im stuck in a loop. My next move is to see if my ************ can block Boost from taking my money next month too. But I may never be able to transfer my phone number to a new carrier without Boosts assistance. Thank you for your time in reading this.

      Complaint: 19584134

      I am rejecting this response because:
      I have tried repeatedly, via direct telephone contact, to CLOSE my account with Boost.  I have been trying to do this now for over three weeks.  Yesterday, I finally was able to get through to a human being (all attempts at telephone contact prior to yesterday were met with an automated message, explaining Boost was having issues).   The person I spoke with said he could not close my account!   He said I would need to try again "in a few days."

      This is absolutely not acceptable.   I have already signed up with a new mobile carrier and I now have a new phone number.  I had already tried to obtain that port-out  information in late February from Boost Mobile, but ultimately gave up, when it became clear Boost Mobile was not answering their phones.

      Yes, I did receive an email from Boost this week with the port-out information, but it is far too late.  As I said, I now have a new phone number with a new carrier.

      What I need now is to CLOSE/CANCEL this account with Boost.  I am not going to keep calling every day only to be told that no one can actually help me with what I need at this point.  That is ridiculous.  Why can't someone close my account when I call?

      After Boost Mobile continued to take money out of my checking account, I also had to cancel my debit card.  Good luck trying to get any more money out of me, Boost.

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

      On March 28, 2023, we received your rebuttal, dated March 28, 2023, filed with the Better Business Bureau.

      You requested to have your Boost Mobile account canceled.

      As I explained in my last response on February 23, 2023, we experienced a cybersecurity incident that has affected some of our internal communications, customer call centers, and internet sites. Boost Mobile users may experience difficulty reaching Boost Care. Our teams are working hard to restore systems as soon as possible and are making steady progress.

      I removed autopay from your account and submitted a $40.00 refund as a courtesy.

      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.

      I appreciate that Boost Mobile did the right thing and not only cancelled my account but also refunded the most recent payment (which I had been trying to cancel beforehand).   

      I am grateful for this resolution and I sincerely appreciate the updates.  Thanks so much!


      Sincerely,

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

      Dear Daim:
      On March 13, 2023, we received your complaint, dated March 11, 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
      Your unlock request has been granted; please allow 72 hours for this to process, and ensure your phone is powered on with 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).

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