To ensure uninterrupted service, autopay is enabled at checkout and your data plan will automatically renew after your first month. Or you can also manually add funds to your Boost Mobile account with a valid payment method at any time via your account page.


12. How do I turn off autopay?
You can easily update your autopay logging into your account. After you log in, click on the 'Re-Boost' or 'Add Money' tab and select the link at the bottom of the page to set up automatic payments. There you will be able to update your current AutoPay settings or check the box to unenroll from AutoPay.


13. What can I do if I am having trouble with my address or credit card payment at checkout?

14. Do you need additional Customer Support?

Reach out to Boost Mobile Customer Care ( @BoostCare ) on Twitter for further questions and support. Here is the link to create a direct message to @BoostCare: https://t.co/Mgk24Ns1. Or you can reach out to Boost Mobile Support by phone: 1-833-502-6678


15. Do you want to cancel your order?

It is very difficult to cancel your order once it has been placed. If you wish to cancel your order, please reach out to Boost Mobile support at https://www.boostmobile.com/suppo...ct-us.html, by phone: 1-833-502-6678, or direct message Boost Mobile Customer Care ( @BoostCare ) on Twitter, https://t.co/Mgk24Ns13M, for further assistance.

16. Is it true BOOST mobile locks the phone even we bring Unlocked? I read somewhere in comments. If this is the case, one will be stuck with Boost. Can some expert answer this?

Your sim card will automatically activate after 3-4 days of purchase. So there is no such thing about saving it for future use.

Your comment cannot be blank.

Featured Comments

WARNING: They do NOT have Wifi calling!

That may not be a problem for you, but it is for me and unfotunatley I only found it out after porting my number over on a 3 month plan ($30 from Best Buy last month, so not as good as this deal!)
I tried boost mobile trial a second time… and idk they lock you into autopay and I couldn't remove the payment card. Then they tried charging way before the trial was up for renewal. I asked customer service through phone because their chat support never works to remove it. They assured me they did but it still showed in my account…

My advice is virtual card to be safe. Also, unless they recently changed it - your plan activates right away after purchase unless your port in.
Pretty much have to port from carrier to carrier if you always want the best deal. Have gone from Mint (3 months 10GB/month for $30), to visible ($5 for first month with referral), to something like this. Rinse repeat. Slightly annoying, but save a decent enough amount of money doing so.

Hard-capped data was this plan's only weakness outside the horrible website.

What an amazing response to Mint Mobile's recent $15/mo promotion! This is a smoking hot deal!

EDIT: Website has been updated. No 2G data after 5GB allotment.

I did this last time around with the $.99 deal for one month on their expanded network, which is service on AT&T. It was good reception in my area, no issues with their service. I was even able to obtain my account number and porting pin by calling customer service.

Would be nice if their plans didn't jump from 5GB at $15 normal price to "unlimited" for $50. Maybe 10GB at $15? Mint wins, I guess. $5 is amazing for the first 3 months, but 5GB is unfortunately too limiting in 2022.
