Cricket Wireless Cell Phone Service and Plans for Cheap.

In a strange and unconventional move Cricket Wireless announced it would be start a new way to pay for its wireless service. That method is what they refer to as “weekly payments” , that’s right if you prefer to pay week-to-week for your cricket cell phone you now can! According to Leap Wireless, cricket’s parent company they will allow you to pay $18/week (7days) for unlimited service. This includes the Unlimited anytime minutes, unlimited U.S. long distance, free text and picture messaging, voicemail, caller ID, call waiting and three-way calling, as well as nationwide roaming for 39 cents per minute. The official name for this is “Cricket By Week“. In order to get the plan you can contact Cricket Customer service or alternatively go into your local cricket store. In the press release they also mention they will now offer long-distance to Mexico and Canada as low as five cents a minute.

Now, I don’t personally know anyone who would pay an extra $15 dollars a month for the conveience to pay week to week? But, I assume there might be people out there.

It should also be added that cricket charges a $15 fee to change plans.
