Cricket to start selling the iPhone on June 22

Posted on Jun 01, 2012 by MG3

Leap Wireless announced that it’s wholly owned subsidiary Cricket Wireless will begin offering the iPhone sans-contract on June 22nd. As you are undoubtedly well aware, going the pre-paid route will require you to purchase the device at full retail price, though Cricket is offering a slight discount over what you’d pay at the Apple store. Customers looking for the 16GB iPhone 4S will expect to shell out $499.99 for the device. The 8GB iPhone 4 will retail for $399.99.

Cricket looks to enhance LTE rollout plan, strikes five-year deal with Clearwire

Cricket looks to enhance LTE rollout plan, strikes five-year deal with Clearwire

Posted on Mar 15, 2012 by MG3

Filed in: Cricket

It looks as if the Big G's plan to offload its Clearwire stake didn't stop Cricket from striking a deal with the Sprint-born network. The five-year agreement allows the underdog wireless carrier to use Clearwire's LTE Advanced-ready waves to aid with its own rollout, which is expected to be fleshing out over the next "two to three years."

That said, chances are all you care about is how speedy the 4G browsing will be (and how much you can use before getting throttled).

Cricket premieres the Samsung Vitality: the first smartphone with unlimited Muve Music

Regional carrier Cricket might not have hit the spotlight recently with major announcements, but its Muve Music all you can eat service, is one of the better options for feeding all of your musical hunger at a low price. Up until now, though, Muve was only available on feature phones like the Samsung Suede, which couldn’t quite elevate it. The Samsung Vitality, a branch-off of the Samsung Admire, is the first smartphone to break that sad tradition.
The Vitality comes with Android 2.3 Gingerbread and humble spec sheet: a 3.5-inch screen with a resolution of 320 x 480 pixels, an 800MHz processor, a 3.2 megapixel camera, all depending on a 1,600mAh battery. No stellar heights as you can see, .....

Cricket LTE Network Coming to Tucscon, AZ First

Cricket LTE Network Coming to Tucscon, AZ First

Filed in: Cricket

Cricket is launching its very own LTE network, and it plans to start testing in Tucson, Arizona first. In fact, the company will begin testing during the second half of this year using the Huawei E397 dual-mode modem, which tells us that USB modems and perhaps mobile hotspots will arrive long before LTE-capable smartphones will. That’s usually the case for most carriers, anyway.
Why didn’t Cricket jump on the 4G bandwagon sooner? PC Mag reports:
