2nd bad Boost Infinite SIM in a Month

[wyelkins]

My Pixel 8 Pro lost calls, texts and data this morning. Wi-Fi still works. It was complicated by the fact that the Google Store fixed it 02/29. I also had a bad SIM which I replaced and got swapped to my phone number 02/19.

Confusing I know. Everything has been working great since 03/01. Today after taking it off the wireless charger (Pixel Stand 2) I noticed that mobile wasn't working. I jumped to the conclusion that the phone was still broken. I got an RMA to go through that again.

Just for giggles (I am not laughing ) I put the SIM in another phone. It doesn't work.

Now I have to call Boost Infinite (again) to SIM swap my phone number again. I still have a spare.

I'll do it tomorrow.

WTF????

I'd just switch to eSim (provided Boost allows it) unless you do a lot of SIM card swapping between devices. No point in using a physical SIM card if you don't have to and less to worry about.

This was going to my suggestion, how dare you.

Also OP, consider trying a different charger. Maybe yours is busted and frying cards. Get one from Anker on Amazon and see if it fries the card.
If it doesn't, it's the current charger. If it does then there's something wrong with your phone or you're getting a bad batch of SIM cards.

It's hands down Boost Infinite. I've also had two bad SIMs from them in a row, I believe I posted about this back on your previous post as well. Funny enough, I'm on Boost Mobile now and it's working great, no issues.

Got to give Boost an attaboy! Helped my neighbor switch from Straight Talk to Boost today. He had ordered a physical SIM for his pixel 6a last week. It arrived yesterday.

We called Boost on his phone without removing the Straight Talk SIM. The customer service lady was trained and courteous. She said she could call Straight Talk to transfer the phone number.

This went smoothly and fast. The account number and pin were given without issue. At the appropriate time we installed the Boost Mobile SIM. She called us on my phone number while the process happened.

It transferred quickly and he is now on Boost (AT&T). Straight Talk (Verizon) had gotten crappy in Clyo GA recently and I have tried to get him to switch for a while.

It's even cheaper too. Good job Boost!!!
