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.”

Wireless Provider Doubles its Subscriber Base since its Acquisition by AT&T in 2014

Atlanta-based Cricket Wireless announced today it broke the 9 million subscriber mark. The company was acquired by AT&T in 2014 and re-launched as the new Cricket with 4.5 million subscribers. Since then, it has disrupted the industry as AT&T’s fighter brand by simplifying the customer shopping experience, infusing transparency in its plans and pricing, and giving customers the latest devices on a great network.

“Our ability to double the Cricket subscriber base in just four years after the acquisition is owed to a razor sharp focus on our customers – who we thank for coming along with us on this journey” said John Dwyer, president, AT&T Prepaid Portfolio. “At the beginning of this story, the prepaid industry was plagued with complexity. Customers deserved more, so our employees and authorized retailers dedicated themselves to finding innovative solutions that gained their trust and gave them the simple, smarter wireless experience.” 

In 2017, the Cricket and AT&T PREPAID (formerly GoPhone) brands were combined into one business group, known as the AT&T Prepaid Portfolio. Delivering a strong performance in 2017, AT&T’s consumer prepaid portfolio was the fastest-growing prepaid provider and today serves 14.9 million subscribers, an increase of 1.1 million from a year ago. Also in 2017, Cricket was ranked #1 by Forrester® in their annual US Customer Experience Index study.

Dwyer added, “As we turn the corner on this historic milestone, our commitment to elevating the prepaid wireless customer experience is stronger than ever.”
