Cricket Relaunches Brand With 4G LTE After AT&T Acquisition
Speaking of AT&T acquisitions, just a couple of months after buying Leap Wireless (which includes Cricket Wireless), AT&T has relaunched the Cricket brand with 4G LTE capabilities. AT&T has also folded its prepaid Aio Wireless service into Cricket, uniting the two into one brand.
“We kept the Cricket brand name, but one thing is certain, we are stepping up our game. We are giving no-contract consumers the value they have been waiting for,” said Jennifer Van Buskirk, president of Cricket Wireless, in a press release. She further stated that Cricket Wireless customers now have better 4G LTE access than Sprint, T-Mobile, and MetroPCS customers, with 97% of Americans covered.
The Basic plan ($40 per month) includes 500MB of data, while the Smart plan ($50 per month) offers 2.5GB of data and the Pro plan ($60 per month) gives users 5GB of monthly data. If you enroll in autopay, you get a $5 per month credit off of your bill.
Unlimited talk and text plans start at just $25 per month, and international calling plans start at $15 per month with unlimited international texting available. You can get four lines for as little as $100 per month. The prices include “all taxes and fees”.
Available smartphone include the Moto G, Samsung Galaxy S4, Nokia Lumia 520, and the iPhone 5C and 5S.
