How to Enable a Boost Mobile Re-boost Card That's Disabled
When your Boost Mobile phone runs out of minutes, adding more minutes to your card or cell phone plan is referred to as a re-boost by Boost Mobile. When the card runs out of minutes it becomes disabled. You can enable the card by adding minutes, which you can accomplish online, in person or by phone. You need to the card to re-boost because it contains a 14-digit PIN that you'll have to enter.

Tips & Warnings
You can set up recharging online or by phone so that your re-boost card is automatically enabled on a consistent basis.
The online re-boost option also allows you to register a specific credit card or debit card. The Boost Mobile system saves this information so that you do not have to enter the information every time you need to re-boost your card.
You can also re-boost other people's cards, such as the cards of family members or friends. This is similar to giving a gift card, but instead of giving a gift card to a store for shopping, you add minutes to their cell phone plans.
