We'll see how it goes. I'm having them port my number over to a new Cricket Motorola e5 supra for $119 and will be the crash test dummy for the family to see how this service goes.
Your going to love Cricket or better said ATT cell phone service at a discounted rate.
Its no different, any negative comments about Cricket are from people who never used the service OR better said, people who do not use ATT.
Its the same service.
Here is the best part, no one has ANYTHING to lose by going to Cricket. There is no contract, dont like it or want to switch plans your free to cancel or switch, some people are so used to signing contracts for a TELEPHONE their head doest understand no contract.
My only suggestion to you would to check out the 5 GB plan, for 4 lines, data speeds are 8 MBS instead of 3. We have had this plan for approx 5 years now but we pay less, guess we are godfathered in.
Come to think of it, stick to your 4 lines $100. might as well as even if you wanted more, there is no contract and you can switch plans.
But still might be worth checking out the 5 GB plan or contacting them because it might actually be less then what I am posting below.
New rates appear to be - 1st line $40, 2nd line $30. 3rd line $20, 4th line $20

One thing for sure, rates on cell phone plans have bottomed out and companies are starting to work up the prices, even ATT Cricket, we have saved THOUSANDS of dollars on cellphone bills over the years ...
But I do see rate creep in the new rates, we still pay old rates.
It used to be 4 lines of 8 MG unlimited service 2gb per line of high speed - 4 lines $100 and you can have the fifth line free if you wanted!!!!
Our rate is still the same but they have bumped us up to 5GB perline of high speed.
ONE GREAT THING ABOUT CRICKET (SO FAR) IS THE PRICE INCLUDES ALL TAXES AND FEES INSTEAD OF THE OTHER [censored] COMPANIES PULL ON YOU.
It amazes me what garbage people put up with, they are nothing more then "drones" created by corporate marketing.
