You need to call the boost customer service at 833-502-6678 and request for the port out PIN. Question for you - for the google fi deals how long do the phones remain locked?
They come unlocked.

Check "ims registration status"

under

about phone->status info->sim card status

If it says not registered, that's the issue

Good question. I don't know and I don't see any place to enable it separately. Data/text is working

I have seen it, it's the volte (voice over lte) provision issue, only affects voice, data/text would be fine. Probably can hassle to make it work, but I would just get a new cheapo boost phone instead

I just got charged by boost mobile for $25.67 and I haven't even activated the sim yet WTF???

EDIT: the website link where you order the $0.99 trial sim even says service doesn't start until you activate. My SIM card is still in the original package. This company is SHADY AF.

I bought this sim when last time this deal came and didn't activated the device as I didn't need it immediately but they are charging me recurring every month and when I call their support they say we don't have your data.
Don't bother to buy it.
This is exactly what just happened to me. Was charged $25.67 today. What did you have to do to get your refund?

I didn't need it immediately either so I didn't activate yet, and you can bet I'll never try boost again in the future. My sim is still in its original package unused.

If you read previous messages, your SIM is activated immediately by Boost (unless you are doing a port-in). So your service begins without you having to insert your SIM. This leads to some having much less than the 30 days of service on their 99cent month

EDIT: MarkD5170 has good advice in post #207 for those who don;t plan to use their account after 30 days and that is to delete your CC info from your account.

Ordered sim on Thursday morning. 30 hours later had the phone number in the app. Received sim today Monday. It was postmarked the same day I ordered.
I'm near Chicago and sim shipped from Plainfield, Indiana

Seems like they have gotten their act together.

Good for you! Mine came 3 weeks after ship confirmation. And not sure if Boost thought it was lost when I checked earlier, now I have one more SIM in my possession. Curious if I should activate it and see if I can get a new number and make use of another eligible number to port.

Thanks for the info, but the glaring problem here is there's no mention of the sim coming pre-activated anywhere on the website where you sign up, nor does Boost mention it in their welcome email. The other email they sent regarding how to activate specifically states that if you did not activate at a Boost store, to follow instructions to do so. The package you receive in the mail from them doesn't mention the pre activation either. It included instructions on how to activate.

I appreciate your comment, but I'm just saying people shouldn't be required to follow a slickdeals thread for this kind of information after their purchases. Boost Mobile wasn't upfront with it on their order page, so it's a pretty shady business practice. If I had removed my billing info then the pre activated service would have expired without me using it anyways, so it's not like I would have later gotten the deal promised in the first place. I hate companies that pull this kind of BS.

How many people these days are sitting around with zero service ready to activate immediately the moment they order? All other carriers give you at least a reasonable amount of time to activate an ordered sim. It's not like I walked into their store.

Good point. I agree Boost should be more upfront on when the SIM is activated.
