Cricket vs T-Mobile Prepaid

From time to time we receive questions from affiliates that we like to share with everyone. Maybe you have had the same question and we can answer it here. We were asked about the differences between Cricket and T-Moblie’s prepaid service.

So let’s look at the $50 of prepaid minutes you can buy at T-Mobile. For $50, you get 400 whenever minutes. Text messages cost $.10 each to send and $.05 each to receive. Picture messaging costs $.25, 411 calls cost $1.49.

For the same $50 at Cricket, you get the following:

Unlimited any time minutes to anyone
Unlimited US Long Distance
Unlimited coverage in all Cricket calling areas
Unlimited 411 directory assistance
Unlimited mobile web access
Free text and picture messaging
Voice mail, caller ID, call waiting, 3-way calling & call forwarding.

Even with our lowest priced monthly package, $35, you still get unlimited minutes and free text and picture messaging. For the same price at T-Mobile, you only get a little over 130 minutes and the same messaging prices apply. The advantages are clear.

A big consumer of pre-paid plans are students and kids. They text message a lot. With our competitor, it will cost them quite a bit, but with Cricket, it’s all included. Parents need not worry about big bills. It’s all in their prepaid amount and this will help you convert your users into Cricket purchasers and that leads to bigger checks for you!
