I recently canceled my plan with Cricket because of their deceptive tricks in billing. When i first signed up they were mailing me the bill so I would pay it. The bills stopped coming in the mail and got hit with a 10 dollar reactivation fee. The service rep in the Cricket store informed me that I would have to pay a 3.00 fee every time I paid at their store. So I asked her why they couldnt just send me a Cricket bill in the mail. She informed me that a $1.50 fee would be added every month for mail billing. This made no sense to me but I went along with it. A month late the bill never arrived and got hit with another 10 dollar reactivation fee.

It is obvious Cricket is nickle and dimeing. I will will have no choice to try out Boost.

I been with boost for 2yrs now & a couple of phones, but only because I like the upgrades. The only problem I’ve had is the falling calls. I’d be on the phone next thing i know it said call disconnected. Trust me that starts to get really annoying. If boost can some how create a way to help better reception boost would be an A1 choice.

I looked at both services. I have had sprint and cricket. I had cricket in the early days and it was not very good. When I used to travel with Sprint I had major reception problems. I switched from Sprint to cricket and I am not having the problems that I had with Sprint. I have had friends that tried Boost mobile and switched back to Cricket, since there service was inproved earlier this year.

Hey, well I have too agree that cricket sucks, and pocket blows. Reason is be cause everytime I would have to contact someone, it usually never goes threw.. my friends never really had signal nor did I, so I just don’t recommend neither… and for boost well they say its good, but I’ve tried contacting sum friends that had it, and a operator comes out saying ” please wait while we search for.the wireless phone” or something like that… either way all of them suck, sorry to say :/
But boost has radio and its cheap, so idk its always up to the customers. Usually all phones are frustrating.
