I will be porting over from sprint on the 22nd Oct.

If someone has a referral, pm it to me... I GUARANTEE to be using it. On the 22nd.

I get some $$ and you get $$

Thanks in advance, I will update this post when I get a code in my inbox.

) ps--- is there a way to check referral codes if they are all used up on the website?

You can't use a code if you're going from Sprint to Boost Mobile. This is a migration. They won't allow you to use that code because it's not a regular port-in a person can do through the portal. Boost Mobile is the same company as Sprint, We're the prepaid division.

P.S There is no way to check if a referral code has been all used up until you put it in at time of activation. The catch is they only allow you 4 tries before saying "Maximum attempts achieved" or something along that lines.

@septmeber, are you certain on no referal? Confirmed?

I am a confirmed manager of a Boost Mobile/Virgin Mobile store.
I am sure that they won't allow it, We can't even do these migrations on our portal. We have to call a special migration department line to do the number transfer.
Also, When we had that free phone give away we couldn't give them to anyone who was migrating from Sprint, Unless they agreed to get a new number.
Sorry about that. Wish it wasn't that way.

You are still eligible to receive your own referral code though.
 
Hi September. I was wondering. Since Boost is phasing out the Prevail. How much would it cost to buy say 50 of them? Dealer cost or what ever.

That would solely depend on your supplier. Our supplier is VHA (Vincent Huang and Associates). I want to say each phone will go for around $40 - $50. I think that price does decrease the more you get.

To get the discount on the phones though, You've got to be a registered dealer and have a supplier.

Can I do anything to get Boost to send me a referral code? I think I'm eligible to receive one. Ported from Verizon, used a referral code at sign-up, all 7 payments have been on time.

Inbox me your information. Phone number, pin number.
I'll see if I can get them to possibly get one sent/assigned to your number.

I used this referral code twice today. The Boost Activation page confirmed that the code was valid each time. Thanks, Philly400! I'll post my referral codes as soon as I receive them

Expired as of 05/20/12.

Thank you very much. I just find it odd that it expired 4 months before they sent it to me! I still have the text on my phone, received Sept 20 2012. I wonder if somehow they messed up. Well time for me to try and figure this out! I would really like to help someone out there, as well as myself in the process.
 
Not sure how this really works, but since activation didn't work I'm talking to customer service now.... said I need their help to get my phone activated AND use my referral code!!!
 
Tried to use the code... we'll see if it works out. Had to send them an email since my card only had 10 digits. Hopefully it works... it would be bad to not get the credit because my boost card had 4 less digits than others.....
 
I haven't gotten any referral codes yet, so I emailed Boost and this was there response:

"We apologize for the inconvenience. Your account is not targeted to join the promotion. During this program, we will continually be checking for customers that have qualified. Boost regularly runs promotions and you may be included in future promotions."

I thought all customers who made 2 on time payments were part of the promotion. Today, I made my 6th on time payment.

They've said they that it's likely everyone will receive one within a 12 month period.

This system is such a mess in my opinion.....

Does this apply for Virgin Mobile to Boost Mobile as well???

Thanks, I guess I'll be patient for now. Yeah, that's a bit of a mess considering the website makes it sound like everyone is eligible after 2 months.

And if someone (me) specifically asks for a referral code, that person (me) must want to refer someone. It's like passing up an eager person, and passing them out to people that might not even care.

Actually, That's a good question because technically VM to BM is still considered a regular port-in. It takes time to process on both sides unlike migrations which are instant because you're just moving the line over the network.

I'll look more into this. Thanks!
