CRICKET
Cricket offers Unlimited wireless usage for one price, but coverage
may be a little spotty. For the price, it
may work well for you or your family. They
have a variety of plans. With Unlimited usage,
the circuits may become overloaded. All plans
now feature "Nationwide" service
through roaming partners, which includes
Unlimited Talk & Text. Roaming partners
include most of the Sprint CDMA network.
Cricket is the largest "Unlimited' carrier
and is adding many new markets of their own.
You can use Cricket to replace a home wireline. Plans start as low as $30 ($25 in some
markets) with Family plans starting at $95
for 3 lines. Cricket also offers reasonable
Unlimited Broadband access which is currently

is limited to Cricket markets, off-network
