Boost Mobile customer service number
For some strange reason, Boost Mobile is not listed anywhere on your online account. You have to call the company to get your 9 digit account number and you need that number to complete the account transfer.
While you are on the phone getting your account number, you also need to ask for a port out PIN. This is a code number that will tell your new carrier that you are authorized to make this transfer.
You will need to have your phone number, account number, your Boost Mobile PIN, and your port out PIN available when you make the call.
The transfer process shouldn't take to long to complete, probably not more than a half an hour, even with excessive hold times. However, if something goes wrong with any part of the process, just contact Boost Mobile's customer care center for help solving the problem.
