Yep just happened to me, you will have to call boost customer service and have them turn it on, mine was working 5 mins after I got off the phone with them...........
This is the way I got thru to a actual person:
Their system recognizes the # you are calling from. Select the 2nd option as though you're calling about a different #, and when prompted to enter 10 digit # enter 10 zero's, it will repeat your number again but push zeros again

Tried that..it ended up hanging up on me..you know what the weird thing is? I hit my data cap about a week ago, and have had crappy speeds like 25 kbps tops..after I changes my number, I have been getting 2.50 mbps on a constant since the number change about 8 hours ago.could they have reset my throttle when they changed my #? If so I might just have to change my number once a month..lol

Call the number that is in the guide to get to a person. Like Doc said, Boost needs to reset your voicemail up.

Glad to see you got it up and working. You changed your number 5 times?! I ported my number from Alltel and have had the same number ever since. Were you getting too many calls from an ex-girlfriend? lol

That bites, scam artists and identity thieves suck. I never apply to those and tend not to give out my number to people I don't know, for the rest (random SMS caster ad's and the like) I have Extreme Call blocker. It filters the calls and texts and MMS. If the number isn't on my contact list, it doesn't get through.

It used to be a good thing if someone was accredited through the bbb but these days you can actually pay to be "accredited"

Go To Settings, About Phone, System Updates And Update The Prl And Firmware, once it updates. reboot the phone and u should be gud. The phone locks ur old number until u do this......

He already got it fixed. Also, PRL and Firmware updates don't affect that. The provisioning/profile update does. If you notice that he stated that incoming calls were having the issue also, and that would make it a problem on Boost's side anyways and not the phone.
