Tech Support is incompetant
The support is horrible! My wife's phone was set up and working within an hour of starting the service including porting over her phone number from Consumer Cellular. My phone did not work even though Boost said it was compatible to their system. I spoke with over 15 tech support people over two weeks. There were inconsistencies in how to fix the problem. For example, one told me to go to a Boost Mobile store and get a new sim card. She said the IMEI number was wrong and it couldn't be changed. When I got to the store they said they do not have any Boost Infinite sim cards. I called back and they sent me a new sim card. It did not fix the problem. I was also told that the IMEI could be changed. This used up five days. On one call the tech person said she identified the problem and could fix it but she needed me to tell her the date and amount of my last payment as a security question. I said I had not made a payment yet because we had just opened the account. I asked if there was another security question she could ask me and she said no. I was able to open a chat on the Boost website and get the information that included the balance due and that there was no payment yet. (To get this information I provided security information the tech person already had.) When I tried to tell her the information she had ended the call. This call had taken 90 minutes. There are many other examples of this incompetence. Of the 15 tech people, only 2 could speak English as a first language. The rest struggled with understanding questions, did not answer questions when they finally understood them, and overall did not know what they were doing except for a few basic processes. At the end of the frustration I was told that I needed to buy a new phone. I got one on Amazon and it seems to be working OK. If you go with Boost Infinite be prepared for a lot of frustration if you have any issues outside of basic setup.
