"First incoming minute free"

OK, have been doing more research on Cricket and I am ready to go see a local dealer. But there is one confusing thing that I think must be a typo on the mycricket website.

For Oregon they basically have a $50 plan and a $45 plan that will work.

For 45, you don't get web access, you don't get 411 service, otherwise seems pretty straightforward. However on the $45 plan it just says "free incoming calls YES"

On the $50 they say the same thing, but in the block directly below they put in "First incoming minute free" That phrase isn't in the $45 plan language.

I will ask at the dealer, but having been mislead by a succession of ATT, Cingular, T-Mobile and PagePlus reps over the years (none of it purposeful, I believe), just wanted to know what, if anything, anyone thought....here's the gist of the $50 plan language:

Plan type Individual
Calling area Every Cricket calling area across the US
Domestic long distance included Yes
Free incoming calls Yes

Included Minutes
Anytime minutes Unlimited
Night and weekend minutes Unlimited
Domestic long distance minutes Unlimited
First incoming minute free
Yes
 
i think its just screwed up.

the 45 dollar plan is the best unless you need to roam. in san diego 45 dollar plan even has unlimited web.

by the way, dont take this as rude, but so far you have 2 posts with questions about cricket service. makes me think you're kinda "needy" as a customer, and i doubt cricket will make you happy in the customer service department. be sure that you understand you'll get unlimited voice, unlimited text, unlimited picture, unlimited web for 50 dollars a month, and thats about it :) if you have questions or problems, they won't be easily resolved by cricket.
 
Yeah, seems as if you are right about a typo/screw-up. Just wanted to see if it was a commonly "known problem among Cricket users."

As for needy, really, just more cautious. If I had frienRAB or neighbors that had Cricket service, I would ask them how they rate Cricket and that would be the end of it....but no one seems to have it around here, which is a "first caution," so this board is the next best thing.

I feel it's easier to ask for help here on these two issues and see what is what, than to get stuck getting out of a provider's clutches once you have taken the plunge.

If you want to see a carrier with POOR customer service, see PagePlus....or at least they used to be extremely poor....supposedly they have improved...and I managed to stay with them for three years now with little help :D

And, thanks for your help
 
im just warning you. people who are usually leary about something like cricket learn the hard way that cricket isn't willing to go out of their way to make your experience any better. they are a budget company offering a service cheaper than anone else :)

you're just gonna have to suck it up, purchase service for 1 month, and try it out. honestly? i've never known anyone in any market go back to a standard carrier after trying cricket. atleast in the past 4 years. previously cricket had bad coverage. now? they blow away at&t, verizon, and t-mobile in the past 3 markets i've been in (cali, az, nebraska).
