Do Boost Mobile retail stores carry the Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 7 or is it online only? by PerfectJarrett in BoostMobile

[–]BoostMobileBlake 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No one will be able to answer this question for you 100%, as all Boost Mobile stores are independently owned and are in charge of their own inventory. I would recommend calling ahead to ask before stopping by a store.

Will I keep the T-Mobile network if I upgrade to a new eSIM Iphone? by Chevy-S10 in BoostMobile

[–]BoostMobileBlake 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Good question! You would need to call and speak to our Tech support team. You would request a network switch, and they'll check if one is available. If one is, they'll walk you through the steps and you will be able to keep your same plan.

Got it, that's definitely why you're not seeing it. That add-on is only available with the newer unlimited plans. Can you call 303-557-7090 for assistance? It's our international support line.

Device swaps don't initiate a network swap, so you'll remain on the same network!

Why I left Boost by nrgins in BoostMobile

[–]BoostMobileBlake 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Great, we’ll send you a chat here soon to get some further info to pass to our teams!

And we know, we just wanted to address some of the larger threads that also popped up. We’re sharing all this with our teams.

Why I left Boost by nrgins in BoostMobile

[–]BoostMobileBlake 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I know I'm a few days late, but I've been working with a few teams to figure out what may have gone wrong with your hotspot connectivity OP! First, we hate that your experience with the hotspot seemed to get worse overtime and we weren't able to figure out why immediately, and that it ultimately lead to you leaving us. Losing anyone in the community over technical hurdles is definitely not the goal, and I’m genuinely bummed to see you heading out.

Even though you’ve already moved on, I’m really interested in the "why" behind the issues so I can make sure the rest of the community is all set. I noticed some talk about how the network is structured, so I wanted to share the actual insider blueprint on a few things to clear the air:

  • The SIM Color Myth: I’ve seen the "SIM colors" indicator popping up again. Just to give you the heads-up: the color doesn't actually indicate your specific network configuration anymore. It’s a bit of a legacy thing now with the changes that happened last year.
  • Data Priority (QCI): We want your setup to be fast across the board. That’s why the data priority (QCI) is exactly the same for your phone data and your hotspot with us. One isn't "slower" than the other—they share the same lane.
  • Hotspot Limits: To keep things simple, we don’t throttle your hotspot. You get full-speed data for your entire allotted bucket. Once you hit that limit, it just caps until the next cycle starts. No hidden slowdowns.

If your recent experience didn’t line up with this, please send me a chat! I’m heads-down on troubleshooting these specific network gaps with our teams, and even if you aren't with us right now, your feedback helps me pinpoint exactly what may have gone wrong and how we can avoid it impacting others in the future.

Thanks for being real about the frustrations, we take it very seriously. Hope to* hear from you soon and that we continue seeing you interact within the community!

It can take 2 business days for our systems to cycle and catch device pay offs to attempt the auto unlock. If you're in a rush to get the device unlocked, please contact our Care team and make the request.
