I missed a couple of data points in my main review.
The boost chip has to be left in your cell phone so Boost can call you on the phone you have your Boost number on. This is another way for Boost to screw you. If they can not reach you on the Boost phone, they, Boost will say the Boost account is not functioning and Boost will use this as an excuse not to issue the escape code. When Boost promises you they will call, Boost is lying again. You will have to go through this step a number of times until you have aggravated them to the point of not wanting to deal with you and they want you gone.
When you finally force your escape code from Boost, you have to use it immediately. Put the new carriers sim in your phone and call your new service vendor and use escae code, fake account number as fast as possible, the window may be as little as 5 minutes. Every step is designed to screw you out of more money.

Tip for consumers:
Have a list of things to cover in the complaint

Aldus Huxley would be a little smug and very disturbed over the newspeak dystopian world Boost Mobile has created. The account number you need does not exist. The generated number you need to port your phone number is a short lived computer generated code for one time use to flee their system. As of 10-1-21 you have to keep asking the chat person to give you your account number, takes 20 to 30 times till a sign in box appears. Click sign in box to go to a page that you supply your phone number, actual account number, and pin number. This generates a 6 digit number, NOT faux account number. This 6 digit number is used to generate the fake account number that is suppose to get your phone number ported. Boost gives you info backward so it is not useful. I abused the no service personnel, yelling and saying they where lying and telling them I would keep it up till I received the fake account number I needed. This took over 2 years. They offered a lower rate over 2 years ago to install an upgraded sim, Boost lied, no lower rate. I tried porting to Track phone, tried to for days, did not figure out there convoluted system. Then I tried to port to Tello, could not penetrate the system built not to be penetrated. Boost stole over $1000 in this way. The current convoluted system will be changed to make it harder to penetrate the system. I also created great anxiety in the Boost staff so they would want me out of Boost, so Boost will probably try to insulate the staff. If you are not using boost do not use them unless you are willing to walk away from the phone number you use with them. If you are trying to port away from Boost, My next step would have been to contact my US Rep and Senator. I am in a progressive state and they have good constituent services. That will not work in states where the citizen has no real recourse. If you want to use my advise on creating anxiety in the Boost personnel so they want you gone, have the company gaining your business call Boost on a 3 way call. The other phone companies get right into the Boost system and you will compress the time line and reduce your wait time. This also works to put constant irritation in the Boost people so they will want you out of Boost. Welcome to Brave New World, as Huxley predicted. The site asks me to tell you who I am. I was an electronic repairman in the service. I have an undergraduate accounting degree and MBA, Practiced for 18 years. Have done thousands of tax returns and compliance information. I taught myself 7 trades to operate my print shop for over 2 decades. I currently operate a very slow, pandemic economy, antique store. My proof of purchase are credit card entries that I do not know how to get a picture of into this computer. I do not use a computer for antique store, thus those skills have deteriorated since the print shop has been closed

I ordered 12 items from Wish 2 months ago. I have not received any of the items. The POST Office in my town never got any of the item. Wish never shipped any of the items. Wish is a scam
