Do I have to purchase Boost Protect to activate wireless service or purchase a phone?

No. The Boost Protect program is optional and not required to activate your service or purchase a device.

Do I have to purchase both the service contract and the insurance policy portion of Boost Protect?

You'll get the most coverage if you purchase both, but you can also purchase accidental damage and malfunction only (service contract) or loss and theft only (insurance policy). To see the pricing for these plans, visit myphoneguardian.com/boostmobile. Please call Boost Mobile Customer Care to purchase the individual plans.

When is Boost Protect effective?

Your device protection will be effective from the date you opt into the program and provide payment for the monthly charge.

How do I file a claim?

Visit myphoneguardian.com/boostmobile 24 hours a day, 7 days a week to file a claim with Likewize Device Protection (see provider information in brochure). You may also call 844-534-3099 from 6 a.m. –10 p.m. CT, 7 days a week.

You should be the primary account holder on the account and report a lost or stolen claim within 60 days of the loss, unless otherwise required by state law.

If you receive a replacement for an approved damage or malfunction claim, you will be provided with detailed information on how to return the damaged phone. If the phone is not returned within 10 days after receiving your replacement, you will be charged an unrecovered equipment fee up to the MSRP of your phone at enrollment.

How long does it take to get a repair or replacement phone once I file a claim?

Once your claim is approved, you have provided any necessary documentation, and have paid your deductible, you will be provided with convenient repair options based on your phone, location and the type of damage. Repairs can be completed as soon as the next business day. If your phone was lost, stolen or unrepairable, a replacement phone will be shipped to an address of your choice. Replacement phones are shipped to arrive on the 2nd business day.

What happens to Boost Protect if my service is interrupted?

Your device protection will be placed on a hold until your account is either paid fully or canceled. Device protection will not take effect again until the next fully paid billing cycle.

How do I cancel Boost Protect?

You may cancel your device protection at any time, but please note the enrollment eligibility to be able to add protection again. Give us a call at 833-50-BOOST (833-502-6678) for assistance.

 

Other Restrictions

 

You must be on an eligible plan. If you change phone plans to an ineligible one, you forfeit your device protection. If you switch back to an eligible plan with the same device, you must meet the following criteria to add protection:

  • If it's been less than 30 days since the phone was activated for the first time, device protection can be added.

  • If it's been more than 30 days since the phone was activated for the first time, device cannot be added.

  • If the phone was lost, stolen, or damaged while on an ineligible plan, a claim will be denied.

Is there anything else I should know about Boost Protect?

Yes. You are not required to purchase Boost Protect to activate wireless service. Boost Protect is a combination of an Insurance Policy and a Service Contract. The Insurance Policy covers loss and theft. The Service Contract covers Accidental Damage from Handling and Mechanical and Electrical Failure. You may also purchase these options separately. The insurance policy coverage may provide a duplicate of other sources of coverage. For more details, visit myphoneguardian.com/boostmobile.
