  2. [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

  5. [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. [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!
  11. [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.
  12. [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).

I call and they say one thing and I reassure them that my comprehension and reading s
  15. [R22] Boost Mobile 1/5 · US AWFULL!!: This is actually the worst service I've had. I don't care about about high speed, but I do need to be able to use the apps that make a living for me when the high speed runs out. Boost can't do that, the data is so slow that the apps won't even completely load. I can't work since they don't load. I paid for three months up front, but I'm actually switching BEFORE then and cutting my loss
  16. [R64] Cash App 1/5 · US Stole $300: So my boyfriend bought $300 worth of bitcoin on Cash App and whenever he contacted support for it they withdrew $241 from my bitcoin. I contacted support again after and they have no clue where that money went.
