Boost Mobile / Boost Worldwide lack of service

I purchased a phone from boost mobile. This phone has been nothing but a piece of junk. When I call the store where I purchased the phone, no one ever answers. I can't even get it to connect to the wifi in my house. It will not make phone calls, freezes up, and just pretty much won't work. Also, I was told that my bill would only be $45 a month with autopay. What a joke that is, it went from $45 to $52 and is now $57. This was all with no warning. My advice don't use boost they are total ripoffs!

Boost Mobile / Boost Worldwide iphone 5

[protected]
10 24 1980
Good Evening,

I am filing a complaint as I was provided misinformation after I purchased a iPhone 5 November 8th 2016 at location 7208 jones at Omaha Ne [protected]. Myra was the young lady that assisted me that day. I asked Myra what If I don't like the phone, Myra stated to me that I have 14 days to return it. I purchased the phone on Wednesday November 8th and request to get another phone on November the 13th. That is when Hannah the store manager told me they do not give refund on phones or exchanges. I attempted to call the store manager Dave in council bluffs he explained Myra has been with the company for several years and I must have misunderstood the workers conversation. I did not want a refund only to exchange my phone for a bigger one for work purposes. I only had the receipt advising differently after I had already purchased the phone. I am taking the time to file a formal complaint do to your staff providing me misinformation. I am requesting someone to please to contact me to mitigate the situation and to retain me as a customer .

Sincerely,
Patrice

Boost Mobile / Boost Worldwide everything

I do not know where to start. I have called, asked, tried to get this resolved and they either cut me off or are rude to get rid of me. Ntelos sold out and boost mobile took over. My voice mail always says "disconnected so cannot retrieve my voice mail. " if I pick up phone can get call, but if goes to voice mail it tells caller number disconnected. What a mess! They keep saying will be 6 more hours. .2 months and not reslved. Every week for rest of my life I will find a place to complain. Starting with ripoff.com. Why is boost mobile preplan so bad. It is my emergency phone number.

Boost Mobile / Boost Worldwide unethical behavior

I was with Straight Talk for the last few years. Always paid for the unlimited plan with 5gb of data. Had to call customer service and that alone made me switch to Boost Mobile... wow, seems like the same customer service reps. Rude on the phone, won't get a supervisor, can't understand half of what they are saying, always wanting to talk over you and read the same crap over and over from the screen.
We never used more than 5gb of data with straight talk, no matter what phones we used. With Boost mobile, we used 5gb in less than 2 weeks and we never changed the way we use our phones. I was told by the customer care rep (if I heard them correctly) that there is an app from boost mobile that uses the internet in the background, and that mixed with our normal usage is what took all the data. Then they were nice enough to off me more data at a fee.
If I fill my car at a gas station once a month for 3 years with no change in price and it lasts me a month, then I go to a different gas station in the same car and fill up at the same price and it only lasts me 2 weeks...why in the heck would I pay for more gas from the same gas station? And also, where did the other 2 weeks worth of gas go, i'm still driving the same, going the same places. either someone is stealing my gas or there was a lot of air pumped into my tank.
In this case, I believe the Boost Mobile app pre-installed on the phone is stealing the data so that I have to buy more data, and that is a rip off in my opinion.
They hung up on me twice, the supervisors are as ignorant and rude as the customer care reps, and they will fight you if you ask for a supervisor, not that they help anyway, they just repeat off the screen what the ccr said.
I'm going to a different company as I suggest the rest of Boost Mobiles customers do. All that and I kept losing service and connectivity, and I own a mobile electronics repair business, so i'm not ignorant to how these devices work, its just Boost Mobile, its a bad company!

Boost Mobile / Boost Worldwide phone has no coverage anymore galaxy s3

September 26, 2015 was the last time I had coverage at my home. I called Boostmobile and they had me turn off my phone turn on my phone, enter codes, take out battery then I got dissconnected, this has happened twice, then one time they told me the would give me a call back, Im still waiting(its 8/24/16), I have been with boost for 14 years and now I have been having the worst experience with them, I have called them many times, and each time it is useless, I still have problems with my phone. I only have service 10 hours of the day and the rest of time when I am at home no service at all, they cant explain what happened, I have never dropped or had any viruses on my phone, I treat my phone like a human(sic). To this day Boostmobile has not emailed me, called me or texted me about this unresolved problem.

Boost Mobile / Boost Worldwide no service in emergencies; terrible customer "support"

Reasons why I left Boost:

- Endless network issues (resulting in days-long outages) are always met with the same “we’re upgrading towers in your area” excuse; if you’ve upgraded your towers so much, shouldn’t they be flawless by now?
- The website/app makeover feels far more watered down when trying to locate/modify account information; I couldn’t even check if the promotional +2GB of data still applied to my account.
- When contacting support online, my request that they e-mail me instead of calling (because I’m at work) was always ignored.
- I recently started getting roaming warnings for little things like entering the parking garage under my office.
- 4G was a VERY rare sight to see in my phone’s status bar. Antenna was always at 0.5 out of 5, no matter how often I reset the PRL, etc.
- I didn’t enjoy visiting the physical Boost store in Farmers Branch, TX. The employees weren’t helpful in addressing my issue and they kept blasting mariachi music from a boom box on the counter.
- It took nearly FIFTEEN MINUTES to get a customer service rep on the line yesterday after meandering through an extremely frustrating web of automated menus; once I was transferred to -another- person, the new rep refused to provide me with my account number, and instead proceeded to aggressively pester me with other questions.

And the tipping point, the absolute LAST STRAW:

- My fiancé had an emergency in the middle of the night, half an hour away. He called me 17 times. How many missed calls did I have? ZERO. That was completely unacceptable, and had become a more prevalent occurrence in recent months. If i can’t be reached, what’s the point of paying for the service? With how terrible my service was since I first signed up on 1/21/2014, I know I deserve a big, fat refund.

The only UNLIMITED thing you get with Boost is PROBLEMS.

I am now a very happy T-Mobile customer and get outstanding service for the same price. Should’ve switched a long time ago and saved myself all this hassle and stress. Prepare to lose at least two more customers, Boost, because I’ll be aiding in switching my parents over soon.

I am posting this review on multiple sites while Boost refuses to even acknowledge my issues on social media.

Boost Mobile / Boost Worldwide service and treatment by owner

On april 16th I purchased a lg stylus from a boost company and signed up for the boost mobile service. I went out of town the next day 24 miles and could not use my phone. I could not even call 611 and speak to boost. I returned to the boost store on 4/18/2016 and was informed that boost was having connectivity problems in certain areas, but it was only one and I should be able to use my phone in other areas. On that same day I went to another location and could not make a call. I contacted customer service and they tried some trouble shooting and told me the situation was fixed. On friday the 22nd I went back to the same location of the 18th and was not able to make a call. I called boost tech support from another phone and talked with them over 45 mins and they could not get my phone to place calls and then they transferred me to lg without even telling me. I contacted customer service once again on saturday 4/23 and they tried to trouble shoot the phone but it did not good because I could use the phone from my location but not 15-25 miles away from my home. Once again they transferred me to lg without informing me. I called back and got someone that spoke better english and she told me that I was in luck I could go back to boost and get another phone because I was within my 7 days. I went back to boost and they told me no they only offer 5 day return policy. I called boost again and they sent me a phone so I could send my phone into lg for a warranty repair. I got the phone on tuesday april 29th and took it with me back to the boost store to get some assistance. The boost rep [later found out he was the owner of the xtreme wireless in benton harbor as well as niles michigan] told me it would do no good to send the phone back because it is not the phone it is the net work. After talking with him for awhile I have decided to go back to my previous service and while walking out the door I noted a picture of large cockroaches that they have glued on the door I jokingly made a statement that I wish you guys would get rid of these roaches! The owner said "just trying to make you feel at home". I was appalled I made a statement that I don't have roaches. I headed to my care and thought more and more about that statement. I returned to the store to ask if he really said what I thought I heard. I waited for him to finish with the white couple that had walked in just as he said that to me, and asked him is he said just to make me feel at home. He said he did but they have them at the store, I stated you really insulted me, I don't have those at my home, he tried to laugh it off but I want him and boost to know that I was offended by his demeanor and that remark.

Boost Mobile / Boost Worldwide refusal to give me a refund for service not used!

On Jan 4, 2016 my Boost Mobile bill was due. Then I saw a great ad to get (2) two new phones with another company. I called Boost Mobile and requested my account number, in order to complete the process for my NEW service with a NEW provider. I was offered a new phone if I stayed [a lesser quality phone, by the way]. I refused the offer and proceeded to change my service...ON THE SAME DAY!
I contacted Boost Mobile to request a refund for service NOT USED. I was on hold for (5) minutes to just to be told that when I began service with Boost Mobile it was in my agreement that no refunds...SERIOUSLY?
I want my money back! $37.00 dollars...Boost Mobile makes millions!

Boost Mobile / Boost Worldwide service at store on davis highway in pensacola

On 2/12/16 I ordered a Galaxy 6s and paid $699.74. I called on 2/22/16 to see if the phone came in. I was told that it hadn't came in and that they didn't know when I would receive it, and that i cant get a refund and that I would just have to wait. I requested to speak to a manager and today is the 26th of February and I still haven't heard from anyone. So I called back again today and was told that they still have not received my phone and I still cant speak to a manager> I ordered my daughters phone the day after I ordered my online and she received her pone within 5 days. How is it I can order a phone online and get it quicker than ordering it from the actual store? I would not recommend anyone going to this store and ordering anything just do it online or go to another carrier! The worst store EVER!

Boost Mobile / Boost Worldwide payment..

I made a debit card for daughter cell phone that was disconnected on 2-19-16. The automated system still says the phone number is disconnected, I've contacted Boost Mobile and my bank because boost mobile drafted 2 payments for a pre-paid account that totals 35.00.Boost mobile is telling me that I needed to contact my bank and the bank is stating I need to contact boost mobile. The customer service rep.is telling me that I have a pin code, I've never was given or set up a pin code. I just want my money back, when payment is not made in time, the service is disconnected. Why is it a pain to be reimbursed? I'm in the customer service field also and a unsatisfied is never good, the customers is top priority.

The same problem I am experiencing today. I paid my son phone bill and 2 days later they disconnect his phone and rob my account. Boost mobile say my account has insufficient funds. I called my bank and the bank representative say they paid Boost Mobile. It's been almost 3 months and they have not answered the dispute and their customer service representation is terrible. I processed a claim with the BBB. The complaint is still ongoing. TERRIBLE BUSINESS...NEVER AGAIN!

Boost Mobile / Boost Worldwide android cell phone

The android cell phone I purchased from Boost Mobile about one year ago has given me nothing but trouble. The latest happened today when I received an e-mail about six hours after it was sent. The problem is, the e-mail was from my place of employment asking me to come in to work. Not receiving this message for six hours after it was sent has put my job in jeopardy. If I would have received this message in a timely manner not only would I have had extra money, but my job would not be in jeopardy. I blame the bad service received from Boost Mobile for placing me in this positon.

Boost Mobile / Boost Worldwide netgear mobile hotspoton

On November 17, 2015, I ordered a boost mobile hotspot after a recommendation from a friend who uses boost mobile phone services. I paid for overnight delivery, and sure enough it was delivered the next day. I did not have time to activate my hotspot until November 26 at 1:36 AM. At this time I was told that I had 1.5 GB, by 10 AM the next morning I had no gigabytes. I was on the phone with boost mobile for about two hours and the conclusion that they came up with is that I can only watch one to three movies and then my 1.5 GB would be gone. So I just paid $25 for less then 10 hours of Internet. They were nice about it and they gave me $25 for December 2015 and said they fix the issue. The issue was not fixed and after being on the phone with them for two hours I had not the strength nor the wheel to talk any further with this company. I called back a week and a half later about this matter, I was greeted by a very rude foreigner who promised that someone will call me back because he escalated the phone call, and told me to put $10 on my account and that will give me an extra 2 GB. That was a lie. I waited another week and a half and I Applied the $10, where I was told they have no $10 plans to replenish. The reason I'm writing this is because I've had the worst experience with boost mobile, I have never use their phone service and wish I have never use their Internet or hotspot. Their customer care wraps are very rude and not helpful and you can barely understand them. Obviously they tell you anything to get you off the phone. I will not recommend the boost mobile hotspot to anyone or your phone service. But what I will do is take a picture of your mobile hotspot and make a post on Facebook letting everyone know what they are getting if they invest into your mobile hotspot that it is a rip off and a waste of their money. I recommend that people go with AT&T, when it comes to this Service and the way that I have been treated about my dollars I have nothing good to say about this company. Yes it is affordable but it's not good service and if I have to put a few extra dollars in to get good service and that's just what I'll do. Boost mobile you have then Voted The most sh#%tist Internet provider in all of America our hats goes off to you.

Boost Mobile / Boost Worldwide rebate on new phone

My wife and I purchase new boost phones several months ago. When we did they gave use receipts and info to submit to get a $100 rebate on each phone. After 2 months I called Booth and they told me they did not have the bar codes from the box. We did submit them and after a serious talk with the rep she called me back a couple of hours later and told me they found them and I would get my rebate in 6 weeks. I waited and received one rebate today. I called them about the other phone and they said they did not have the paper work and would have to go back to the store where I purchased them and get them to submit another rebate form. This is BS. They are committing fraud by not honoring their rebates and making people jump through hoops. I can all ready imagine what I'm going to run into when I go back to the store.

Boost Mobile / Boost Worldwide refused service while store was open 8/25/15 - very upset

On 8/25/15, at 7:46pm I telephoned the boost mobile store located at 3005 springhill ave. , ste. F in mobile, al, phone # 251.378.5913 - there was no answer or answering machine.

I frequent this location with a friend of mine and have never had a bad experience. I was almost to the location, so I decided to drive by. The stores hours were listed 7am-8pm, I arrived at 7:52pm the open sign was turned off and the door was locked. However, per the hours of operation sign, they were still open for 8 more minutes (Closing at 8pm)
.
The employees (One female and one male) were very rude in telling me they were closed. The young male employee told me he had already counted the drawer down (Before closing) and they would not be able to assist me. Then a young female then came to the door, asked if there was a problem, I explained to her my concerns.
She rudely stated that it was obvious they were closed because the open sign was off. I asked her what her name was and she told me it was none of my concern. I asked her how to file a complaint and she stated that I could google it - then laughing stated, "well, once you pay your phone bill".

There were (2) gentleman standing outside (I thought they were customers listening to my conversation with the female) , once the female made the rude comments to me, she invited the (2) gentleman inside - they were not in uniform, so they must've been friends of the employees. After she invited the gentleman inside, she turned off the store's lobby lights.

I was in my car by 7:57pm. I could have made a payment in the time it took for the rude staff to turn me away.
What was worse, my 4 year old son was with me and when we got in the car, he asked me, "mom, why was she saying ugly words to you?". All I could say to him is, "son, sometimes people say ugly things".

I want to file a report against the employees for their rude customer service and for closing the store before 8pm. It takes all of 3 minutes to pay a bill. I am very disappointed.
I'd also like to change my provider from boost if this is the type of customer service I will continue to receive. I would like an upgraded phone at a discounted rate. Right now I have the lg tribute and it has no memory and I despise it.

I had to pay my cell on the phone and instead of the usual $49.95, I was charged $51.25. I am a single mother who lives pay check to pay check and $1.30 may not be much to you, but that's a lot to me.

Please contact me asap. I do have photos of the store hours and the store location on my cell that i'd be happy to submit.

Thank you for your prompt assistance -

Boost Mobile / Boost Worldwide coupon offers

Boost mobile will occasionally offer coupons via messages. My plan is monthly unlimited voice / 5gb data. The offer was good until may 21, 2015 and it arrived when my monthly $35 plan expired (After may 13).
The offer was this : " spend $20 and get $15 free from boost mobile". Problem: if you refill online by calling #233 or 611, the automated response unit (A friendly cool man's voice) will not offer an option to use a coupon if you pay by credit card, as I did. With no option to use the promo code, similar to the pre-paid card available at retail stores (In $10, 20, 30, etc amounts) , you are essentially locked out from using this promotion. I'm waiting to hear from tech support - turnaround is within 24 hours. Meanwhile, the $20 I applied to my account will not let me use my phone until the $35 amount is fulfilled. The attempt to get the $15 credit, to bring my monthly plan amount to $35 is not possible because boost has no options for tech support or customer support to help with this coupon promo. Essentially, it's air promo and I am hoping to visit a store and get resolution. Boost mobile works hard to make customers their own self-support specialists with online help and voice automated instructions, but implementing a promo offer which has now expired, is another reason why you should not like boost mobile.
