Customers are saying

Customers are delighted by the Cricket Wave's ample memory, excellent camera quality, and ease of use, finding it straightforward to set up and operate. However, a significant drawback reported by many users is the short battery life and long charging times. The phone's performance is generally considered satisfactory.

    Easy set up and renewal of minutes, having no contract but ability to reinstate service if you forget to add minutes is easy

    I had the phone plugged in to charge when purchased. Downloaded a couple apps. Unplugged the phone, was at 41% opened Snapchat and watched the battery percent just drop like flies. Dropped to 23% in less than 5 minutes even after closing the apps.

    My daughter broke her phone, and she needed a new one. This was the perfect solution. It was not on the floor, so the representative went to the back to retrieve it. For $25 it's a great phone if you need a new one or you are going to get a new laptop be with Cricket.

    Phone costs $10, but you'll be charged $60 to activate the phone even if you active it yourself. Do not recommend.

    Decent Phone with Some Issues

    Posted .
    This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.

    Pros: Plenty of memory for apps, great camera, works fast. Cons: Around once a day it will stop working. The screen goes black and I can't get it to wake up or even force a restart; I have to pull the battery and turn it back on. Sometimes it will temporarily lose GPS reception in areas that aren't even in the middle of nowhere. Last night the phone decided to run an android update without my permission (or even notification that it needed one). Since it needed my password to start, the alarm never went off and I was 30 minutes late to work. I've never had this issue with another phone. Finally, there are no phone cases available online for this phone.
