I know nothing about cricket since it runs on AT&T and AT&T hate almost any device that is unlocked. They make it nearly impossible to use an unlocked OEM device on their network. Verizon and T-Mobile are pretty good about letting you use whatever you want.

I mean…i Just moved from Ting/Verizon to Crickett. It works fine. The primary line is a verizon line but the device is unlocked after 60 days per Verizons Policy.

The biggest annoyance with Crickett/ATT is

  1. ATT Passport Wifi cant be disabled permanently and is annoying

  2. Crickett constantly sends spammy SMS messages to me.

I may just move to ATT pay as you go for a bit more. Have dual sim verizon is borderline pointless from a data perspective. And t-mo has shit coverage where i need it.

What device? i know AT&T maintains a very strict whitelist and if you are not using Samsung, Pixel, or a device they sell your device is unlikely to be in the whitelist.

Oh it’s an iPhone for sure.

But I also had a google pixel 4a with CalyxOS on it from time to time.

Cricket also tries to charge you a bunch of fees to pay your fees. They’re predatory towards poor people.

I don’t understand? They have flat rates. But will take 5 bucks off if you do autopay.

I did notice they charged my card even though I had a negative balance (aka a credit). Which is odd.

That said their onboarding process is ridiculous and confusing. Even for me. And they try real hard to charge you 9 dollars for an esim.

But the fees are included in my monthly service charge.
