It is activated and they start charging you monthly even if you don't use it

Only when you get a new number. If you port, it is not activated until you get the SIM in hand, which in my case is still pending. I am just planning to just drop it and move on. Already submitted a dispute with my CC as it's been 3+ weeks and no sign of SIM.

I ported a number from Boost to T-Mobile over the weekend and it was a long, arduous process that involved 4 calls and about a total of 2+ hours. Maybe if I had known the port out pin info. at the top of the post (I was not doing it because of this deal) that would have helped.

Yet another reason to hesitate activating this SIM (if/when I get it) given the hassle with porting out. Frown

Edit: I finally got the SIM yesterday after almost 3 weeks since ship confirmation date, and ported out of Visible into Boost. Fingers crossed on successfully porting out for the next deal. I don't intend to stay more than this one month.

PSA: They activate your service the same day you submit the order.

Ordered on 4/20, received mail that the sim is shipped, not received yet. Line is already active from 21st. I read above that many people have not received. Can we use an existing sim to activate a new line?

Quick update - I got the sim today, not sure where it was stuck.

I wish I had come across the post before I ported and not two days after the fact. Just came here to warn others.

Give it a few more days. You'll see several posts where people received their SIM after about 10+ days

Terrible data speed, I am not sure if I am using a different APN. spotty network.
I used the settings from https://my.boostmobile.com/suppor...activation
I never had any issue with mvno like mint, h20, cricket at my home.
any suggestions?

I never received my card after 10 days and needed to move my phone number to any provider, so I contacted Boost and asked them to cancel it. They put in a ticket for it. A couple of weeks later, I logged in and found my card was going to get charged for $26.48 for the next month of 5G service. Fortunately I deleted my card or else I wouldve had to ask them to refund my money for a service I never used (since I never got the card). My sim was activated as I had asked for a new number. Usage said zero, so it is unlikely anyone used that sim card.

TLDR: If you change your mind and dont use the service, please log into your account and DELETE your card off the Boost account, or you will be charged for the following month.

That's for data, right? I can't even get a signal or make calls.
