get cut off? Today I got a Cricket phone and plan because I got my check. After I got home and was looking at the papers they gave me I realized my next bill will be on March 2nd. Well, I don't get my check until March 3rd which is when I would be able to pay my bill. Will Cricket turn my phone off because I'm one day late on paying the bill? Or will they leave it on and charge me a late fee when I do go in to pay?
