It's good news for new and existing Cricket Wireless customers today with the carrier announcing that it's removing the Speed Cap on a number of its plans and adding 5G access to every plan. Cricket also announced that it's gained 2 million customers over the past couple of years which brings the total to 12.4 million, an increase that was driven by the carrier's participation in AT&T's Prepaid Portfolio.
“The last two years have been challenging for people. During this unprecedented time, when in-person contact has been limited, we all have relied on our wireless devices to keep us connected to the people, things and experiences that matter most. Through it all, we have quietly been focused on taking care of our customers—giving new ones a reason to make the switch to Cricket and giving our existing customers reasons to stay. We are proud of our subscriber growth and remain committed to earning the loyalty of our customers every day.”
The following plans will benefit from the removal of the 8Mbps speed cap:
- 2GB/$30 Plan
- 10GB/$40 Plan
- Unlimited/$55 Plan
The other big news is the addition of 5G network access to every single plan for new and existing customers although you will, of course, need a compatible phone and 5G network coverage (nationwide low-band and 5G+ mmWave where available) to make use of it. Naturally, Cricket Wireless is happy to sell you a compatible handset if you happen to need one, which is quite likely.
