I'm having a terrible time with my service My phone keeps cutting out people cannot hear me Very frustrating.
I had a terrible start by signing up with boost Mobile. First of all they sent me a Sim card to the wrong address. So I had to wait over two weeks for the card. Then I had to go through my other carrier once again to get a transfer pin number. I had one, but it took too long for the Sims card to come. I’ve spent a lot of time and five different phone calls trying to become a boot member. When the billing came, it said I owed $10 more than I should’ve. They informed me that it’ll all be OK but it has to look like that at first. We haven’t been boost members for very long. But My Husband just had a drop call and not too happy about it. I hope that this is just a glitch in signing up and not a permanent thing. Seems like I’m having issues with the talk and text, but I signed up later than My Husband waiting on the Sim card. So we’ll see what happens from here.

My experience with Boost Mobile has been good with its mobile services. The cellular data isn't the most reliable, & my ongoing phone calls may sound a little muffled ( depending on the area, mostly. ). Overall, though, my phone service runs pretty well, especially for the price that I'm paying for it.
Excellent service I hookup the phone for my sister so she can have it to use while she here and call back home
