Refurbished IPhone

published

Have been with boost for a year now and decided to buy a refurbished iPhone 8 from their site. Got it within 3 days (that’s pretty special as I live remote) and the phone is looking and working as new!
No scratches or anything, came in professional packaging with charger. All for $450.
Can highly recommend it!

Customer support that completely changed my view of this company

published

I moved over to Boost two phones after approximately twenty years with Vodafone. The value of the phone plan was unbeatable as was the offer of international calls. Of course this was done during the Covid19 period and when the time came to port, my phones did not port in the 24 business hour advised. I wrote in to complain as I was very disappointed. I receive a response within about half hour. The assistance I received was second to none. It had completely changed my perspective and I am incredibly happy that I did change over. Thank you to the wonderful customer support assistant, she is an absolute asset to the company. I am truly grateful for all your efforts. Both my phones have ported and they work great.

good customer service support

published

I was actually not satisfied cause I requested activation on 27th March and after 3 weeks the activation was done eventually. But big thanks to Christine and Sam . My problem was all solved perfectly and I still got 120 Gb that I thought I would not have.
I wrote a review a couple of weeks back after a delay in receiving my $150 365 day 120(80+40)gb Sim.
Obviously the covid 19 situation made things extremely difficult for Boost's
staff. I have called the landline and hold on 1 hour and then be cut off automatically. Luckily we have web connection and I am now happy as Boost do offer me a good discount. I have recommend Boost to my friends.

so far so good

published

Made email inquiry on Monday. Received reply on Thursday. Not bad.
Order prepaid SIM on Friday. Received SIM on Wednesday today.
Online Activation including number porting. 5 minutes later switching was completed. Everything is working fine
Speed test at 9.45pm, download 74Mbps, upload 22Mbps. Better than NBN FTTP 50/20 of 42Mbps/2Mbps.
Rang Vietnam, talked for 45 minutes, clear voice.
SO FAR SO GOOD.

Terrible service and no local technical support

published

Requested number port-in to Boost on 12th April and now have not outgoing/data services. Have called 3 times already and have been told the port-in team is impacted by COVID-19 and local team cannot help as they don't have expertise. It's already 10 days and I am without service.

Stay away. Can’t get a service or a refund. “Computer said NO”

published

Bought 2 sims got a message saying they can’t send them to my PO Box and can’t change address to residential because computer said no. Been waiting for a refund for almost 2 months. Now refusing to refund $480 because they say there’s no record of payment. I sent copies of receipts they sent to me and bank statements but they still refuse.
Avoid this company at all costs.

Needing Nano Blank Sim.

published

I have been with Boost since day one. I rang TWICE today and on hold for over 30 minutes both times. Both times no help. Just hang up on me...REALLY.
How rude and unprofessional.
All I want is a blank Nano Sim.
Cannot use Chat as that is not available. If you need help you have to ring them overseas. They are no help at all. I'm seriously thinking of swapping over to another service provider and talking my other 3 family members with me. What a joke Boost. No customer service whatsoever......

Best in the market for 12 mth plans. Wireless wifi as well.

Best in the market for 12 mth plans. Easy to manage and Telstra infrastructure but throttled to 100mbs. So what! Perfect for 4g wireless modems to defeat the NBN dramas. And so much less expensive.

I am a new customer switched over last Sunday March 29th, still have no connection, can't make any calls or receive calls. Have been on livechat they just tell me it's coz of the virus.I have emailed them they said they will respond within 5 days or I can contact customer support, but I can't ring anyone. I am using pocket
Wifi to write this as its my only communication. Should not have to wait four days. Would I be able to get a refund so I can look else where?

I finally got my service activated yesterday after requesting activation on Saturday 28 March. I ended up going through the Telstra call centre. I explained my situation and the telstra employee was able to directly transfer me through to a Boost rep and they activated it over the phone. If you can use someone else's phone to call Telstra that will be your best chance of resolving the problem.

Cheers...honestly I'm tired of the whole rigmarole, they should be working from home if the corona virus was a concern, sick of their excuses,extremely poor data speed, they dont even have the decency to repond to existing customers concerns, instead they duplicate every response,to me that explains what kind of company they are and their carefactor..I've got the s8 note so it's a good phone,no reason for crap data speed you were lucky too have jagged the Telstra rep.i wish you all the best!!!
