There is one very simple reason why I wanted to put together this Cricket Wireless Review… I’ve wasted a lot of money on prepaid cellular providers for my daughter.
I’ve had some great experiences. I’ve had some not-so-great ones. I want to make sure that you have a great experience.
One company I tried out before handing my daughter her cellphone is Cricket Wireless. Honestly, I didn’t expect much. At the time, it was a no-name company that my friend had told me about…
I did a little research and found that Cricket Wireless (aka Leapfrog Wireless) is offering pretty competitive wireless plans to increase their subscriber base and retain some of their older customers… That’s good for you and me, right?
Just recently, prepaid wireless has really caught the attention of the mainstream and the prepaid companies are doing quite a bit to incentivize their customers. People with lower credit scores or no credit history need cell phones! And prepaid is their answer.
The best thing is that these prepaid wireless plans are really cheap and feature rich… Texting. Data. National calling plans. Anymore, they’re a steal!
Ok, so let’s get started with our Cricket Wireless Review…
Cricket Wireless Review – Advantages
Cricket Wireless offers flat rate plans with unlimited calling. You don’t have to sign any contract at all… There are also a ton of features and benefits like data, text, pictures and all that other stuff. The prepaid plan you choose will dictate which of those features you get, but Cricket Wireless is being pretty generous!
Better yet, there is no credit check at all. So if you need a phone and are worried that you credit score isn’t up to snuff, don’t worry. Cricket Wireless may be the choice for you.
Cricket Wireless Review – The Cons
Cricket Wireless has a lot of phones but some of them are more expensive than at the traditional cell phone providers like Verizon Wireless or AT&T.
I bought a Blackberry for my husband and saw that I spent a little more on it than Verizon has it advertised for.
After doing some digging, I discovered that Verizon actually loses money on the phones themselves because they know that they’ll sign you to a 24 month contract, making it back in the long run.
Cricket Wireless can’t do that (because there is no contract…). So they basically sell the phone to you for their cost and make no money in the process. So the slightly higher price is justified because there isn’t a contract.
Cricket Wireless Review – Payment Options
Because there is no contract with Cricket Wireless, there are a few different ways that you can pay your prepaid cell phone bill.
Cricket Wireless offers customers the option to pay with a credit or debit card. You can make payments by phone with a credit or debit card, but you’ll be charged an additional 2 dollar processing fee to do so. You can also pay in cash at an authorized Cricket Wireless Dealer.
Cricket Wireless Review – Data, Text and Picture Messaging
Cricket Wireless offers:
- Unlimited text messaging with all plans
- Picture messaging is also usually included, but is determined by the plan you choose
- Data Plans are given on monthly plans of 45 dollars or more. That’s unlimited mobile web. PAYgo plans are a little different. With those, you pay per day.
Pretty feature rich, huh?
Cricket Wireless Review – Summary
All in all, Cricket Wireless is a pretty rock solid company. I haven’t had any problems with my coverage or plan. My phone did suffer a small mishap (aka. I dropped it in the sink) but they took care of it. I like my plan and its features…
