How good is Cricket?

I have noticed for some time that Minneapolis and Chicago will be getting cricket service on Deceraber 6. I live in Minneapolis and am wondering how good cricket is compared to the big 4.
 
Cricket is the best carrier as far as quality that I have ever used. I have never had a garbled call or a call with cross talk. I have dropped 1 call in a full service area. I have had problems on fringe areas with less than 2 bars, but thats typical.

I've had Verizon, AT&T, Alltel, and T-Mobile and Cricket by FAR has the most stable network on the west coast than I have ever seen.

That being said, their CS is horrible. I typically try to never call them, I do everything on my own or have other forum merabers do it for me. :) Cricket is also behind the curve on technology and hanRABets, but that isn't a big deal since they allow you to flash devices from other carriers.
 
plans will be revamped to take advantage of new roaming agreements *cough* *metro* *cough* *tit-for-tat* *cough* giving us greatly increased coverage through roaming.

Q: How good id cricket?
A: REALLY REALLY good!

someone add that to the FAQ
 
well cricket by far is the best network for ur money if ur broke and wanna replace ur land line its the way to go i have been wit cricket ever since they introduced it back in 2002 here in dayton and i love it there customer service sux yes be overall it really is the best deal $60 a month for unlimited everything wit 200 mins of roaming better then ne wireless contract carrier or prepaid service my suggestion get it during there promos for ur city and enjoy being able to call anyone and everyone
 
I make almost triple digit salary, I'm far from broke, and live in one of the most expensive area's in the country and I still think cricket is the best. I'd pay 134.99 for crickets everything plan before I'd pay for T-mobile's 99.99 everything plan.

I've been in telecom and wireless industry for over 10 years, and cricket has the most stable customer oriented network I've ever been on.
 
I was an AT&T employee with an AT&T line, and I had to hack my phones and lock onto certain networks just to get acceptable service in most area's. The other employee's just thought all cellular networks dropped calls also. They refuse to understand that I NEVER drop calls on cricket.
 
:^/ Dude, almost triple digit salary means you make $99.99 per month? I hate to break it to you, but that's still poor, if not quite broke.

;^)
 
My wife and myself can easily afford a phone with another carrier, but we have had a better experience with cricket service, than we did when we were with verizon, and sprint. I use sprint for work, and cricket for personal, and I have better service with cricket.

I had more dropped called with sprint and even verizon than I have had with cricket. I've had 1 dropped call, and it was because the person that I was talking to was using at&t.

Now cricket's phones aren't the newest and glamorous I live in a AWS market so I am limited on phones, but cricket is very stringent on there phone selections, and won't just pass any phone that works with aws networks, and the one's that they do have work pretty well.

Cricket's CS does suck, so I don't deal with them much, but when I was with sprint I had the same issue, I refused to want to go into there store, but the network worked pretty well, just costs more.

So in a nutshell, cricket rocks, I've recommended them to several people. The only time when I would recommend another carrier, is if they travel, then cricket can become very expensive, then maybe it would be worth it. But if you are looking for a phone to use in a cricket area, you cannot go wrong.
 
Cricket is good, and affordable.
Try it, worst thing can happen is just that you dont want it anymore just stop payin for it NO CONTRACT.

I get no signal whatsoever in my house with my cricket dealer line, but then again thats why i have t-mobile also as my main carrier ;)
