Cricket is a prepaid carrier with fixed and unlimited data plans that are a good fit for single lines and families
Those that need to communicate with friends or family in other countries will be happy to know that Cricket is now expanding its coverage, upping its international long-distance calling and messaging service to over 200 locations.
A new way to reach those far away
By paying an additional $15/month on top of your current Cricket Wireless plan, you’ll gain access to unlimited calls and texts to 31 countries. Subscribers can reach even more areas by adding another $10 on top, and will get varying minutes of use to a bunch of locations.
The minutes allotted can vary from country to country, so it’s probably best to check out the full list to see whether this new feature is going to be worth it to you. The best part about this feature is that it does not utilize any data, and it is a straight call from your number to another destination.
So you don’t need to have a great internet connection to make these calls happen. While Cricket does have plans that start as low as $30/month, the brand does share that you need to at least be on the $40/month plan to take advantage of its international feature.
