Primary Numbers and the Fastest Way to Get Help
For Boost Mobile (United States), the main customer care phone number is 833-50-BOOST, which is 833-502-6678. This line handles account, billing, activation, device, and porting questions. If you’re calling from a Boost Mobile handset, you can also dial 611 to reach customer care without using plan minutes.
If you need to use relay services, dial 711 to connect via Telecommunications Relay Service (TRS) and ask the operator to connect you to 833-502-6678. From outside the U.S., dial your country’s international access code, then +1-833-502-6678. For web-based support, start at https://www.boostmobile.com/support or use the “My Boost” app on iOS or Android to chat, view your PIN, make payments, and manage add-ons.

Best Times to Call and How to Reach a Live Agent
Call volumes tend to spike on Mondays, lunch hours (roughly 11 a.m.–2 p.m. local time), and right after major device launches or network incidents. You’ll typically find the shortest waits early in the morning on Tuesday through Thursday. If your request isn’t urgent, avoid weekends and late afternoons when queues are longest.
To get a live agent faster, have your account details ready (see the checklist below), navigate the IVR by choosing the option closest to “account,” “billing,” or “technical support,” and, if voice prompts are offered, say “agent” clearly. If you’re routed to self-service, complete identity verification in the system first; once verified, requests to speak to a representative are escalated more quickly.
What to Prepare Before You Call (Saves 5–10 Minutes)
Boost will verify your identity before discussing account details or making changes. Having the right information on hand shortens verification and makes it easier to complete your request in one call. If you’ve forgotten your PIN, the agent can help you reset it after verifying alternate details (for example, billing ZIP or recent payment method).
- Boost phone number on the account (10 digits) and the account holder’s full name
- Your 4-digit account PIN or passcode (you can view or reset this in the My Boost app)
- IMEI of your device (15 digits; found in Settings or by dialing *#06#)
- SIM/eSIM ICCID if activation or SIM issues are involved (19–20 digits on the SIM card or in device settings)
- Recent payment details (last 4 of the card used or Re-Boost transaction ID) if discussing billing
- For number porting: your previous carrier’s account number and port-out PIN
Common Requests You Can Resolve by Phone
Plan and billing changes: Agents can explain current plan options, switch your plan on your next cycle or immediately (pro-rated charges may apply), add international calling add-ons, and set up or cancel AutoPay. If a payment failed or posted twice, call as soon as you see it; having the exact date and amount expedites adjustments.
Activation and SIM/eSIM help: If you purchased a new device or SIM kit, customer care can activate it, move your number to a new SIM, or convert to eSIM on supported phones. You’ll need the device IMEI and SIM ICCID; keep the box handy. For eSIM, the agent may text or email a QR code—open it on a separate device to scan with the phone you’re activating.
Lost or stolen phone: Ask the agent to suspend service immediately to block calls, texts, and data. If you later recover the phone, they can restore service in minutes. If you’re replacing the device, they’ll help transfer your number to a new SIM/eSIM.
Escalations, Technical Troubleshooting, and PIN/Port Security
Network or device issues: Agents can check for local outages, refresh your line on the network, and review APN settings. If calls drop or data stalls, note specific locations, timestamps, and error messages. After the agent performs a “profile update” or line reset, power-cycle the device for at least 60 seconds to re-register to the network.
Escalations: If your issue requires back-office intervention (for example, stuck port, erroneous payment, or complex provisioning), ask for a ticket number before ending the call. Keep that number and any promised callback timeframe (for example, “24–48 hours”) in your notes. If the timeline lapses, reference the ticket number on your follow-up call or in chat so the next agent can pick up where the case left off.
Security: Your 4-digit PIN is the key to your account. Never share one-time verification codes that arrive by SMS unless you’re actively verifying with a Boost agent. For port-out protection, confirm that a port-out PIN is required and kept private; if you suspect SIM swap or unauthorized access, request an immediate PIN change and account lock.
Costs, Credits, and Special Programs
Calls to 611 from a Boost Mobile line are not billed against your plan minutes. Standard charges may apply if you call from a non-Boost line. If a billing error occurred, provide the exact dollar amount, the date, and the last 4 digits of the card or the Re-Boost voucher number; many adjustments can be processed in one call once verified.
If you previously relied on Affordable Connectivity Program (ACP) discounts, note that federal ACP funding lapsed in 2024; ask an agent about current discounted plans or loyalty options available in 2025. Policies and promotions change; confirm any credits or offers while you’re on the line and request a confirmation text or email.
Alternatives to Calling: Chat, App, and Retail Stores
Live chat via the My Boost app or at https://www.boostmobile.com/support is often the quickest way to handle routine tasks like payments, plan changes, or SIM swaps. Chat also creates a written transcript you can save. For in-person help—especially when you need a physical SIM, device swap, or accessory test—use the store locator at https://stores.boostmobile.com to find the nearest authorized retailer.
Social media can be useful for basic questions, but only engage with verified Boost Mobile accounts and never share your PIN or full IMEI publicly. If a social rep needs sensitive information, they will move the conversation to a secure direct message and will still follow identity verification steps.
International and Regional Notes
If you are outside the U.S., call +1-833-502-6678. Roaming support varies by plan and destination; ask about travel add-ons several days before departure so any required features can be provisioned on your line. If your phone is eSIM-capable, a local eSIM for travel data can be a cost-effective option; customer care can confirm compatibility and precautions to avoid unintended roaming.
Different companies use the “Boost” name in other countries. For Boost Mobile Australia, go to https://boost.com.au for contact options—they operate on the Telstra network and use different support channels and policies than Boost Mobile in the United States.
Bottom Line
The quickest path to a solution is to call 833-50-BOOST (833-502-6678) or dial 611 from your Boost phone, have your 4-digit PIN, IMEI, and SIM details ready, and ask for a ticket number if your case needs escalation. For simple changes, the My Boost app and web chat are fast and leave a written trail you can reference later.
If you’re unsure which channel to use, start with chat in the app for routine requests and call for anything involving activation, porting, security, or urgent service interruptions. Keep notes of who you spoke with, the time, and any ticket IDs for smooth follow-ups.
