How Can I Lower or Monitor My Boost Mobile Bill?

Introduction

If you want to save money by lowering your monthly bills, reducing your cell phone bill is a good way to begin. If you get your wireless service from Boost Mobile, you have a few different ways you can do that. You can also learn how to monitor your Boost Mobile bills so you can ensure that your spending doesn't rise too high in the future.

What You'll Need

Please note that, if you received a discount on the phone you bought through Boost Mobile, you may not be able to switch to a cheaper plan, because some of those discounts require you to stick with a particular plan. If this is the case and you want to switch to a cheaper plan, you need to fully pay off your phone first.Prepaid plans are often cheaper than post-paid plans.Put off your phone upgrade until you really need it. Though many people like to have the latest in phone technology, upgrading your phone as soon as you are able to adds a lot of money to your monthly bill. Instead, hang onto your current phone for as long as you can before upgrading.Boost Mobile offers online bill history for you to review and real-time data monitoring via the app. Using these, you can monitor your bill for excess expenses that you can cut.

Click on the "Sign In" button located in the upper right corner to sign in to your Boost Mobile account.

Go to "Settings."

If you are already enrolled in autopay, skip to step 7.

Select "Payment Method."

Click on "Enable AutoPay."

Most unlimited Boost Mobile plans will give you a $5 discount on your monthly bill if you enroll in autopay. While many wireless companies offer a discount for enrolling in both autopay and paperless billing, you only need to enroll in autopay with Boost Mobile to get the discount. Once you do, you are automatically enrolled in paperless billing.

Follow the prompts in the "Add Credit or Debit Card" section to add a card to your account that will be used to make the automatic payments.

Make sure that you always have enough money in the account to cover the automatic payment.

Select "My Lines."

Click on "Change Plans."

Click on your phone.

Select a new Boost Mobile wireless plan.

Choose a cheaper plan, one with fewer add-ons and extras.

Follow the prompts to finish switching to your new plan.

Please note that, while you can change plans if you are on the Infinite Access plan, you will not be able to switch back to it after if you change your mind, as the Infinite Access plan is no longer being offered. Also, if you have any device credits on the Infinite Access plan, you will lose them when you switch.
