Cricket wireless can save you 50% compared to AT&T or any other of the major wireless operators. The saving isn't worth it though unless the service is just as good as the big boys so I compared the coverage of Cricket Wireless vs AT&T on my cross county drive.
Save $25 by using my refer a friend code!
www.cricketwireless.com/l/ref... (and keep your account active for 60 days), we both get $25. How sweet is that?

I always wondered how close AT&T and cricket wireless were when it comes to coverage! Because I have cricket wireless and I love the plants because it is a lot cheaper than AT&T or Verizon! And thank you for doing the coverage test on your road trip! Where I am from AT&T put up more towers in the middle of nowhere where they didn’t have coverage and now they have more coverage here in New Mexico! Since I am with cricket wireless, I get more coverage now in more places and it is pretty close to Verizon, in some areas it beats Verizon where I am from!

@@Dustinnicholas1987 it is awesome in New Mexico! Right now I am with straight talk wireless because they are owned by Verizon, but the only reason I left cricket wireless was of the phone price, but they have awesome coverage! They are owned by AT&T. I might jump back on AT&T after my phone unlocks in about two months! The best plan they have is the cricket more plan which is $55 after auto pay! And you get unlimited data with premium data speeds with no caps! 15 gigs of hotspot, and free max with ads! That’s why I might go back with them! But they are very similar to Verizon coverage. It’s barely noticeable nowadays! my parents live out in the boonies, and they work really well out there! I hope this information is useful!

I have had ATT back in the early 2010'S. When I had it, it was the best for the money. Then 5g kicked in I have noticed the lack of signal service for ATT customers. Then I went to Verizon. Now I am back on Cricket. The signal strength is terrible. I get one bar everywhere I go. When before I was getting at least 3 bars. Thinking about going to Visible soon.

You should disable 5g for now and just use LTE because not everywhere supports 5g. When I go to Dallas or Austin it’s great but when I go back to my small town it’s not that good so I just swing back to LTE and only use 5g in the bigger city. If you search any tech RU-vidr they all say 5g is still in its infancy also in my experience it drains your battery faster than lte.
@KFWinterblue
@KFWinterblue 8 месяцев назад
You shouldn’t just go by signal bars alone. My wife had Verizon and in our home she would have full bars everywhere but only get 3 mbps in the area. Me being on cricket (AT&T) I would and still only get one bar but 100mbps. So yeah, take that as you will.

Cricket Wireless is the same as AT&T starter. Price point with fiber 5 lines with AT&T is $112.50 plus taxes and fees. Less than $30 in taxes and fees, so less than $140 a month. Cricket is $125 no frills or $160 for 5 lines. AT&T you can get up to $800 sometimes $1,000 sometimes to get a new phone with trade in plus $200 per line you get a device and port in. So if you getting 5 Samsung S23 finance it for 3 years it would be $111.11 more on Cricket. So it all depends if you want to get phones heavily duscounted or pay full prices on smartphones.

I have been a customer for over 7 yrs. Before that I had cricket when it first came out. What I can say is the customer service has been awful and the service has declined majorly since the start of 5G. I personally think we are being deprioritized in an attempt to push us to upgrade to 5G. Before that I kept it because it was cheap. Now I just want to smash my phone and go without. Cricket is terrible.

AT&T downgrades cricket customers to the old 3G towers. Since they are shutting them down recently to get ready for widespread 5G rollout you are experiencing problems. As commented above you can get a 5G capable phone and should see improvement. Target even carries Cricket phones for $30-40. Luckily Cricket has real stores you can go into for customer service unlike other MVNOs. They're not great but better than foreign country phone only customer service.
@TW---
@TW--- 2 года назад
Also, being deprioritized is just the way it works with MVNO. They aren't doing it to get you to switch. But that's why you pay less half of what AT&T customers pay.

Cricket wireless is not the same as AT&t they have a lot of hidden things they don't tell you about like you're also not supposed to bring your own phone that is capable of IE 5g cricket doesn't like it and all will mess up your account cricket doesn't have good coverage out in the country they don't really care whether you're getting good service or not they just want their money. The only thing good about cricket is they're cheap for four lines a month and also you don't have to pay a fee to switch your phones around like on MetroPCS.

You are super delusional and a liar. Cricket is the exact same as AT&T. The only difference is, is Cricket is fully prepaid with Taxes and Fees Included while AT&T adds Taxes & Fees. Cricket 5G is also the same as AT&T. You obviously don't even know what you are talking about. AT&T fully bought out Cricket's owner Leap Wireless, rebranding it as AT&T's new Cricket Wireless since year of 2014. Oh you obviously don't realize it all depends on the phone the have with Cricket Wireless the same going for AT&T side of things. I have actually had excellent call quality/coverage throughout the country with AT&T "Cricket Wireless" without any issues whatsoever. Stop trying to speak for everyone else.
