I've been with Boost since my account was dumped there by Virgin Mobile, so a long time ago. I don't really have any issues. My phone works when I need it to.
But I woke up this morning to a text from phone number (949) 889-1435 with a validation PIN. The message didn't say what the PIN was for, so I almost marked it as spam and ignored it. Something told me not to, though, and through some searching, I found others who said this was connected to Boost and Mini Me Games being added to their accounts, without their consent.
Unlike those other people, I hadn't received any notification about Mini Me being added to my account, but it made me curious and I looked up my Boost plan. Sure enough, it had been added. I can't tell when it was added, but I definitely didn't pay for it last month.
I'm single, I don't have kids, I live alone, and there has never been anyone else on my phone plan. And I was asleep when the notification was sent. On top of that, I don't even know what Mini Me is!
I was able to remove it, but I'm angry. How many people have had this added without their knowledge and don't even realize they are paying $5/ month extra because it's on autopay? I shouldn't have to watch my account to make sure things aren't being added without my permission.
I'm posting here to hopefully make it easier for someone to find if the same thing happens to them, and also to warn people to check your accounts and see what you are being billed for. If things are added without your permission, No, it's not your imagination.
