Cricket disgusts me

I have been a Cricket Wireless customer for two and a half years; I wouldn't recommend it to someone unless they can't afford to go to another carrier. Cheap plans come with cheap service; the calls drop a lot, and a lot of places get no service. This is bad when traveling. Cricket made my first travel experience horrid. In July I took a bus from Kansas City, Missouri, to Memphis, Tennessee. This was my first time out on my own before, and my dad wanted me to call him every couple of hours to check in with him, until I got to Memphis. Once we got to Columbia(about two or three hours into said trip), I lost signal. I was used to my phone losing signal, but was surprised to see, after a couple of hours of checking on my phone, that it didn't come back. I didn't gain signal until I was in Conway, Arkansas (eight hours later), and lost signal again near Point Bluffs, to gain signal an hour later in downtown Memphis. I was there for two weeks. The night before I was due to leave, my phone just quit. I didn't know what exactly was wrong with it, but it would only stay on for about thirty seconds, and only when it was plugged into the charger. Turns out there was a design flaw in the TXTM8, and every time you plug it in to charge it shorts the circuits in the phone. I had to take a twelve hour trip back home the next day with no phone. I had no way to communicate with my dad, mom or my fiance. It wouldn't even stay on long enough for me to text, and I had to wait another month to get another phone. I had the phone for four months, so thankfully it was still under warranty, but they couldn't replace it because they no longer carried the phone! So they upgraded me to the MSGM8II, which is the biggest piece of crap I've ever owned! The apps only work when they feel like it, you have to manually update the widgets, there's no slot for MicroSD, and the call quality is very low. Cricket is definately not recommended by me. I'd say go to Verizon or T Mobile, if possible.

Cricket has its issues as it is feeling a market of people that can't afford in most cases to pay for a two year contract or don't want to. There service I have had issues with as not being a user of their network but texting users of their service sometimes it took 4 hours for a text to get from the person to me and by that time we where either hanging out or I was doing something else. The network seemed to be unstable a lot of the time and signal strength seemed to be weaker than other services. But I am a firm believer in you get what you pay for.

I have tmobile & they have been really good to me. I know tmobile's coverage area isn't as big as other major carrier's but it works perfect for me. Criket's coverage is really bad, as far as places where I have to use the phone anyway. I'm not sure who your old carrier was but you might wanna look into tmobile as well. If their coverage works for you, then it might be the one for ya. They tend to be pretty cheap for the services they offer.

I have never used cricket, but I have heard a little about it, but that is all. I know there service isn't all that great as the coverage area just isn't that good. I would never use them, even though I have a contract with Verizon, I think that they are superior to Cricket. I do hope that you are able to see your old phones so that you can get the phone you want. Take care, and have a very good day.

i think it is better do sell all these useless phone.. i think this is very hard to do with such phones...

i have never used criket..
