    Have you contacted boost?

    I would contact Boost, you've paid for the service. Does the boost SIM work in other phones apart from the new pixel U got? Maybe try a different SIM n see if it is the SIM card/Providor specifically or the phone that's causing the issues.

  • Yes tried contacting boost not getting anywhere with that
    I will try a different sim company when i can get one

    Reset apn settings and restart the phone if that don't work factory reset everything

  • Tried carrier settings all appear as they should
    Tried an optus sim still no go
    Im stumped

  • I suspect it's a brand new phone (not refurbished / second hand - where people can block the device)?
    Best to call Boost support

  • Maybe the phone is actually locked? Or from overseas

  • Did you manage to figure it out? I'm planning on buying this phone too and have a boost mobile sim

    • I have pixel 5 with a boost sim working fine. I suspect th OP's phone is locked.

  • Sounds like your phone is IMEI locked if you didn't buy it from a store or online store. Try looking up the IMEI which can be found in settings—system—about.
