Alex Kidman<p>New Patreon Post (Subscribers only): Telstra’s buying Boost, but what will that mean for mobile prices in 2025?</p><p><a href="https://aus.social/tags/Australia" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Australia</span></a> <a href="https://aus.social/tags/Telstra" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Telstra</span></a> <a href="https://aus.social/tags/BoostMobile" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>BoostMobile</span></a> </p><p><a href="https://www.patreon.com/posts/telstra-buys-but-117123619?utm_medium=clipboard_copy&utm_source=copyLink&utm_campaign=postshare_creator&utm_content=join_link" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://www.</span><span class="ellipsis">patreon.com/posts/telstra-buys</span><span class="invisible">-but-117123619?utm_medium=clipboard_copy&utm_source=copyLink&utm_campaign=postshare_creator&utm_content=join_link</span></a></p>
Alex Kidman<p>Quick video time, as I ponder on what Telstra buying Boost Mobile will mean for its customers, as well as the wider Australian telco scene.</p><p><a href="https://aus.social/tags/Telstra" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Telstra</span></a> <a href="https://aus.social/tags/BoostMobile" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>BoostMobile</span></a> <a href="https://aus.social/tags/Australia" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Australia</span></a> <a href="https://aus.social/tags/MVNO" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>MVNO</span></a></p><p><a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QYE3sjxw1Kg" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://www.</span><span class="ellipsis">youtube.com/watch?v=QYE3sjxw1K</span><span class="invisible">g</span></a></p>
Christian Wilkie<p>Phone update. I deleted the Google Voice app, and now I can place and receive calls/texts. I did a force stop on my phone app, started it up again, and now the microphone works. I fixed my phone by myself, after two weeks of <a href="https://zirk.us/tags/BoostMobile" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>BoostMobile</span></a> "support."</p><p>However, when I login to my Boost account online or the app, it's full of the previous number owner's personal information, and her account was suspended, so I suspect that was part of the problem.</p>
Christian Wilkie<p>New depths for <a href="https://zirk.us/tags/BoostMobile" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>BoostMobile</span></a>. Twice they lied to me today. When I called to get my account number and transfer PIN, the service staff said they couldn't give it to me without calling me on my phone (which is of course out of service, thanks to them), so I had to go to the Boost Mobile store for confirmation. Went through the whole "escalation" thing again, but this time they let slip they weren't forwarding me to Tech Support but to Retention, each time, just to make it hard for me.</p>
Christian Wilkie<p>Another phone call to <a href="https://zirk.us/tags/BoostMobile" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>BoostMobile</span></a>. The operator insisted my phone can't make/receive calls/texts because of faulty cell phone towers. I pointed out I'm calling from my wife's phone, also a Boost customer, who experiences no such troubles.</p><p>I told the operator to try calling my number and seeing what message she gets. First she called my wife's phone, then hung up on me. Called back, got tech support, he gave me the same excuse and told me to wait 24–72 hours.</p><p>Filed another BBB report.</p>
Christian Wilkie<p>Progress on my phone!</p><p>And by that, I mean no progress has been made.</p><p>I was told to wait 24 hours for my phone to reset. I waited 48 hours and nothing improved.</p><p>I called now and the support tried to insist I can't send/receive calls/texts because of an issue with the cell phone towers. Twice I demanded that she escalate the issue; instead, she opened up tickets with tech support (locked phone) and IT (can't login to <a href="https://zirk.us/tags/BoostMobile" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>BoostMobile</span></a> website).</p><p>The incompetence is thick, deep, and wide.</p>
Christian Wilkie<p>See, <a href="https://zirk.us/tags/BoostMobile" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>BoostMobile</span></a> and <a href="https://zirk.us/tags/MintMobile" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>MintMobile</span></a> were merely incompetent. They lost my phone number through incompetence, I fought them for three weeks over incompetence.</p><p><a href="https://zirk.us/tags/RealID" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>RealID</span></a> is a <a href="https://zirk.us/tags/conservative" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>conservative</span></a> conspiracy to obstruct, harass, and create criminals where there were none. All my paperwork (driver's license, social security, tax returns, military record, etc.) except my birth certificate (clerical error) list my legal name as W, so the MN DPS-DVS has decided my court order for name change is invalid.</p>
Christian Wilkie<p>Phone issues aren't improving. <a href="https://zirk.us/tags/BoostMobile" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>BoostMobile</span></a> still hasn't unlocked my phone. I'm on my fifth phone call with them and the second call facilitated by <a href="https://zirk.us/tags/MintMobile" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>MintMobile</span></a>. I haven''t had a working phone for a week. And it seems that if someone's working too long on a task (more than three minutes), Boost just cuts the call.</p><p>Update: Not this time. The second Boost operator simply hung up on us in the middle of the conversation.</p>
Christian Wilkie<p>Progress and No Progress: <a href="https://zirk.us/tags/BoostMobile" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>BoostMobile</span></a> still insists my phone is unlocked and Mint needs to activate the SIM card. <a href="https://zirk.us/tags/MintMobile" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>MintMobile</span></a> still insists Boost has locked my phone and they can't continue processing my new account. Even with both representatives on a party line, they insist this.</p><p>Boost told me it would take 48 hours to unlock my phone; it's been 72 hours, and they've asked for another day to process this request.</p><p>I fly out in three days. I need my working number for calls and to use Square.</p>
Christian Wilkie<p>Update: <a href="https://zirk.us/tags/BoostMobile" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>BoostMobile</span></a> locked my phone, but they can't find my account (to unlock it) because I transferred to Mint. <a href="https://zirk.us/tags/MintMobile" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>MintMobile</span></a> can't complete the transfer because my phone is locked.</p>
