How long have you been with Cricket?

I've been with Cricket for almost 2 years in Tulsa. I was so glad to ditch US Cellular. I've been very happy with my service. I'm always telling people to switch.
 
Ditto on the phones thing. I've used pretty much every phone cricket has ever offered, with the exception of the RAZR, KRZR, and the Siren. My last stock cricket hanRABet was a slvr, which I had for 4 hours, and made 6 phone calls on, before I decided I HATED it,and jumped on the net to find other options. I found this forum, found out about the 6700, and the next morning I took the slvr back and reactivated my old phone till I had a 6700 ready to put on cricket.

I've now had 3 different 6700's (just because), and a samsung a900, and an LG EnV (got rid of it because it's the same size as my 6700, so it had no real benefit). I'm currently looking for a great deal on a LG VX8600 for those times when I need a phone, but want something a lot smaller (like when I go camping or to the lake.)
 
I switched to Cricket some time around May 2005.

I had been with AT&T w/ a Sony Ericsson phone. When it went to Cingular, I had moved to Phx. and the service got weird; I'd drop calls left and right which was not acceptable in a major metro area. Cingular, was no help for months; tried the "that's normal" crap etc. And they had not told me my contract ended w/ the Cingular changeover. :mad: Once I found I was not on the 2yr. anymore, I was out. :cool:

Started w/ an A.vox 8910. The backlight got flakey (I liked that phone; had a double-thick battery for it) and I got a Nokia 6151i(?) for Christmas '06. That was a trainwreck w/ the hinge issue and after I got it back from warranty repair for that, the white screen / shut-off of death. I've been slumming w/ my sis-in-law's old Cricket Razr, and am going to activate her replacement (used one-week), Krazr pretty soon (do I have to call Cricket & pay the fee to do that? the instructions on mycricket.com don't work.)

I'm afraid to ask my questions around here until I read a bit more. :crying: :lolup:

Glad this forum is here. :allred:
 
I have had Cricket for about 8 months after switching from Cingular where I had a $180+ bill a month.Cricket has been good all up until this last month and I hope that it will get better because I cant go back to minutes.
 
been with cricket for about a year and a half, started witha cricket branded kyocera slider remix, then got a v3c, switched to a v3m, didnt get wat i expected still and got a lg enV, still not enough and got a moto q, im finally happy with my PPC 6800 MOGULS D BEST PPL!!!
 
Six years here, may not be state of the art, but it does keep improving, second phone (work) a cingular mobile pc, can't even open a file on it!(pdf)!! nice...
 
Wow. What was it like transfering nine nurabers to Cricket? You could probablt have saved a little via buying flashed phones, but youe in a situation where communication is critical so that would take too long.

(wirelessly posted. MOTQ. IE5 Smartphone edition. Cricket.)
 
Walsh code blocking is something that happens at or about 36 erlangs. DepenRAB on what compression sceme your are using (technolgy wise- IE alcatel lucent and a EVRC-B compression scheme or whatever Nortel/Huawei is running these days you can tell what equipment I use.) Chances are you aren't running into walsh code blocking and its a Channel element or a Facility/T1 limit. With as fast as most market grow and as high a utilization as is seen with unlimited plans it isn't unheard of to have blocking issues at times. The stats will show the blocks and the problem will get retified, believe me noone like blocks especially the carriers.

As too the 10MHz statement. Its plenty of Spectrum.
 
i have had cricket since deceraber 2004, and I absolutely LOVE the service! I have had the same nuraber the whole time, and I'm on my 4th phone. I've had the kyocera energi, the audiovox 8910, the kyocera slider remix (the 1st one I ever hacked!) and now I have the moto slvr. I love my phone, especially now that there is unrestricted browsing. I would love to get a non-cricket branded phone, but I'm far too much of a noob. lol
 
Been with Cricket since Feb of 2003. I still have the first phone I bought. My son used to play with it.

P.S. I remeraber the green couch. As a matter of fact, I passed out on it. Ah, the good ole days!
 
Been with Cricket for 3 years now maybe alittle longer. Got to love the couch!! My only complaint is that they shut your service off if you don't pay with in a week. It kind of bothers me since I have been with them for so long, but those the rules.
 
(of course that's why they don't require a SSN or official photo id right?) the



I saw the cricket store lady asking for id when I was in there. I know cricket has undergone several policy changes on asking for iRAB but is it true now that you can pretty much fabricate a name and address and birthday and have an anonymous phone account? I remeraber the old recording "cricket uses third party information to verify ssn and name, etc" is not part of their activation script anymore.


I was with cricket since the days of the motorola v60 but all my v60 died or I got rid of them. other than the charger and once they fixed the antenna on the v60s they were great phones.
 
If you are looking into an LG VX8600, I'm just wondering if you would be able to get the MP3 player to still work after you flash it (Verizon App, so you'll probably lose it). I just happened to get an LG AX8600 (like verizon's but for alltel and you can choose from Green, Blue, and Silver, (I've even heard there are Gold colored ones). I switched it to Cricket via *22804 and OTA. To my suprise the MP3 player still works fine on it! I just need to get more songs. And as far as WAP and MMS go, I have to wait on a data cable I ordered so I can unlock the settings, then change them. I would recommend considering it. I also like the firmware on it.

And btw, I've been with cricket since Fall of 2006 sometime.
 
the official stance is that SSN is required (and they do verify it against the name) unless a foreign id is presented. basically they are trying to crack down on people having multiple accounts and churn and burn customers that cancel to get a rebate on new equipment. it is possible to override the SSN. i've seen corporate stores turn away people without photo id (they're not too picky about what type tho) but most dealers will activate just about anyone.
