Activation Tips
If you are bringing your phone to Boost, make sure you do the following prior to starting the activation process:
- Ask your current provider to unlock your phone so it is eligible for activation with Boost. (For more info on opening, visit boostmobile.com/byo)
- If you want to bring your current number to Boost, you must also ask your current provider for your account number and a number transfer PIN. (Also, your account must be active and paid in full to bring your number.) Do not cancel with your current provider until after you activate with Boost.
- Find your IMEI number: iOS: Settings > General > About Android: Settings > About Phone | or dial *#060#
