Is boost mobile good or bad? I have seen many bad reviews about it?
Best answer:
Boost mobile? Good or bad? Both. Depends on which one you are talking about. Good and Bad are two different things. Guess what? There are TWO different Boost mobiles.Thats right.Two.
There is the walkie talkie/sim card Boost which runs on Nextel and called Boost iden. There is the other one with no sim/no walkie talkie and runs on Sprint called Boost cdma.
Any Sprint phone will workon Boost cdma except for the Palm Pre and Samsung Instinct. But there are some hoops to go through to get your phone on.
Boost iden has had and continues to have these problems which are WELL documented and widely reported:
1)Slow unreliable texting. 2) Constantly dropped calls. 3) Calls not going through. 4) Rude and generally poor customer service.
Boost cdma has a LOT LESS of those issues. A lot less. I can talk. I've used it for 16 months and was talking to another guy from my state which hated Boost iden so much, that when he switched to Boost cdma, he was stoked.
Boost cdma has these advantages in addition to having better talk/text quality /reliability. 1) TRUE 3G web. Cdma internet is MUCH faster then iden internet. Iden is 2G. Basically, it's like a mobile versionof dsl vs . dialup. 2) You can use a huge variety of Sprint phones (without flashing) on the Boost network . This gives you access to cool phones and you pay NOTHING to get it on. If you tried to flash a phone to Metro, it both costs money and you risk bricking the phone, if the flash goes bad. 3) Customer service is very good.
It has these minuses. 1) Nobody knows about it. 2) You have to pay taxes on the plans depending on your state. 3) You have to take a number from one of the original 13 states/markets it was opened in but you know what? If they need an address from those areas, pick on at random from online. They never check . I gave them my real address. Never got anything in the mail from them in 16 months. 4) You might have to finagle things a little to get things done.
If you want to go Boost cdma, buy a used Boost cdma phone.There are only 3 models, all Motorolas. C290/W385/Krzr K1M. Call 1-877-TLK-MORE. Hit prompt at Unlimited by Boost (cdma). Hit zero 10 times if they ask you for a Boost number. Wait for a rep. Tell the rep you want to activate your phone. New phones are free ,used ones are $ 15 activation. Craigslist/ebay are two good places to find them. If you check one out, call the customer service number I told you about above and check with them to make sure that it has a CLEAN ESN number/number below batter. That will indicate that it is not stolen or lost and can still be activated with no issues. If it doesn't pass, don't buy it.
You MUST open your account with a Boost cdma phone. There is NO way around it unless you are a dealer.
Ask if you can get the $ 50 Unlimited Nationwide Everything Cdma plan. Activate your Boost cmda phone. Call back a little later.
But you know what? Right now, until Sept 4, 2009, they are doing a special promo. If you get an old used Boost cdma phone and reactivated it or put a new account on it, there is NO $ 15 activation charge and they will give you the FIRST MONTH FREE. You just have to tell them that you saw the promo code words "FREE MONTH" and ask them for the offer that goes with it. You will the $ 50 unlimited nationwide everything/ talk/text/web plan. .
Upgrade your phone to a cooler Sprint model if you want by requesting a phone swap/switch. Don't tell them it's a Sprint, just give them the esn/electronic serial number. Keep trying. It's worth it. Sometimes, some of the reps may be more helpful then others (especially getting a Sprint phone on. ) If you call 1-877-TLK-MORE rather then 611 for customer care, it will increase your chances. Their best reps are there.
Tech support? Don't call Sprint or Boost tech support.
Go to the Boost cdma forums at Howard Forums. Google that.
They have a very active Boost cdma community. They can answer many questions. Just be cool and respectful.
Original 13 markets: Alabama, Arkansas, California, Florida, Georgia, Hawaii, Louisiana, Mississippi, Nevada, North Carolina, Oklahoma, Tennessee and Texas. Give them an address from these areas if you don't happen to live there. Just give them any address you find online.
If this works out for you, please tell as many of your friends about it as you can and maybe even lend them your old Boost cdma phone to get their line started before they put that cool Sprint phone on their account. We need more Boost cdma users to keep it alive. There are still 600,000 of us bringing in Sprint some 300 million dollars a year. We count. If this was of use to you, please spread the word. It is the BEST unknown unlimited everything bargain in prepaid phone service period. Thank you!
