Promotions for New Customers

Cricket Wireless has renewed their $100 credit program for new customers switching to Cricket Wireless from T-Mobile, MetroPCS, Sprint, Boot Mobile, Virgin Mobile or Cincinnati Bell. There isn’t a limit to how many lines can qualify for the credit per customer, and the credit should show up a few weeks after activation and porting. The credit offer expires on December 31, 2014.

Promotions for Current Customers

There are several promotions available for current Cricket Wireless customers as well, including the following plan add-ons:
  • Free Cricket International – For 3 months, Smart and Pro Plan customers can get three free months of Cricket International when they add the feature (which costs $5) to their plans. After the three months, the additional $5/month will be charged. The credit is available for customers who sign up between November 14, 2014 and January 8, 2015 and will be applied each of the following three months after you sign up.
  • Cricket International Roaming Mexico – Cricket is launching a new plan that gives customers 100 minutes and 100 texts per month while roaming in Mexico for $10/month.
While it’s not a holiday promotion, Cricket Wireless also has a pretty cool program called Cricket Rewards, where customers can get points which can be applied in the form of rebates towards new cell phones. Every year, customers can get a $50 credit to put towards a phone. For more information, check out the press release or visit their website.]]>
