Cricket Wireless - $40 Refill Card

Buying this card because I needed to start my cricket service when I bought my new Samsung Galaxy Sol 3 phone which is a great phone in itself. No hassle for me or disrespect while I'm on the phone with a customer service agent. Got my phone connected and everything is good. The only thing bestbuy didn't have was a screen protector for my phone.

The refill card was easy to use I would recommend to anyone who likes being in control of their cell phone bill.

So I was talked into buying this when I bought my phone and actually came out better in the end. However, of the 3 we bought one was "deactivated" Although I bought from the comfort of my home I have to go to the local Best Buy and hope they can help. BTW the other 2 I purchased were easy to add as a credit to my existing Cricket account.

I was recently a Sprint, T-Mobile, and Att subscriber. Out of those 3, Att had the best coverage in my area, but also was the most expensive. So I did some research and found out that Att purchased Cricket. They are a MVNO(Mobile Virtual Network Operator) and use Att's network towers. I have been on Cricket for over 2 years and love it. Once I saw a discount for these prepaid cards, I jumped on it. You can use these prepaid cards to pay your monthly bill even if you're signed up for the monthly auto pay. I'm signed up so I know. I can't believe most people pay expensive Att prices, when they can come over to Cricket for a fraction of the cost. Yes, I know they throttle you to 8mbp's download speeds, but honestly that is more than enough when you want to download something. Upload speed is awesome. I have never had an issue with them at all. To be able to spend $50 on a $70 prepaid card is a huge savings for me.

I have had Cricket for several years now since they were purchased by AT&T & it's been great. Customer service is probably the weakest point of the offering as it is all overseas. The website is a little low-tech too but phone selection and coverage is 2nd only to Verizon. Best Buy shipped this refill quickly and at the highest discount rate I've ever seen. Win. Win. Another great Best Buy purchase!

I have been using cricket refills for 3 years, it easy and simple to used.

It is an easy way to get phone service with out a lot of effort.

PROS: These prepaid cards are easy to apply to your account, either by text or using the Cricket Mobile App, and they are stored in your account until needed to pay your balance or for other Cricket services. The dollar amount is applied to your account, and with autopay turned on you still get the $5 discount/month even when there is a credit on your account. The amount can be applied to any plan value (i.e. a $70 card will pay for two months of the $40 plan after autopay discount) and if there isn't enough credit left in your account your credit card will be charged the remaining amount. CONS: Because this is a physical card, sales tax and other locality-specific fees are charged on top of the $70 when purchasing.
