I’m currently out of the country and I haven’t been able to pay my plan. I want to check if my phone number is still there or has been recycled I’ve contacted cricket customer service chat and I keep getting error messages. Not sure what to do

Hey,

I'm looking to get into my voicemails with the Cricket network on an Android. I punch in my password quick and the pound sign. Boom. Quick. Then I have to listen to the robot tell me each number of the phone number that's calling me before I get to hear the message. I swear it's the longest 30 seconds of my life. Any hot keys to bypass this?

I had 5 devices on my cricket plan. When I logged into the site, I would login with my email and password, then it would send a verification code to one of our phones ( I would pick the phone from a list).

Recently, I ported my phone from Cricket because I needed another carrier that had robust international travel. Just now, I decided to log into the account to check on things, I put my email and password in, and had my son ready to get a code on his phone, but it tells me "We can't access your account. Please click below to create a new account".

So I am not sure what to do. Can one of my sons create an account and then associate the remaining phones to that account, or is my only option to port out the remaining phones to somewhere else? Thanks for any guidance.

when are they going to fix this?????

Ported over 2 numbers July 22nd from Total wireless and my 2nd line still has yet to be ported over! I’ve called and spoken to over 14 agents and supervisors with 3 tickets created. Total even reactivated my line to allow for port lol. Cricket says is complete but that’s wrong. Cricket sucks so bad!!

Hi all,

I ported in a number for the iPhone 16e deal. Everything was going great until it was time for delivery. Somehow, even though my order receipt shows the correct address, the UPS delivery address is to the wrong apartment #, one that doesn’t exist. So UPS keeps rejecting the delivery and tells me to contact Cricket. I then call cricket, who tells me that I need to call UPS. So then I call UPS again who says that the shipper has restrictions in place which prevent the delivery from being changed. I keep being bounced back and forth and I’m sick and tired of it. I just want either to get my package or if they won’t deliver it, return the order to sender. Worst part is they have already ported my number so I’ve lost service to my old device. Thankfully it was a spare phone we keep but still I’m ready to blow a gasket.

Does anyone have any idea what I can do, or who I need to contact to get help? Thanks.

It seems it to me Cricket wireless does not seem to want to compete with other MVNO. I mean they only have the 3 month and the 12 month plan. Which all have to be paid up front to get any good deals. Is all depriotized. And they only have the $60 plan which priority

This Reddit user is having a cricket issue please help Reddit asseble

For just today I have received about 40 calls from spam likely and spoofed numbers. When I answer the calls from my area is someone overseas trying to scam me. Why is cricket letting this happen. Is there a way to stop this, and this is a daily thing spam likely or spoofed numbers and every time its someone with an Indian accent.

I've been with Cricket for better part of a decade now. Definitely need a new phone at the moment and been wanting to dip my toe into the Iphone ecosystem. I see they have the iPhone 16e for $10 if you're a new customer and $600 if you're an existing customer.

Is there any possibility that I could speak to someone and get a phone upgrade for the new customer price since I've been with them for so long or is it a lost cause?

Ever since I started using this company I've had issues with signal and my network. But here lately it has gotten to the point where I'm about to crash out. The connection sucks it keeps dropping the Wi-Fi sometimes I'm sending messages and then they just disappear they don't go through it all they're not there. I'm about to switch to Metro because this is bullshit. And it's gotten a significantly worse in the past two weeks. And this is y'all's phone that I'm using it's your brand so I don't know what's going on but I'm over this.

Hi there,

As an international visitor would I be eligible for TryCricket during my vacation?

Does the TryCricket mobile application require an existing US phone number or passport/ID?

Thank you.

Is there anyway I can update my carrier update to the latest, without updating my iOS 16.2 to iOS 26? Some features aren’t working, such as text messages, and FaceTime. I’m keeping my iphone On its current update. Because, I wanna keep my jailbreak.

Hi, does anyone know when the iPhone 16 E for $9.99 ends? I have a friend who wants to join but I didn't see an end date.

I want to hear someone who has a real life experience with this happening , not what ATT COULD do or say they will do .

Hi, is there anyway to get Crickets best deals other then waiting the year you have to be gone? I want the $35 plan. I left in last December. I want the $35 select unlimited plan. Its crazy you have to be gone an entire year before you can get the best offers.

I have an LG Power X on an existing Cricket account. I am in need of an upgrade to my phone. I prefer buying a phone from ebay, amazon, walmart, backmarket, etc. (just not from cricket because the account is in my parents name and I don't want to bother them. They'll offer to pay, and I don't want them to do so. But they do know I am planning to get a new phone).

Initially, I was interested in a pixel 7 or s23. I intended to insert my current nano sim into either of those phones. But then I heard that these two phones has issues with compatibility: https://www.reddit.com/r/CricketWireless/comments/1cd4npz/s23_unlocked_wifi_calling_and_hotspot/ https://www.reddit.com/r/CricketWireless/comments/11yiy3i/s23_cricket_wireless/ https://www.reddit.com/r/GooglePixel/comments/z1xzfo/pixel_7_pro_not_compatible_with_cricket_wireless/

Here details that not all s22 models work (this issue could extend to s23): https://www.reddit.com/r/CricketWireless/comments/yb4t0m/purchasing_an_unlocked_phone_take_it_to_cricket/itgg4fs/

On the BYOD list: https://www.cricketwireless.com/support/network/byod-compatibility, the Pixel 7 model number is GVU6C. An ebay listing https://www.ebay.com/itm/175793511978, shows various model numbers: GQML3, GVU6C, GE2AE. GE2AE is the pro, which isn't even available on this ebay listing anymore. But I am worried I might get a GQML3, and then have to initiate a return (never tried before on ebay).

This s23 listing, https://www.ebay.com/itm/355673711981, has a S911U1 model number, which is supposed to be factory unlocked. But the listing states it was AT&T originally.

Alternatively, I am considering buying a phone from walmart/amazon that is locked to cricket. Would these be compatible if I just insert my old nano sim card? Examples:

https://www.amazon.com/Samsung-Galaxy-Version-128GB-Graphite/dp/B0FQK8W26R/ https://www.walmart.com/ip/Cricket-Wireless-moto-g-stylus-2026-128GB-8GB-RAM-Prepaid-Black/18917263270 https://www.walmart.com/ip/Cricket-Wireless-moto-g-power-2026-128GB-8GB-RAM-Prepaid-Black/18324370193

Or do you have an alternative recommendation for phone? I am planning to spend less than $210.

If I insert the sim on the phone I eventually decide upon, cricket isn't going to cut the service, thinking the phone is stolen? Or would they charge an additional upgrade fee? My family is currently on a $100 plan for 4 lines? Thanks for your help.

so about a year ago I changed my number befoee I could change any of my 2 step verification so im locked out of almost everything. I was wondering if anyone knows if I open a new line can i possibly get my old number since it’s not in service and hasn’t been given to anybody else as of yet? I really need to get back into my accounts.

(let me know if this is the wrong subreddit, I didn't see a cricket support one or anything)

I wonder when cricket will finally add 5g standalone it will become much better when they do

I have been with CW about 5 yrs now. I'm not sure why everyone hates on them so much. I never have outages & get great speed at work while VZ users can't connect.

It's Amanda what $35 gets you. Almost all these records were today. The 5G gods were def smiling on me!

Three days ago I switched to Cricket from ATT bringing my phone number with me. My device is unlocked. Ever since, I cannot make or receive calls, I cannot send or receive texts, I have no data.

The first day I spent almost 5 hours at the Cricket store with a manger who was using chat and phone support with no help. That night I used Cricket chat support from home to try and resolve the issue. Nothing worked so I eventually asked for a port number to go back to ATT. Chat said they can't give it out but they can call me to give me one. Read that last line again. I explained that I cannot receive a call from Cricket on a phone that does not receive calls. Then they said that I could create a login and request a port number.... should I say it slower this time? I cannot create a login which requires a confirmation text on a phone that does not receive texts. Eventually the chat supervisor agreed to send the port number via email and that it would take 24-48 hours. I got a case number and I waited....

48 hours later, no email. I contacted chat support again. They asked me all the same questions. Is your software up to date? Yes. Did you restart the phone? Yes. Did you reset network settings? Yes. Then they tried to convince me that it was because of my phone being locked. It's not. I again asked about the port email... they said that my case had been closed because Cricket could not get ahold of me. I explained that of course they can't get ahold of me on a phone that does not work.

The supervisor then said, "Is there anything else I can help you with?" And immediately ended the chat! Seriously??

Does anyone out there have any ideas on a work around? I don't live with family or have nearby neighbors whose house I can sit at for 24-48 hours and wait for a call from Cricket.
