Side two-
Getting the Boost Premium Plan is not hard but you need to keep two things in mind....
1) you have to have a valid credit/debit card with money already availible on it.
2) YOU have to read and accept the Terms and Conditions online to get the BPP on your account. You can do this from the Wireless web on your phone or if you have a PC, you can go to boostmobile.com and access "MyAccount" agreeing to the terms there.
Your final agreement to the terms and conditions is the action that causes the 49.99 to be debitted from the Cc/Debit card and the BPP to begin for the first 30 days. This action also sets the automatic 49.99 debit and the 15.00 recharges in place, so that you will not have to worry about running out of minutes or calling in to set up payment for next month, Thirty (30) days from the day you agree to T&C's is your anniversary date....
Credit/Debit Card: we can't add a credit/debit card to an account without speaking with the card holder and verifying that they understand what and how their money is being spent...so we have ask some questions based on personal information you give up, it's a pain, but it is there to protect you the customer from any un-warranted or misunderstood charges...please bear with us.
If we can't get a set of verifying questions to ask you, and this happens a lot to our younger clients and those just starting out with a Credit/Debit card...if we can't get you through this we can't use the Cc/Dc...You will will need to get a Boost Visa Pre-paid Debit card, and the ONLY way to get this is by applying for it online. With this Boost Visa Debit card we can add it to the account without running the verification...But don't confuse this Boost Visa with other pre-paid debit cards that are availible at other outside locations, the company that supply's out Boost Visa offers the same kind of card but we still have to get a positive identity verification if it is ANY other debit card....
Don't fall for the yoke-e-doke ! Make certain you have the right kind of debit card or that you have passed a Verification of ID before laying you money out on a pre-paid debit card!
It is the customers responsibility to come up with an acceptable method of payment and down at my end of the line I don't make the rules I just have to follow 'em....
So once you have a valid Cc/Debit card in your hot little hand and we have successfully added it to your account you now have to go online from your phone or a Computer( little hint..a PC is much easier) and access "MyAccount", read the Terms & Conditions, click on all of the correct buttons and BAM the money is pulled from your card and your on the BPP for 30 days !

How much do I need on the Cc/Debit card...this depends on how much of a balance you currently have on your Boost account when you are ready to join the BPP....remember the "Low Balance Credit" minimum of $5.01....
If you have over that amount on your account you only need to have $51.00 on the Cc/Debit card.And if you have less than $5.01 you need to either add a reboost card before you accept T&C's or have and extra $15 on the Cc/Debit Card at the time of agreement of the terms and conditions,$67... Now your asking yourself why $51 or $67 and not $49.99 or $ $65...good question. It is an electronic banking thang....you need to have an extra Dollar($1) availible for the card validation process and that dollar is returned to the Cc/Debit Card after the transaction goes down...not to worry !
The trick to this whole Premium Plan is having money availible on that card when you need it....if your going to try and work the system so you only have the bare bones on the Cc/Debit card on the exact date and exact time...Good Luck with that ! The point of this is to still maintain the flexibility of the Pre-pay with the ease of a monthly payment...no silly contract AND no running out in the middle of the night to buy a Reboost card ! So keep an extra $50 on the card at all times and it will be a lot less headache...
