A big thumbs down! Boost Mobile SUCKS!

Do you even feel like you flush $$ down the toilet? I did that a few months ago when I got a Boost Mobile phone. Boost purchases old phones that are past their warranty and they are just a piece of crap!! I got my phone a few months ago and had troubles from the get-go. No help from Boost, so I had to send it back to the manufacturer. Piece of dung phone...too bad, so sad! Boost SUCKS! Motorola i465 Clutch SUCKS! Boost Mobile is supposed to have a big fancy ad during the Super Bowl tomorrow (a take off of the Super Bowl shuffle) and I hope it is bad and that no one gets their service! I am just thankful I wasn't in a contract with Boost!!!

Anonymous, March 22, 2010 8:51 PM: I'll have to disagree. I switched from T-mobile to Boost and am happy with their service. Of course, I won't have access in many of the out of the way places I had service with a big name carrier, but the bottom line is

$50 a month for unlimited minutes, unlimited text, unlimited web + $5 sales tax

vs

$69 a month for 400 minutes, no text, no web, about $20 in assorted federal and state service charges and state tax.

That's a no brainer.

It's performance has always been poor for texting, and isn't that the reason for buying a qwerty phone? I'm going to try to unlock hers and use it with another carrier.
BoostBoots, May 6, 2010 8:12 AM: well i damn sure dont work for boost but i think their service is great. when some of my friends complain that they dont have minutes..i laugh because my phone is unlimited..ive been a customer for the past 2 years even before they got unlimited service and yes during the pre-unlimited era i hated the company but they are improving little by little..they even have better phones now..by the way that pic of you makes u look about 60 years old
Diana - FreeStyleMama, May 6, 2010 9:19 AM: BoostBoots~ Your comment makes you look like an idiot!
Jyo, July 4, 2010 12:03 PM: I wish I'd seen this a month ago. I bought a Clutch from Boost Mobile during a family emergency (mom in the hospital) to share news and updates in an area where my usual phone wasn't getting good service.

The phone itself is awkward and ugly, but the 'service' I got from Boost Mobile was FAR worse.

I wouldn't recommend them to anyone.
jss, December 17, 2010 8:23 PM: Boost Mobile defrauded my girlfriend out of $50.

She bought a phone at a retail outlet and paid $50 for a month of service, based on looking at Boost's online coverage map -- which indicated that Boost had "good" coverage where she lives.

We brought the phone home -- no service. There's service maybe a quarter of a mile away ... sorry, that doesn't cut it. We returned the phone (no problem) but the $50 was in Boost's hands. We called and were promised a refund. We got the runaround after that, for days. This is now months later. The Better Business Bureau couldn't get it out of them. The MA attorney general's office is pretty sympathetic but won't go to court for $50.

This is fraud, textbook definition. Boost stole $50 from my girlfriend.

Went crazy trying to get it switched online or using their endless phone tree that leads to no C/S rep was maddening. If you get a C/S rep they are unable to speak with the payment rep. Now I am being told they I cant get the auto pay set up until 1/28/10, when my new bill cycle is due ???. Talk about stupid.
Anonymous, November 1, 2011 9:14 AM: Yep Boost custo,er service sucks, there phone service sucks, and if you are lucky enough to tal to a human they are in a foregin company. When they are tired of you calling to correct the problem, they place you on hold and block your number...wonderful company.
I wonder how much money the us govt gives to these shit heads.
TruthbeTold, December 9, 2011 2:30 AM: Not a Boost Employee here. Boost is owned by sprint, and sprint coverage is up there with the rest of them. Consumer Reports for 2011 named Sprint the best overall. Boost Mobile, owned by sprint, has by far the best plan. Its actually 53 a month and 15 months later it will be 35 a month if you pay on time.. I will pay 35 month unlimited everything while some other chumps are paying 80+ for LIMITED.. I am saving $500 a year... And what would happen if I dropped a call? OH DEAR GOD, I WILL CALL THEM RIGHT BACK 1 SECOND LATER... Every single company on the net has a rant, it comes down to price, and this is a BEATING on the others.
Diana - FreeStyleMama, December 9, 2011 7:43 AM: Thanks Jim (TruthbeTold)...Maybe they have a great price, but my rant is about the piece of CRAP phone!
Anonymous, January 12, 2012 3:37 PM: I have the same phone and the same service, and I couldn't agree more. I came here after a google search trying to find someone who felt the same. Disappearing texts, delayed texts, rings only a few times ALWAYS calling friends back! international calls out of sight $$$, it's a pay-as-you-go nightmare!
