I just purchased a used Boost Mobile LG G2 off ebay. Is it possible to port when I activate the LG G2 online through the website. Or would I have to call a Boost CSR. Thank You.

I tried doing it through boost's website when i switched and it didn't work. I found the boost reps. to be very helpful, I just called them saying I had bought a new phone and wanted to switch from virgin to boost. After only a few minutes they had switched things over and my boost phone fully worked before the call was over. Doing it that way there is no wait time in switching a number from one phone to another across companies, which was nice. Didn't even need to contact virgin at all for anything, which was nice too.
If you have an active account with boost you need:
Virgin can port the number with any of these as long as your boost account is active. I would imagine it would be the same going the other way. Meaning there's actually no need to even tell boost, you should just be able to port over by giving virgin a ring .
- Account Number.
- Account pin (when you call 611)
and or- The IMEI number for the phone.
I would say its always good to call and check though, because if boost knows, they can attempt to save you with loyalty or retention offers, and tell you the cost to cancel the phone.

I am porting from Virgin Mobile USA to Boost Mobile USA. Thanks for the info though.
I already got my account number from Virgin, I just emailed them for it. I heard some have a hard time getting it when they call them for it.
