Our **************** went out at 6 AM on Saturday morning. BOIP is open on Saturdays. They also have two cell phone numbers that they have communicated with us on and their landline phones. However, nobody answers of these extensions. I alerted them of the outage at 7:30 AM on Saturday morning. My neighbors did as well. We received no communicationuntil Sunday. The only communication we have received is through text message and it has been shotty and has not resolved anything. They are passive aggressive anddo not attempt to give resolutions. They sent me an image of a damaged fiber line as the reasoning for why they could not communicate withme and why I did not have service. I found the same image on a different broadband Internet, ******** page. I called that customer service line and received an answer immediately. Their had been damaged on Saturday morning and customers were out until late in the day Sunday. They had repaired the issue and there were no outages. I have no idea if Boip used a fake image that was not theirs, but it worked for their timeline and our situation or if image really is impacting our outage. But they continue to not communicate with me. It is Tuesday afternoon. I have not spoken to anybody has my neighbor. We have left several messages. We work from home and this is an extreme inconvenience. This is not the first time this has happened.Business Response

There appeared to be several things that happened last weekend which created a cascading issue which took several days to solve. We texted the vague information we had to our customers. The issues were solved during the week and internet service was restored. The company is working on improving communication and we apologize for the delay in reply to customers We are understaffed and have been swamped during this unexpected outage.

Although BOIP is not a registered member of the BBB, I am submitting a complaint as there appears no other recourse. For months I have tried to reach ANY employee. I went to the office today but was told by a neighboring business office that they moved out months ago. I have been in a dispute with them since October when I discovered they double-billed me. In December or January I spoke with a woman who claimed she got hired to fix billing. She, along with everyone else appears to be gone. They double billed me again last month, and my internet has been down since this past Friday. I am done with BOIP and I want my recurring billing stopped. Thank you for your assistance with this matter.Business Response
Date: 04/04/2025
We transitioned to a virtual office months ago and BOIP is in business. Billing did not find an overcharge in October, however billing is looking to see if there was an overcharge in December. We will process the customer cancellation request and confirm as soon as possible. We will communicate with the customer about the refund request. We experienced an unexpected outage this past weekend but internet service has been restored.

Please be aware that BOIP continues to charge me monthly for the subscription they agreed to cancel. I sent another email last month to them and Im contacting my credit card company again. Is there anything else I can do?? Thank you. ***** ******* Sent from my iPhoneBusiness Response

Billing checked in Oct 2024 and in Feb 2025 and did not find an overcharge either time. Billing checked again in June ************************************************** February. We suggest that the customer provide receipts showing the two overcharges, since billing shows that one payment was made in Oct 2024 and that one payment was made in Feb 2025.

I have been a customer of this company for approximately 4 years, service has been mediocre at best for the high monthly cost. Outages are sporadic and several times have required an equipment exchange which is the responsibility of the customer to go to ******* to exchange. Communication has been extremely poor!9/11/2024, I lost internet service at my home 9/11/2024 - 9/17/2024, I was communicating with my internet provider via text regarding the outage. They indicated they were aware of a large scale outage that was being reported and hoped to have a solution soon. 9/18/2024 to current, BOIP, the provider, will no longer respond via text, will not answer phone calls and the voicemail is full. I have called a minimum of 10 times with no answer or return call and you are no longer able to leave a voicemail.9/30/2024, my checking account was drafted for $165 for the ****************10/11/2024, I sent an email to request the refund for the $165 I would like a prorated refund for the 18 days in September I was without service and a refund for the $165 for the ****************Business Response

BOIP provides internet service on 4G networks. The service has stopped working, all available means to contact them go unanswered (telephone, email, text, etc.). Their billing provider continues to debit my checking account and won't help. I don't mind that they went out of business, but they have to stop taking money from my accounts. I've filed complaints with my bank as well. I want a refund for the last debit, which occurred after the service was discontinuedBusiness Response

My service has not worked since 9/12/2024. I have called, text and emailed almost everyday and have only gotten 2 responses, one saying there was a wide spread outage, and the other saying We are waiting for an update from our provider. In the meantime, please be patient and we will update you as soon as we have more information. My bill is paid, all Ive asked for is an update with an amount of time expected until my services are back. I did get a call on 9/23/24 after I sent a message through their website saying I will report them to BBB, and the lady said some customers were able to get back online through the phone while others had to swap out for new equipment. She said she would call me no later than close of business on 9/24/24 and I have not heard anything. I went to the office on 9/26/24 and no one was there, the sign on their building was gone and there were packages on their doorstep. I dont know if they went out of business or what, but getting no sort of response is ridiculous, given how much money Ive paid them.Business Response

I have reviewed the offer and/or response made by the business in reference to complaint ID 22353588, and have determined that this proposed action would not resolve my complaint. For your reference, details of the offer I reviewed appear below.
Today is day 26 without any response via call, text, email or letter. I still do not have internet service, nor do I have a clear answer on whether BOIP is going out of business or not. This is by far THE WORST customer service I have ever received, and I have not received any sort of refund.
