With Cricket Wireless, there are no data, texting, or calling overage charges. If you go over your data limit, you still have data—just at reduced speeds. Unlike some wireless providers, Cricket Wireless doesn't base its plans on voice or texting minutes.

Buy a Phone or Bring Your Own
Cricket Wireless offers phones from major manufacturers like Alcatel, Apple, Nokia, LG, Samsung, and Motorola. Phones are sometimes free if you transfer your existing phone number from another carrier or choose a preowned phone. Otherwise, prices range from $29.99 for two Alcatel models to prices as high as $1,449.99 for the Apple iPhone 11 Pro (512 GB).
