Cricket PAYGo Plans

With Cricket PAYGo monthly plans, you pay as you go, so you're in control and always connected without being tied down. All plans include nationwide talk, text, and web. Plus, you get voicemail, call-waiting, caller ID, and 3-way calling.

See larger image.

You can choose from two monthly PAYGo plans:

• /month for 300 minutes
• /month for 1000 minutes

Each plan includes unlimited messaging (text, picture, and video) as well as mobile web access and 411 calling capabilities ( per call).

Topping-Up

Because plans are pay-as-you-go, you have to top-up your Cricket PAYGo account balance in order to have funds available to use Cricket PAYGo services. When you receive your phone, go to mycricket.com to activate service. While there, you can enroll in auto top-up, which automatically adds funds to your account each month, or you can choose to buy top-up cards and PINs at locations nationwide or dial *PAY on your phone to top-up with your credit or debit card.

Topping-up can also extend your Cricket PAYGo account expiration date, which applies to all funds in your Cricket PAYGo account. Each top-up makes those funds available for use for a limited time. When you top-up, your account expiration date is reset to a new expiration date based on your top-up amount or your current expiration date, whichever is later.
