How to Activate a Prepaid Boost Phone

1. Visit the official Boost Mobile activations page. The link is in the Resources section of this page.
2. Examine the different plans offered. Currently, Boost Mobile offers their monthly unlimited plan, which includes unlimited calling and text messaging and free walkie-talkie use. They also offer a daily chat and text option for unlimited nights and weekends and mobile-to-mobile, plus unlimited text messaging. Finally, Boost Mobile offers a pay-as-you-go option, which offers traditional prepaid options.
3. Click on the 'Create a New Number' option if you are not porting your old number over to the service, or click the 'Transfer Your Number' option to bring your old number over to the Boost Mobile service.
4. Fill in the three field as the top of the page. The activation number will be found on the back of your Boost Mobile prepaid phone card. The SIM card number will be located on the back on your SIM card's plastic holder, and your IMEI number is located under your phone's battery.
5. Create your account PIN and then choose your security question, which is used in case you forget your password. Click the 'Continue' key and continue filling out the personal information requested until you reach the final page. Your device will now activate in five to 10 minutes.
6. Call Customer service at 1-888-BOOST-4U (1-888-266-7848) if you would prefer to activate your device over the phone with a real person. You will still need your activation, SIM and IMEI numbers when you call customer service.
