Find answers to all of your questions

1. Ask your current provider to unlock your phone so it's eligible for activation with Boost Mobile. Learn more about unlocking.

2. If you want to bring your current number to Boost Mobile, you'll need to ask your current provider for your account number and a number transfer PIN. Your account must be active and paid in full to bring your number. Do not cancel with your current provider until after you activate with Boost Mobile.

3. Have your device IDs. To find your device ID, open the Phone app and dial *#06#. You will see a screen with your device IDs. You can use the ESN, IMEI, or MEID.

Most activations are complete within a few minutes. However, in some cases it can take up to 24 hours.

If you activated your phone at a Boost Mobile store, you’re all set! Otherwise, follow these steps to finish activating your Android phone or your iPhone on our data network after you've activated your plan online.

Most popular 4G LTE & 5G phones can be activated on our network. Make sure your phone is compatible here. 

There is no activation fee when you activate online. Boost Mobile store locations may charge an activation fee and fees may vary by location.

Wait until after you activate your Boost Mobile service to cancel your existing service. Your service must be active with your current carrier in order for them to release your phone number.
