Boost Mobile Reviews See All Boost Mobile News

The good: Cheap plans,cheap phonesThe bad: it takes about 2-3 days to get the internet.Summary: We have two and both phones took around a day to program right. Ive never waited more then 5 mins for a customer service rep. I dont see what all the whining is about. The customer service rep. even called me back to see if my phone was working properly,the same one that actually helped me orginally. Verizon,T-MO,never did that. I have the cheapest phone they had. The internet works like it did on my old Nokias from T- Mo. Slow but ok. These arent I-phones, your not getting a 5 gig 200 dollar device but I never missed a TXT or a call to my knowledge.

The good: Prepaid, no credit check, easy to sign up.The bad: Spotty service; Rude and condescending custo service; Takes a long time to get a live person. Summary: I have had all the big carriers since 1989. Been with T-Mo since 2002. I got this for my parents, as a first cell phone. Did not want to pay for a contract or hassle with signing them up.Ease of signing up, great. But that is how it is with anyone and anything, isn't it. Nice as heck when they want your money, but once signed up, then the rude, nasty people take over.Service was spotty at times. When I called on behalf of my folks (who don't know squat about phones, they are in their eighties) it took me hours to get someone. When I did they basically told me that all phones and all carriers have problems at times, so I should man up and take the pain.So based on all that I switched the parents to Virgin Mobile (who uses Sprint's network, I think). So far so good.What is it with these bargain basement companies? I checked out Metro PCS before and they got rotten reviews too. I read lots of comments saying to stay away from Metro PCS because of rude and condescending CSRs. Fast forward to 2009 and there are the same complaints.These cheese-bags must rotate from one lousy carrier to the other (and the car lots to work for some extra coin).Sorry for the bad review, but it's not our fault.

The good: No Contract...The bad: Everything else...Summary: In life, you get what you pay for. However in the case of Boost it's far from the truth. Yeah, it's 50.00 for everything...but what the hell is that good for if you can't receive or make calls. I purchased the phone 2 days ago and am completely fed up already. After purchasing the phone on the way to work, I had 3 dropped calls in the course of 15 min. Not only is there a serious problem with dropped calls/unable to make them...I've yet to receive a text message reply under 2-3 hours after being sent. I've called "Tech Support" three times total and ironically, the first two times after waiting around 15 min the call would drop. I feel completely scammed by this company and can't believe I left Alltel for them. I had Cricket when they first came to Arizona and am incredibly ashamed to admit, not only was it cheaper (Unlimited as well) but I rarely got dropped calls...and the calling area was 1/8 that of boost. I'll be canceling my service tomorrow.

The good: 50/month Unlimited Everything (phone, text, data, internet). Great Reception. The bad: Internet service on lower end phones could use some upgrading, but cannot expect top notch for what you paid. It is usable and what you would expect from a low end phone. try getting all these features for the same price from your carrier....I did not think so. SO STOP WHINING....and be realistic! Summary: If you want a phone with all the bells and whistles, and want to pay a lot...then please go elsewhere and whine!!! If you want quality service, great price, a decent phone then join the club.
