i made a topic of how mine was stolen so i rather just get some second hand one from ebay, how safe is it? WIll boost work on any phone i get? im looking for an i830 btw.

I have a heck of a time finding places to refer customers to when it comes to replacing bad SIM's or activating the occasional handset that "fell off a truck I believe only Nextel Retail stores are stocking Boost Starter kits..a starter kit has the Sim card and a activation card worth 10.00 on the new activation...

Help me with some ideas, guy's.....I have found a website; www.pcs4less that sells them at price that is a little steep, but I would love to hear about your suggestions...Thanks, Jess

What can i do? Can someone just take it and put a nextel or boost sim card in it and its as good as new for them? I had a i860 and lost it at my school.

Can i like blacklist the handset?

Can somebody help me find a way to explain to people how to get rid of this pain in the butt subscription!
It's a nuisance, and needs to be stopped!

Thanks, Jess

I currently have the i90c and am very satisfied with it and with Boost Mobile. However, i'd like to upgrade to the newer i560. Can i carry my old number to a 64 sim that i also have, and use it on this newer phone?

i was thinking about getting the i830 boost mobile phone, but i have never seen the i830 in stores ( bestbuy, circuit city, walmart) and was wondering where else besides online i can get it. i also have a question about if this phone is worth it or not..thanks

where can i find a full phone list? theres more than the phones on boostmobile.com but i cant find a list anywhere can someone find one for me?

I am looking at a i90c on ebay, with no sim included, will a 64k work or do i have to search for a 32k. I saw the i60 thread but i wasnt sure if it was the same thing, Thnx for your help

is there an Alarm on the i285? I just got a i215 and it has no Alarm that I can see and that sucks
thanks for any answers

If I was was to purchase a nextel phone and wanted to use it on boost, would it have to be unlocked or could I just put a boost prepaid starter kit in it? Or would I be better off just buying a boost phone with sim?

Just to let you know I was thinking about the i730 😉

i was wondering if i was 2 get a boost mobile phone, would i be able 2 use the walkie talkie feauture with nextel customers/phones??? thanks

Anyone know if boost mobile has good coverage in Iowa? I din't see a map for Iowa on the site


Thanks

Im a GSM chic myself but my friend has nextel and he bought a boost phone and his Nextel SIM card won't work in the boost phone. So, we're thinking about switching out the boards on the phone. Will it work??????????????

Greetings everyone, my first time posting in the boost section. Just have a few questions..
I've been working alot (setting up fiber) in the Ashland, KY area but my current cell is thru vzw. Their service here is non existent, seriously.. sometimes my phone can't even display the time up here(?!). I was hoping to just get a prepaid phone, and the majority (read: everyone w/ a cell) uses nextel. I was thinking of getting a boost prepaid since I saw them advertised and it was rather inexpensive, like $50 or so. My question is will I be able to obtain a number local to the area I'm working or will I get stuck with a # local to my home (in Mass) that's long distance for everyone here in KY??

Also, if I find one of these phones at a walmart ...

I found this on ebay, i bought one, it was a good deal saved me $10 just passing it on to the group.

Plenty of news about prepaid lately. Funny how nobody is talking about Boosts 2-way billing policy.

Did you know Boost bills for 6 day of 2-way usage if you use it only 5 days.

Boost begins its billing time at 3:00 pm. That way if you used your 2-way only during business hours, they can charge you for an extra day a week.

Even the customer Reps. at Boost won't give you a straight answer if you ask them why they don't start billing at midnight. They hung up when I asked for a supervisor.

If you use a boost mobile as your work 2-way, you are paying an extra 20% a week.

Also: For 2 years the Text message Rates on all Boost Mobile products have been wrong. Boost claims unlimited e-mail yet charges 10 cents per page sent. Sal...

Has anyone used Boost as a laptop modem? Did you pay voice rates (i.e. 25 cents a minute) and what kind of speed did you have?

Thanks!

I live in New Hampshire and somebody told me that if I get a Boost Mobile phone up here I will be assigned a New York number so that anyone who calls me will be calling long distance. Is that true?
