  5. [R1] Boost Mobile 1/5 · US Utilities: Very hard to access internet, mostly one bar , almost impossible to maintain a coherent access.
  6. [R7] Boost Mobile 1/5 · US This company is a scam: I just paid my bill and not even 3 days later I get a message saying that I used all my data. The guy Jose that works at the Howard store has been ignoring my questions about the services given. This company NEEDS to meet their customers needs and stop being so selective with who they help and be two-faced when conducting business.
  7. [R12] Boost Mobile 3/5 · US Annoyed: Been with yall for some Yrs only cause it’s really cheap but why does my phone gotta be messed up??? Bought a new iPhone an can barely talk on it Cause “EVERY ONE SAYS THEY CANT HEAR ME & I KEEP GOING IN &OUT”. Swear yall gotta do better fr.
  8. [R14] Boost Mobile 4/5 · US Boost: I am totally satisfied with Boost no problems I never lose connection.
  9. [R4] Boost Mobile 1/5 · US Worst phone company: They are only good when getting a new phone, paying your bill is not simple. Website is only geared to sell not to maintain. Delinquent with my refund that was over payed Not worth the stress and money, run from this company!
  10. [R6] Boost Mobile 3/5 · US Boost hasn’t been working the best: Boost has been a great app until recently when I’ve tried to pay phone bills and nothing would work which lead me to go to my local boost to pay in person. The app hasn’t worked the best for me and lead me to get my phone line suspended due to not paying but it’s not my fault nothing would happen when I tried to pay
  11. [R10] Boost Mobile 1/5 · US Payment: My payment date was on the 10th of every month, last month I paid on June 9, 2026 and this month the service was interrupted on July 8, 2026. It seems that you are stealing days from every month, and the same is true with the penalty payment ($5).
  12. [R15] Boost Mobile 3/5 · US Somewhat Affordable Wireless!: Boost isn’t cheap but it’s not as expensive as those other giant wireless phone companies. Never had a problem with their service so I’m happy!
  13. [R13] Boost Mobile 1/5 · US Disappointed: Stealing from veterans then accusing them of doing it . Talking disgusting to veterans. Lying about being a manager! The list can go on . This company is a joke
  14. [R37] Boost Mobile 5/5 · US Just Switched to Boost: We just switched from T-Mobile after they went up on our bill. The customer service with Boost is Amazing! And we are paying half the price.
  15. [R41] Boost Mobile 5/5 · US Really pleased!!!: I am greatly pleased with Boost! Need help? Really nice people to help you out!!! I will be. Referring people to Boost a no-brainer!!!!!!
  16. [R76] T-Life 1/5 · US Doesn't let me log in: I have a pre-paid account and it never lets me log in. Acts like it's going to but just never works. Another example of T-Mobile treating pre-paid users as 2nd class citizens.
  17. [R82] T-Life 1/5 · US Busted: Doesn’t even work, i login with the number and it just goes back to login page
  18. [R86] T-Life 1/5 · US Shocking how bad this is: It’s actually crazy that this big of a company can have such a horrible app. Literally nothing works you click login and it just doesn’t endless loading loop can’t login can’t change anything. I don’t even really see the point. It looks like it’s just for ad advertisement for fast food or something
  19. [R16] Boost Mobile 1/5 · US Revie: Ever time I have to pay my bill I have to update my app every month
  20. [R24] Boost Mobile 1/5 · US Too many UPDATES: I gave 1 star because every single month when I’m ready to pay, there’s always an update! It’s too much of a hassle. I really like the service, it’s unbeatable. The updates are a headache when all I’m trying to do is make a simple payment😩
  21. [R80] T-Life 1/5 · US Updates: Every single time I open the app I have to update. Every. Single. Time!
  22. [R92] T-Life 2/5 · US Constant updates?: Every time I open the app, it requires an update. The process just to sign in is too long. I do like, however, everything is in one app, but the functionality of it is not user-friendly.
  23. [R26] Boost Mobile 1/5 · US Bad service: The data is so slow, my account has several charges that I didn’t make. I just paid my bill yet it still says “service suspended, please pay.”. Supposed to have unlimited data, but they cap that at 10gigs, like come on.. switching to something reliable
  24. [R31] Boost Mobile 5/5 · US I love boost mobile: There a great service provider with affordable monthly plans.
  25. [R33] Boost Mobile 5/5 · US Great service: I love the service. And the price. I have dish so 15 a month is great and I have 3 lines
