If you had an android phone with boost mobile, then you don't have to contact them by phone; you can just go online boost website with the phone's identification number and with this you will be able to activate. But if this is the first time that you are going to get a boost android plan then you need to call them and talk to a representative. This was told to me by one of their representatives. I hope this helps you.

To activate your phone its really simple just follow the instructions that come with the phone in the box. If you have any problems beyond that then just call boost to activate it but, it's super easy so you shouldn't have to.

Yes. You have to either go to a radioshack or local boost mobile store to start the phone.

I bought this phone a few months ago and I went to Boost Mobile and NO you can NOT use this phone with their service, you can only use this phone with Sprint!

should have a quick start guide with everything you need to activate it with the phone. Worst case call boost and they can talk you through it.

You can either activate it online or just by calling the phone # for virgin mobile ( I highly recommend online cause their automated system sux)

You need to unlock the phone to use it with another phone carrier. To unlock your phone you would have to call Boostmobile and tell them you would like to use your boost phone with another carrier. Make sure you tell them that you want it unlock to verify. I do believe that a certain fee is involed to do this process. After you pay the unpacking fee they will give you a code and you would apply that unlock. Afterwards you should be able to use your phone with another phone carrier. Call Boostmobile first to make sure!!!!

This phone is locked with sprint. You can ask boost if they are able to use Sprint's phones. I know that I am unable to use it for T-Mobile and that's why I no longer need it.

The phone is ready to activate, but you will need to provide a Verizon SIM. Verizon will provide one to you if you are a current or new Verizon customer. Thanks!

this is a very basic phone so yes you can get the web but with a very privitive browser no videos or graphics. And no I believe boost will only activate thier phones..I use mine with H2O and all i did was charge the phone and insert my existing sim.

I was in the same situation. I broke my phone and they wouldn't give me contract pricing. Yes, you can activate the phone, and buy a new phone at contract pricing when your current contract expires. I wasn't charged any activation fee. Hope this helps.

Doubt it. This is a GSM phone, meaning that it uses as SIM card. Boost Mobile is owned by Sprint, so they likely use the Sprint network which is not GSM.

This is a Boostmobile phone. I believe you need to buy a cell phone from tracfone.
