Awesome prepaid $50/month unlimited minutes text web

Posted on: May 31st, 2009 by Crux Felder

The good: very reasonable price with no taxes or additional feesThe bad: web browser is limitedSummary: A wonderful cell service. Radio Shack sold me the i290 phone and it was so easy. Activation took 10 minutes. Great coverage...I used this phone on a recent trip through the Eastern US and never had problems. Signal was strong in the mountains, in the cities, or on the beach. Texting was easy and reliable. Best part is no contracts, no taxes, and no additional fees, just $50/month on my credit card for unlimited minutes and text. Highly recommended.

BOOSTMOBILE RAPIDLY DECLINING SERVICE AND SUPPORT and ATTITUDE

Posted on: May 2nd, 2009 by J. P Sant

The good: As of late NOTHING.The bad: Poor service. Poor customer support. Poor customer follow up. Poor quality control on handsets.Summary: WAS a customer for over 4 years. Watched quality of service and support decline. As of late here in Tucson, AZ.quality of service has been TERRIBLE. Full bars (signal strength) and repeatedly get NO SERVICE on screen. Call tech support, reset phone and it happens again and again. Constant dropped calls. Over 1 month period..Call tech support..Can NOT understand tech rep. Reset phone...Starts all over again.. Went through exchange of 3 i776's...One DOA...One would not dial out...One no display..Good quality control..Best Buy salesperson says they have quite a few complaints and returns of Boost handsets. Customer support at Boost was very, very poor. Ask to speak to a manager usually results in long waits and "accidental" hang ups...Promises to callback on follow ups..NEVER happens..I am not alone as at least 8 other boost users in Tucson are experiencing near same service issues. Lost $20.00 on error on Boost's end and ALL they would admit to was a "courtesy $ 5.00 adjustment"on my account. That was sweet! Majority of there tech rep's were less than pleasurable to deal with. Seemed like they were doing YOU a favor by talking to you.. I WAS a 4+ year STEADY PAYING customer..I KNOW there are problems with service at times, but when it was so constant that BASIC usage was not there and there was no support or for that matter THE CARE to assist, what is one to think! Bye, Bye Boost...Hope you get your act together...I moved on and have reliable service..I CAN USE MY PHONE!!! AND am not limited to the POOR selection of POOR quality handsets.. ( $299.00 for an i9. what a joke!)

What is the problem???

Posted on: April 23rd, 2009 by Toni Lyons

The good: Price, ServiceThe bad: Internet olderSummary: I don't see what the problem is. I've only had the service for a week but I already love it. I was with Virgin Mobile for over a year before and had more problems with my old service than I have so far with Boost. I contacted customer service two days after for a charge that I recived but shouldn't have and they credited me immediatly for it. And the customer service was quite plesant.

Good Service, have'nt had a problem yet...

Posted on: April 18th, 2009 by Rebecca Ashlock

The good: Cheap plans for teenagers! Especially the unlimited text, and minutes. The bad: Cost of phones are pricey! Summary: I have AT&T/Cingular. I had maxed out my 5 phone limit so I found Boost for my 14 year old. We've had the service for going on two years now. We've never had a problem with dropped calls or excessive waits for texts, and his texts come to approx 6k+ a month! I've had to deal with customer service 6-7x in the two years and have never had a problem reaching someone, with them being able to speak clear english, or be knowledgable of my problem. As with most services they tell you how long your wait is going to be. If it's a busy time and I don't want to hold 20 min I call back at a later hour. When I call back during non peak times I am on with someone in less than 5 minutes. I once called over a billing dispute and they handled it fairly and professionally and did credit the following month. For basic services this is a great service. If you expect I-phone type capabilities lightening fast, you might want to go with a larger carrier such as Cingular/Verizon.

Spare yourself and dont get boost

Posted on: April 16th, 2009 by amber bowen

The good: 3.1 mega pixel camera on my i9... it has flash tooThe bad: where do i start... text messaging is not instant, customer service dont know how to do their job (or speak english at that), i cant call certain phone companies, certain people can open my pic messagesSummary: i bought the $300 motorola i9 and now its useless because i refuse to stay with boost and no other phone company will let me keep my phone. so if you do get boost regardless of the poor reviews buy the most inexpensive phone first to make sure you like boost before you buy a nice phone.it will save you a whole lot of regret.

You pay but dont receive!!!!

Posted on: April 8th, 2009 by Jamie Evancho

The good: NONEThe bad: All and everythingSummary: I have the new i425 for a month now my wife bought 2 phones and two contracts for a total of 285 dollars. Well i can only receive text messages from people who have boost or nextel phones i call every 3 days and first i sit on hold for 15 mins then i speak w/someone who dont speak english. Then i sit on the phone with cc for an hr as they try to "fix" this problem to no aval. Then they send me to tech dept and i go through it again to no aval, till after more than an hr and a half they tell me they have to write a ticket for this problem to call back in 3 days. I have had enough i am told and as i read this company is advertising for a service that doest work but we still need to pay for something we are not getting.

Boost is not worth it

Posted on: April 2nd, 2009 by Anonymous

The good: noneThe bad: I had to pay 50.00 to activate the phone only to find out it didn't work in my area. Every call I made was dropped after a minute or two. Tech support told me that I would have to use my phone outside as the solution. Even outside the calls were dropped, not that using the phone outside was a solution. After a few hours of trying to get the service to work I gave up and asked for a refund on the phones and activation fee. Was told by CS that they wouldn't refund or take back the phone.Summary: Anybody who needs real phone service should not consider Boost.
