Can you move to a roaming location and stay with cricket?

My gf lives in Chattanooga, she may be moving to atl.. where she'll be roaming all the time in Sprint.. Does she need to change carriers (i read somewhere that cricket was gonna sell products on sprint markets.. ) any comments?
 
i believe cricket has a fair use policy that rolled out with the true rate plans this past august. i don't know the ratio allowed, but using your phone outside of their native network for 100% of your calls certainly violates it.
 
and from what i recall , cricket is using some sprint towers... and sprint owns a large share of cricket.. i'd say go there and tryit ti out, if it's roaming, look to whatever else is down there.. and comparable.
 
This might be a stupid question, but what is "ATL"? I don't remeraber hearing that term before.

I know Cricket is supposed to be reselling Sprint's services soon.. Is that what you're referring to?
 
cricket definitely does NOT have native coverage in atlanta. if you ever want to know whether a city is part of the native network, simply do a coverage check and it will tell you whether services are offered (this is in addition to wireless coverage)

and no, sprint does not own any part of cricket. cricket does however have a nationwide roaming partnership agreement with Sprint (and many other smaller carriers as well)
 
Nope you cannot. You must make 50% of your calls on Crickets native network. If you exceed that amount they will remove the feature from your account and your phone will only work in Cricket markets.
 
Cricket only cares about roaming users who use more than 5000 minutes per month and more than half are on another network besides metro pcs. So since Atlanta is a metro market you will be fine. The main issue is that there will be no cricket corporate stores so if the phone starts having issues you are at the mercy of phone customer service.
