I am getting ready to do some frequent traveling out of my local area (Knoxville, TN) in July....Savanah, GA and Boston, MA to be exact....Neither of these markets are Cricket...If I want to use my text messaging feature while there, is that possible? I know I can purchase roaming minutes or up my plan to one with roaming...but I cant find any info on text messaging...thanks for any help!!!
 
how does those charges work? am I billed 1 min per incoming and 1 min per outgoing? do I have to have a flex bucket or if I up my plan to the $60 that it takes away from my 200 min?
