Cricket Wireless

Network: AT&TTech: GSM / LTE / 5G

Established in 1999, Cricket Wireless is a carrier-owned prepaid wireless brand using the AT&T network for service in nationwide service areas. It should be compared with other prepaid and MVNO options by plan price, high-speed data allowance, hotspot access, phone compatibility, taxes, fees, and whether the plan receives the same network priority as the parent carrier's premium plans.
