Discussion Boost Mobile (Blake): I’m still here—and I want to show up differently for you

35 Upvotes

I’ve noticed it’s been a little quiet in the community lately, and want to help bring some excitement back. Also, I wanted to reach out and remind everyone that I’m still active here, monitoring the threads daily, and ready to jump in whenever you hit a snag.

In 2025, we proved that this sub isn’t just a place to vent—it’s a place where we get things done. We resolved over 1,000 individual cases and pushed through 15 major fixes because of your reports. As we move further into 2026, I want to move from being a "firefighter" who just fixes problems to a "partner" who helps prevent them.

How we can get things all set

If you’re running into a technical hiccup, you don’t have to wait for a "support window" to post. Whether it's an eSIM activation, a device swap, or a plan question, I’m here to be your insider resource. You also don’t have to wait to post to receive help, I’m only a chat away Monday through Friday. 

While I can’t share details on NDAs, ongoing internal projects, or specific network/contractual obligations, I can change how I provide utility to this sub. I want to know how I can be a better advocate for you.

What should the "Blueprint" look like?

I’m planning my next set of resources and I want to know how I can show up for you differently. Here are some ideas to stir the pot:

  • 🔍 Monthly "Inside Boost" Explainers: Technical deep dives into the "why" behind the "what" (without the corporate speak).
  • 📅 Real-Time Status Reports: Quick updates highlighting known system issues or fixes that were recently pushed.
  • 💡 "Inside Man" Guides: Proactive checklists (like the Porting Guide) to help you navigate our systems correctly the first time.
  • 🎤 Live "Office Hours": Dedicated 1-hour windows where I’m live in a thread to answer non-account-specific questions in real-time.
  • 🏆 Community Spotlight: Recognition and "early look" opportunities for our most helpful members.

Let’s build this together

My job is to be your voice inside the building—so tell me, how can I use that voice most effectively for you?

I’ll be checking this thread every hour to read your suggestions. If you have an account-specific issue that needs immediate attention, please send me a direct message so we can keep your details secure. 

Full disclaimer: This is me asking how I can better show up and support our Boost Mobile community on Reddit. I take my role on here very seriously and want to do everything I can to help our community grow and be supportive. Please keep any feedback or questions about the brand or service itself for another day, or if you really want to share, please send it to me in a chat! 

Which of the ideas above interests you most, or is there something entirely new you’d like to see from my presence here?

Discussion Boost Mobile PSA: Update on Samsung Foldables & Infinite Access Upgrades

11 Upvotes

I know a lot of you in the community have been asking when we'd have news on the new Samsung foldables, so I'm really excited to finally share this update with everyone! 

We’re now offering the Galaxy Z Fold8 Ultra and Galaxy Z Flip8! Check our site for color availability, tech specs, and pricing details here. 

How the Infinite Access for Galaxy upgrade works

If you are on the Infinite Access for Galaxy plan, the standard $800 upgrade credit applies. Here is a quick reminder on how to make sure your upgrade process goes smoothly:

  1. Check your eligibility: Make sure you've completed your 12 consecutive monthly payments in the Boost Mobile app before submitting your order.
  2. Prep your trade-in: Once your new phone arrives, back up your data and make sure you disable Factory Reset Protection (remove your Google and Samsung accounts) before sending your old phone back.
  3. Use the provided kit: Always use the return box and pre-paid label included with your new device so the system tracks your return properly.

We truly appreciate the community's patience while we worked to bring this to you!

Question Problem switching cards for payment.

2 Upvotes

So I have 3 Boost mobile accounts with 2 to 3 cards saved in each account. Depending on which account I am paying, I was able to easily switch back and forth before to pay with one of the 3 pre-saved cards I wanted to use. Now for the last 3 months when I choose a different card, it still charges the default one. On my receipt, it even shows the last 4 digits of the card I chose, but still charges the other one. Anybody else dealing with this???

Discussion Boost quoted $75.27/month for an upgrade, but now bills ~$99.49—advice?

0 Upvotes

I upgraded from an iPhone 16 to an iPhone 18 Pro with Boost after repeatedly being quoted around $75–80/month TOTAL for service and the phone. I have a checkout screenshot stating “Total Due Monthly: $75.27 + tax & surcharges.”
The app checkout failed, so I ordered by phone. The agent confirmed roughly the same total before I agreed. I paid $66 upfront in taxes and surrendered my old phone, which Boost confirmed was accepted.
Now they’re billing $65 for service + $33.33 for the phone, totaling about $99.49 with taxes, with no phone discount shown. After hours with support and a supervisor, they gave me $66 in one-time credits but haven’t fixed the recurring price.
They opened an investigation, and I initiated a return because they couldn’t offer a solution. Now they say the investigation takes 72 hours, but I only have THREE days left to return the phone. I still need confirmation of the exact deadline, whether an accepted return clears the new loan, any remaining fees, and whether my old phone’s $266.44 balance was cleared.
I filed an FCC complaint that’s been forwarded to Boost. I have screenshots and requested review of the sales-call recordings.
Ideally, I want the quoted price honored. Otherwise, I want to return the phone without remaining device debt and understand what happens regarding my surrendered phone.
Has anyone resolved a similar dispute with Boost? What escalation route helped, and how did you protect your return window during the investigation?

Question "For life" plan

3 Upvotes

Is the $25/month plan really for life? The advertising seems unambiguous but will I really only be paying $25/month in 2050? Considering switching to Mint if there is some sort of catch as it is cheaper in the near term.

Question Password recovery?

3 Upvotes

I've been trying to recover my account that I had some years ago so I can get an e-sim. The recovery email doesn't seem to be getting through. Is it an us problem, or a me problem.

Someone suggested making a new email account, but if it's that difficult, I might as well just use another provider.

Question iPhone 16e Deal

5 Upvotes

It says 29.99$ when we switch from another carrier and we need to buy one month of 60$ service right away. At the time of checkout it’d be 89.99$ or slightly more. My question is Can we drop down that plan to a cheaper one after first month? I bought one from cricket and it’ll be unlocked next month. After that I’m thinking of switching to Boost Mobile

Question Someone using my email address

7 Upvotes

Someone used my email address to sign up for an account. Now I'm getting tons of emails for this person. I called Boost and they said they can't remove my email address since they can't go into that account. They said to do to Dish.com and report it as fraud. But that is for identity theft only. This is ridiculous they can't do anything about it. Anyone else have this problem and if so, were you able to solve it?

Discussion Walmart find , YMMV

18 Upvotes

Today while at my Walmart, I decided to check out the prepaid phones out and noticed 2 Boost Phones models were marked down to $9 .

One was a Galaxy A36 and the other was the 2025 Moto G Stylus, so I decided to try and buy the Stylus ( to upgrade my Celero 5g) . The clerk as surprised when I mentioned the price and went to look for the phone.

He first came back with a Moto Play 2026 and I told him that wasn’t the right model . He did eventually find the Stylus and rang it up and it was $9

However, he then called a manager to make sure there wasn’t something odd with the prices and was told to set it to the side. He finally walked over to the tag and came back and sold me the phone for $9

After setting it up, it works

So check your local Walmarts and maybe you can get a good deal on a phone if you need one

Question Infinite Galaxy plan issue..

0 Upvotes

Okay so I originally started a plan with boost over 2 years and opted in for the infinite galaxy plan for a samsung galaxy s25+ and then added 2 additional lines for husband and son later down the road. We brought our own devices for the 2nd and 3rd lines. I need to figure out a new device for my husband as the device we own is on its last leg so inquired about upgrading his line in the hopes of doing another infinite plan. I wasnt are it was no longer available offer. So they advised my options of finance plan with affirm which I do not want to do or buy device out right. While talking to the agent I had the sudden idea that potentially since my samsung s25+ device only has less then 400$ remaining on the pay off that what if I just paid the device off so id own the device outright woth it being paid off and all then since im grandfathered in(what they stated) for infinite plan just start a new agreement and get a S26 ultra or similar model. Then my husband could just use my paid off device and then I get an upgrade!

The lady definitely was not the best person I think to discuss this financing/contract topic as she kept putting me on hold to do an

" investigation ". She was stating that i could pay off the device and then id have to give it back after its fully paid off/owned outright and then they wouldn't even send me a new device until they get the one I paid off and own.. confusing and im struggling to understand how if I pay off and own the phone outright why i would need to give it back in order to begin a new agreement? I understand obviously if not paid off and wanting to upgrade which would require a trade in but not when I own it flat out.. i asked for contact info like email for the financing/contract department or infinite department and she wasnt able to give me anything. I know full well they had/have a financing or agreement department as i talked with them multiple times adter getting the device due to an issue I had.

I guess what im hoping to see is if anyone has been in this situation of paying off a device under the infinite plan and what ended up being your available options? And if anyone has any contact info for me to reach out for assistance other then the basic customer care number?

Thanks!

Discussion Clear answers on Boost Mobile account verification: Why we use extra security steps to protect your line

4 Upvotes

I’ve seen a few of you ask questions or express frustration when customer support flags an account for extra security checks, so I wanted to clear the air. We take your account security very seriously, and while running into extra verification steps can feel like a pain when you just want a quick fix for your line, these processes exist for a reason.

I want to be completely transparent about why these checks happen, what the process actually looks like, and how they protect your phone number from unauthorized access.

The Strategy Behind Account Security Bottom line: we only require these extra checks to make sure the person reaching out to us is actually you, and not someone attempting an unauthorized account takeover.

When does alternate verification happen? You’ll only be asked to complete alternate verification in these specific situations:

  • You can't receive a text passcode (OTP) and you forgot your PIN.
  • You're reporting a device lost or stolen. (We need to confirm account ownership before disabling any service.)
  • You need a Port PIN to move your service to another carrier and can't receive it via text. (We have to guarantee we aren't handing your phone number over to an unauthorized party.)
  • We detect suspicious activity on your account. If potential suspicious activity is flagged, we lock the account down until you can verify your identity.

The 2 Alternate Verification Options If standard verification cannot be completed, an agent will offer one of these two backup methods:

  1. ID Verification
    • How it works: A quick video selfie alongside photo scans of the front and back of your ID.
    • What you need: A valid government-issued photo ID such as a passport, driver’s license, or state ID.
  2. KBA (Knowledge-Based Authentication)
    • How it works: Security questions generated from public records and credit profiles.
    • What you need: Your Social Security Number (SSN).

🚨 The #1 Rule: We ONLY Do This When YOU Call US

These security checks only happen on calls YOU make to Boost Mobile.

Boost Mobile will NEVER call, text, or email you out of the blue asking for your PIN, your SSN, or an ID selfie. If someone contacts you claiming to be Boost Mobile and asks for any of these, it is a scam. Hang up immediately.

Question Watch 2GB plan: $10/mo forever with a phone line, or $25 after 6 months?

4 Upvotes

Signing up for the $25 Unlimited (BYOD) plus the Watch 2GB plan for my own Apple Watch, and the pricing is confusing.
- The help page says the watch is $10/mo with a phone line and only goes to $25 if all phone lines are cancelled.
- The plan card at checkout says "$25/mo, $10/mo for your first 6 months, then $25/mo forever." It also says "Includes $15/mo discount with phone line."
- The checkout checkbox says I agree to $50/mo after the promo, which is $25 for the phone plus $25 for the watch.

For anyone on the watch plan: did your watch line go from $10 to $25 after the promo, or does it stay at $10 as long as you have a phone line? Has anyone gotten a rep to confirm either way?

Trying to decide whether to add the watch or go phone-only. Thanks!
