Made the mistake of buying a boost mobile sim this year. It was “expired” upon opening it. Retailer refused to refund it.

Having not learned my lesson yet, I went elsewhere and ripped it open to check the expiration date this time before I bought it.

Well “it’s prepaid for 90 days and comes with 35 gigs” it says on the card.

Go to activate it, it puts a further $100 on my credit card and congratulates me for activating my 30 gig service plan.

Hokey frauds.

Be glad you weren’t on Ting.

What crap did Ting pull on you?

Their aggressive data throttling always rubbed me the wrong way, along with the Extreme data pricing, considering it was on Sprint's terrible network.
