Having troubling activating the sim you received? 2 Activation messages people are running into:
1. "Incompatible device": This means your phone is not compatible with Boost and or AT&T's network. You will need a phone from the PDF list above to get back to compatible status.
2. "Something went wrong with your request. Please try again later": Boost may have accidentally sent you a bad sim and there are 2 ways to fix that: 1. Go to a local Boost Mobile store and ask a rep to assist in activation or just ask for a new sim. 2. Ask Boost CS for a new one but it may or may not get to you soon.
3. Some people are reporting going to this website:
Code:
http://my.boostmobile.com
User Aokusman reports receiving a Black(AT&T) sim and it took about an hour to activate but after he got around 230 Megs per second.
Having trouble activating your phone's data on Boost AT&T? I did too until I put this APN in my phone(YMMV):
Name: AT&T
APN: ERESELLER

Port: Not set
Username: Not set
Password: Not set
Server: Not set
MMSC: http://mmsc.mobile.att

AT&T Network status:
5G+: MmWave which is AT&T's lightning fast 5G network, is live and available in select cities and in select areas.(5G Phone/5G Sim required)
5G: Also known as LTE+NR NSA, this tech is when a carrier pairs LTE and 5G Non Stand alone tech together to keep speeds high when MmWave is not available. 5G Standalone(SA) does not need LTE to work. (5G Phone/5G Sim required)
5Ge/4G LTE: What's the difference between 5Ge and 4G LTE? not much really other than 5Ge means your area may have been upgraded with newer tech/higher speeds on LTE via Carrier Aggregation(CA).
4G HSPA+: This network is being shutdown, will no longer be available starting August 1st, 2022.
3G HSDPA/HSUPA: This network is being shutdown, will no longer be available starting August 1st, 2022.
2G/GPRS/GSM: This network is shut down and no longer exists.
Have a phone that is no longer AT&T Compliant? Take it to T-Mobile or ask Boost and see if you can get a "Boost T-Mobile sim".
*Note: Boost may have additional requirements for phone compatibility, AT&T compatibility list may update at any time. Xiaomi devices are now banned from AT&T(did not meet AT&T certification requirements), select Huawei/ZTE devices still allowed. Tablets may not be supported, check with Boost first weather a tablet will work with this plan or not.
