I called Boost support about the same issue and I was told that that particular phone and any other Ic series phone by motorola will not work with Boost Mobile. There was also a few other phones that will not work. Try calling thier support line and requesting the list of phones that won't work. Good luck.

When you place a new or a existing SIM card from another phone provider into your mobile phone and it asks for a Security Code then :-
This phone is locked to the original mobile phone provider. You need to contact this mobile provider to ask for the unlock code (Security Code) for this phone. You need to provide proof of ownership etc and the phone's unique IMEI number which is located inside the phone under the battery. They use this number to generate the unlock code for your phone.
They should provide you with instructions on how to enter this code into the phone.
Once you unlock the phone, then you can insert a new SIM card in this phone or sign up with another phone provider using this phone.
You could ring the phone provider and ask for the unlock security code because you are going overseas and wish to use your phone with a prepaid SIM card from another country. This may be a free service.
The other way to get your phone unlock is to use a phone unlocking company on the Internet, they usually charge a couple of Dollars for their services. Use Google and search for "Security unlocking code” companies in your area.

The IMEI number is unique the each mobile phone.
The number is printed on the label under the battery.
You can also get the IMEI number by entering this on your phone
*#06# It will then display your IMEI number and you may also get a unique global serial number. Your IMEI number should be 15 digits.

I
activate phones for Boost Mobile.
I'm sorry to tell you, but an
ic902 can never be unlocked to work properly on any other system - to
include the Boost system. Here's why. The ic902 is a
hybrid phone. That is, it uses two different cellular systems to
operate. Specifically, voice calls on the ic902 are placed over the
Sprint CDMA network and Push-to-Talk (PTT) calls are transmitted over
Nextel's iDEN network.
Boost Mobile calling (both, voice and
PTT) uses the iDEN network from Nextel. Thus, the ic902's radio
transmitter (which is CDMA) cannot make calls on the Boost ( iDEN )
system.
Moreover, if you plan to use Boost Mobile, I STRONGLY
suggest that you NOT purchase a Nextel phone and have it unlocked to use
for Boost.
Although Nextel and Boost phones seem the same -
they are not. If you look at the model number of Nextel phones most of
them end in a zero. (ie., i850, i870 etc.) where Boost Mobile Phones
end with the number five. (ie., i855, i875, etc.) This is because the
transmitters in the phones are set to different frequencies for
different purposes (like for texting.)
If you go to eBay for
example, those who sell unlocked Nextel phones to use for Boost (if
they're honest) will inform potential buyers in their eBay listings that
their unlocked Nextel phone will not (text, for example) on the Boost
network. These unlocked Nextel phones will have limitations when used
on Boost.
To prevent problems down the road, ALWAYS purchase a
Boost phone to use on the Boost network.
