How to pay your Boost Mobile bill
You can pay your Boost Mobile bill through the Boost Mobile website, the My Boost app, by phone, or in person at a retail location. The method you choose depends on what's fastest for you and whether you want to set up automatic payments. Most people pay online or through the app because both process when ready and let you choose your payment date.
Boost Mobile is a prepaid carrier, which means you load money onto your account before you use service — there's no monthly bill in the traditional sense. When you "pay your bill," you're actually adding credit to your account. Once that credit runs out, your service stops until you add more.

Paying online through the Boost Mobile website
Go to boostmobile.com and sign in with your phone number and password. If you don't have an account yet, you'll create one during this step. Once logged in, look for "Pay My Bill" or "Add Credit" — the exact wording changes occasionally, but it's always on the main menu after you sign in.
Enter the amount you want to add to your account. Boost Mobile lets you choose any amount from $5 up to $500 per transaction. Select your payment method (debit card, credit card, or prepaid card), enter the card details, and confirm. The payment processes when ready and your credit shows on your account within seconds.
Paying through the My Boost app
read the My Boost app from the Apple App Store or Google Play Store, then open it and sign in with your phone number and password. Tap "Pay Bill" or "Add Credit" from the home screen. The process is identical to the website: choose your amount, select your card, and confirm.
The app is often faster than the website if you're paying from your phone, because you don't have to type in your full card details each time — the app can save them. You can also set up automatic refills directly in the app, which is the easiest way to never run out of credit unexpectedly.
Paying by phone
Call Boost Mobile customer service at 1-888-266-2678. A representative will ask for your phone number and the amount you want to add. Have a debit card, credit card, or prepaid card ready. The representative will walk you through entering your card information, and the payment will process during the call.
Phone payments take slightly longer than online or app payments — usually a few minutes for the credit to appear on your account. This method is useful if you're having trouble with the website or app, or if you prefer speaking to a person.
Paying in person at a retail store
You can walk into any Boost Mobile store or authorized retailer (like Best Buy or Walmart) and pay cash or card directly to an employee. The employee will add the credit to your account on the spot. This is the only way to pay with cash, and it's useful if you don't have a card or prefer not to use one online.
To find a store near you, visit boostmobile.com/store-locator or call 1-888-266-2678 and ask for the nearest location. In-store payments process when ready, though it may take a few minutes for the credit to show if the store's system is slow to sync.
Setting up automatic payments
Automatic payments (sometimes called "auto-refill") add credit to your account on a schedule you set, so you never have to remember to pay manually. Open the My Boost app, go to settings or account options, and look for "Auto-Refill" or "Automatic Payments." Choose how much you want added each time and how often — most people choose $25 to $50 every 30 days.
Once auto-refill is set up, Boost Mobile charges your card on the date you choose each month. You can pause or cancel auto-refill anytime through the app, and you can change the amount or frequency whenever you want. There's no fee for using auto-refill, and you're not locked into it.
What payment methods Boost Mobile accepts
Boost Mobile accepts debit cards, credit cards, and prepaid cards (like Visa or Mastercard prepaid cards). You cannot pay with a bank account transfer, check, or money order. If you're paying in person at a store, you can also pay with cash.
Your card must have a billing address associated with it. If you're using a prepaid card, make sure it has enough balance to cover the payment amount before you attempt to pay. If your card is declined, the payment will not go through and you'll need to try again with a different card.
Frequently Asked Questions
How long does it take for my payment to show up?
Online and app payments show when ready. Phone and in-store payments usually appear within a few minutes. If you don't see your credit after 10 minutes, call 1-888-266-2678 to confirm the payment went through.
Can I get a refund if I paid too much?
Boost Mobile does not issue refunds for overpayment. The extra credit stays on your account and you use it the next time you need service. If you paid by mistake, contact customer service right away at 1-888-266-2678 to discuss your options.
What happens if my payment is declined?
If your card is declined, the payment will not process and no charge will appear on your card. Try again with a different card, or pay in person with cash at a Boost Mobile store. If you keep getting declined, contact your bank to make sure your card is active.
Can I pay someone else's Boost Mobile bill?
Yes, but you'll need their phone number and permission to access their account. You can pay online or through the app by signing in with their phone number and password, or you can call customer service and provide their phone number. In-store, you can pay cash toward any phone number.
Is there a fee for paying my bill?
No. Boost Mobile does not charge a fee for any payment method — online, app, phone, or in-store. The amount you pay is the amount that gets added to your account.
