I just called customer service why I can't activate the sim on my phone. They had no idea. He asked me my sim id. and my phone imei number. He told me to take my phone to store to swap a new sim. I told him I am busy. I don't have time. He told me every time I put the sim to a new phone. I need to call them to update their records in order to work. Now, I have to wait for a new sim to come in through regular mail. I don't think I want it any more. I am thinking to take the number to port out.
Same here.
Ordered 2 sims. Received one.
I activated sim online but all phones showed: NO SIM.
Chatted with CS and was told they will send a new sim.
Still waiting for new sims.

Being LTE, I thought the SIM is freely movable across phones. Looks like I was wrong. I had it registered with Pixel 3A and it's working there. I moved the SIM to Google Pixel. And no service. Is it that the sim supports only few devices?
I tried chat. But there's a long wait

Boost has poor CS. I opened chat and waited about 1 hour. But I was ok because I am watching movie and open chat at the same time.

Don't buy a second line add-on at checkout. They will ship only 1 in each order and amount will for second SIM will be stuck as credit on account.

I used chat to remove the auto pay option. But you have to wait on the chat window for quite a bit of time though - 20 minutes to half hour;

I assume that if you port out, the service automatically ends? Perhaps that would be more elegant

That's true. That will be never ending cycle for me then. Smilie
I used this to port out my xfinity mobile number. This is my final destination. If someone wants to use this number for their port in use, it's available. Let me know

You'd think so, wouldn't you? That your account is automatically closed/canceled and no more charges will go through because this is pre-paid service?

Here's someone who ported out and still got charged: https://slickdeals.net/forums/showpost.php?p=155173429&postcount=237

Here's someone who called to cancel and was charged: https://slickdeals.net/forums/showpost.php?p=156877273&postcount=85

If you dig through the old Boost threads, I think there are one or two more SDers who reported the same problems.

Thanks for the heads up. I guess best bet is to port out then cancel in to cancel and also record the phone call.

Can't be too safe with this crappy CS.

First sim is not active, phone showed "NO SIM"
Chatted with CS who ordered a sim replacement.
I received the sim replacement today.
Inserted sim to my unlocked iphone and activated online.
This time, phone recognized sim as boost mobile but no service.
WTH with Boost Mobile.

Look like several of us were trapped by Boost Mobile.
I logged in Boost Mobile and attempted to delete payment but was unable and received this message:

This account is currently assigned to autopay. Please add or choose a different account for autopay before deleting.
