removed some amateurish negative statements. they could be added back but need to be more generalized and coherent —Preceding unsigned comment added by 75.41.160.118 (talk) 15:01, 11 March 2008 (UTC)

Although Cricket Wireless is somewhat of a new company, they have managed to strive over the issues in question. People complained about the service not working in certain areas. Those areas are all out of the "Calling Area". People just didn't know that roaming is supposed to be pre-paid (as Cricket is a Pre-Paid, month to month service provider). It's all simple, pre-paid and unlimited. Nothing else beats it.

They need to buy out pocket communications. Pocket is a great phone but, the coverage is limited to parts of Texas. I would love to be able to use my phone in more places. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 67.135.14.213 (talk) 04:53, 1 January 2009 (UTC)

It may help provide a balanced perspective to help readers understand the function of prepaid wireless service providers and the similarities and differences between prepaid wireless service providers and "facilities-based" wireless services, which manage their own physical infrastructure, in order to better understand the role a subsidiary like Cricket would provide to a major wireless provider like AT&T.

Being merged with Aio Wireless
Aio Wirless, a lower cost AT&T service, is new - yet is already closing. AT&T said that it plans on merging Aio into Cricket Wireless. But AT&T coverage came from AT&T's cell phone tower network, using GSM technology. However, Cricket uses Sprint's network, which is MUCH smaller than AT&T's network, and which also uses the totally different CDMA technology. How can this possibly work?

Expensive World Cup soccer ad
The TV ad is brilliant (and cute) saying they cover 97% of USA. These ads cost millions, and this one is great. That's my opinion, Charles Edwin Shipp (talk) 19:53, 1 July 2014 (UTC)
 * Just saw Germany 'thrash' Brazil 7-1 and the Cricket Wireless ad more than twice. -- Charles Edwin Shipp (talk) 00:09, 9 July 2014 (UTC)
