How does the Pay As You Go plan work?

Maintaining your account
Add money to your account whenever you need to cover your calls and any extras used. Recharge at least once every 90 days to keep your account active (after 90 days any credit balance will expire). Once you hit a zero credit balance, you have 60 days to add money and keep your service active and account open.
Adding money to your account
It's easy to recharge and stay connected. Boost Mobile has all the options for you to add money to your account, your way.
Using Auto Re-BoostSM
Once you've registered a credit/debit card or account, you can set up automatic payments. It's called Auto Re-BoostSM and it's the easiest way for you to keep your service active. You select a preferred amount that will be automatically added to your account when your balance drops below $5. Just set it up once, and you're done.
Checking your balance
Just dial #BAL (#225) from your Boost cell phone to make a free call and get your account balance instantly.
