Boost Mobile Launches New ‘Re-Boost’ Facebook Application

First application to be launched by a U.S. mobile carrier that allows customers to add funds directly to their wireless account via Facebook

IRVINE, Calif.--()--Boost Mobile, ranked Highest in Customer Service Performance and Purchase Experience among Non-Contract Wireless Providers by J.D. Power and Associates1, is giving its customers an early holiday gift this year – the ability to add money to their Boost Mobile account using the Re-Boost® App directly through their Facebook page.

Launching today, the new “Boost Mobile Re-Boost Application” will enable a Facebook subscriber to:

  • Add money to their Boost Mobile account via Facebook.
  • Request a Re-Boost gift from their network of Facebook friends, which is asking friends for some extra funds to fuel your phone.
  • Request a Re-Boost gift by sending a customized email to a friend, which is asking one friend personally for some help.
  • Send a Re-Boost gift to a fellow Boost Mobile Facebook subscriber, since it’s better to give than to receive.
  • Review the last 10 transactions (Facebook Re-Boost requests and gifts).

The Boost Mobile Re-Boost Application can be downloaded to the Facebook subscriber’s account by entering “Boost” in the search bar and selecting the “Re-Boost” application from the search results.
