Cricket
Value Carrier (MVNO)Overview
Cricket is AT&T's prepaid brand, offering simple and affordable plans on AT&T's network. All data is always deprioritized (speeds capped at 8 Mbps on lower plans), but you get solid AT&T coverage at budget prices. Family plans are Cricket's secret weapon — 5 lines for $25/line is hard to beat. Good for families who don't need blazing speeds.
