Cricket Wireless Starts To Take Over!

Brief overview:

Are you sick of paying a ridiculous sum of money to your cell phone provider each month?  So was I! This is why I decided to check out Cricket, no not the funny baseball like game from Europe - I'm talking about the new mobile phone provider Cricket Wireless.  This article is about my journey into the provider and the experiences I encounter along the way.  The claims include unlimited anything and I put this claim to the test!
It all started when I heard an ad on the local radio station which exclaimed, "Get ready San Diego, a new wireless provider is coming to town." the ad went on to explain that they would offer unlimited anytime minutes, text messages, and internet for $50/month with no contracts required.  Being fed up with Cingular’s horrible customer service and insane prices I was instantly intrigued and wanted to learn more about the new service.  It all sounded just too good to be true!  So, I went on to do my research on local forums of people who have used the cricket service in other areas such as Portland, Oregon and Houston or Dallas, Texas.  I read their mixed reviews of the service and formulated my own idea about which phone I would purchase.

After doing days of research I decided I would purchase the Motorola KRZR with the unlimited everything plan.  The reason I choose this phone is because it's small yet sleek design and multi-featured functions that included the mobile web and multimedia text messaging service.  I must say this is probably the most impressive phone I've ever owned.  And, for the price $200, with the first month of service free it was an offer I couldn't refuse.  I tried to utilize every feature on my new phone in the first month so I would understand if I was going to keep the service.  One of the main benefits of Cricket is their "no contracts" guarantee so even if things went south I could hawk the phone on eBay and have virtually no loss.

I'm happy to report that the service is equally as amazing as the phone.  The service was equal to that of Verizon and got service virtually everywhere in my San Diego market.  I had no problem sending multimedia text messages to my friends on different networks and enjoyed their responses as well.  But, by far the funniest part about this phone is the internet.  I'm a huge basketball fan and this phone really helps with getting me basketball scores well I'm working the nightshift.  Overall, I'm stoked to free myself from the clutches of those horrible "2-year contracts".

The Cricket plans and phones are great for many different people. Here are a few situations where Cricket can do very well for you:

• With Cricket you do not need to sign a long term contract, nor do you need to go through a credit check to receive a phone plan. Since you are paying for each month's usage up front, you do not have to worry about your credit score and credit report to get a phone plan. There are many consumers who face this problem every day and those that do not like being tied to a contract for two years, and Cricket is perfect for them.
• A perfect phone for teenagers. Many parents are equipping their teenagers and even elementary school children with cell phones so they are able to get a hold of them at all times. One of the biggest concerns they have are high monthly bills. Those kids love to text, and that can drive up their bills. Cricket has 5 plans with unlimited local calls and two plans with unlimited tex messaging, perfect for them. As they are pre paying a standard amount, $50 for our highest plan, they don't have to worry about seeing an unexpected $300 phone bill.
