To find your Boost Mobile account number, you must call Boost Customer Care at (833) 502-6678. This is the only reliable method, as the account number is not displayed in the Boost Mobile app or online account portal.
How to get your Boost Mobile account number
Contact Boost Customer Care directly to request your account number. You can reach Boost Customer Care by calling (833) 502-6678. Customer Care is available every day from 8 a.m. to midnight ET. When you call, clearly state that you need your account number for finding account and PIN numbers purposes, such as transferring your service to another carrier.
What you need before you call
Before contacting Customer Care, you must have your 4-digit Security PIN ready. When contacting Customer Care, you will need your 4-digit Security PIN to verify your account. This Security PIN helps Boost Mobile keep your account secure. If you do not know your Security PIN or need to set one up, you can set up or change your Security PIN by logging into your Boost Account on the web, navigating to "Settings" then "Security," and looking under "Account security." Having this PIN ready will speed up the process of Boost Mobile services support.
Account number vs. Number Transfer PIN
The account number is distinct from your Security PIN, account password, or Number Transfer PIN (Port-Out PIN). If you are transferring your number to another carrier, you will need your Boost Mobile account number and a separate Number Transfer PIN (Port-Out PIN). You can obtain your Number Transfer PIN by calling Boost Customer Care. Do not confuse these two numbers, as both are required to complete a port-out request.
Important: don't cancel your service yet
If you plan to port your number to a new carrier, do not cancel your Boost Mobile line. Do not cancel your Boost Mobile line if you plan to port out, as the line should remain active until the number transfer is complete. Canceling your service before the port finishes can result in losing your phone number. This is a critical step when canceling mobile orders and carrier service is not the goal, you want a seamless transfer instead.
