Cricket Wireless announced today that it has lifted data usage restrictions while in Mexico. Customers on plans starting at $50 can now use their phone for talk, text and data in Mexico as long as they want with no extra cost.
“This is a big move in the right direction for our customers,” said Tiffany Baehman, chief marketing officer, Cricket Wireless. “Unlike MetroPCS who cuts customer calls in Mexico once they’ve reached a certain limit, Cricket customers will now be able to stay in touch with family, friends, co-workers and others while in Mexico without these calling boundaries.”
Cricket is celebrating this change in local communities with a special summertime treat. Starting July 27, Cricket will begin a Camión de Helados (ice cream truck) tour to hand out free paletas—a favorite Mexican indulgence often described as “summer on a stick.”
