A:AnswerGood day WHR43, thank you for reaching out with your question about the Samsung Galaxy Tab A9+. No, the advertised Galaxy Tab A9+ is the Wi-Fi/Bluetooth Only version of this device so it does not have cellular capabilities. It does, however, have expandable storage up to 1TB when you add on a microSD card. If you have any other questions for us, please feel free to contact Support. Thanks for choosing Samsung! - Debra
A:AnswerHonestly, I do not see why not. We bought 2 and they are used with Centurylink and Comcast wireless - and both work perfectly. Unless Cricket uses some weird or different type of wireless system (which I doubt) - I am sure the Tab A9+ will work with it.
Enjoy.
A:AnswerRegarding "payday," I'm assuming you mean the game series (like Payday 3 or Payday 2), as that's a common query for tablets and gaming. This tablet runs Android, so native mobile versions aren't available—Payday: Crime War (the official mobile spin-off) was discontinued in October 2023 and is no longer playable.
However, you can play Payday 3 (or Payday 2) on it through cloud gaming services like Nvidia GeForce Now, which streams the PC version to your device.
You'll need to own the game on Steam (or another supported platform), have a GeForce Now subscription (free tier works for shorter sessions, but premium reduces wait times), and download the app from the Google Play Store. The Tab A9+ handles streaming well with its Snapdragon 695 processor and 11-inch screen, but you'll need a stable Wi-Fi connection (ideally 15-50 Mbps for smooth 1080p gameplay) and possibly a controller for better controls. If you meant something else by "payday" (like a financial app or another game), feel free to clarify!
