Hi

When you sign up for the mobile phone service "Cricket" you are charged $25 / person sign up fee.

BUT if a current cricket user refers you you get a $25 credit on your next bill AND the person who refer you gets a $25 credit also.

We want to sign up but need a referral

Anyone??

TIA

Bill


PS anyone interested in switching can save about $8/line by ordering your new sim card online from Amazon

so you could sign up, pay the $25 and then refer a new customer to them

I almost signed on with them because they offer unlimited data, but I needed an I-phone that used the At&T network, and I really didnt need unlimited data... and the $750 for a new Iphone was more than I wanted to spend at the time...

Things have changed for me and that unlimited data thing will save me a bundle now. so back off to the Cricket store.

They use the ATT network and have several flat rate plans

We are signing up for 5 lines at $50 /line each has unlimited call and text as well as 5 gb of data /line/month BUT the big reason we are signing up is the rebate on extra lines: $10 on the second line, $20 on the third line, $30 on the fourth line and $40 on the fifth line (total of $100) so our $250 monthly bill will only be $150 (( previously we paid over $320 for the five lines and had no free service in Canada) AND we get free service in the US, Canada and mexico not just the US

The only thing is that there is a $25 /line fee to sign up BUT if a current cricket user refers us, we get a $25/line credit on our second the months bill AND the person to refer us also get the $25/line credit on their bill

Thanks ACE2000 for the referral

We switched from Verizon to Cricket and every one of our phones converted fine. If you want to know for sure, stop by the store and ask them to test it with their sim chip. We converted three iPhones 5s and one Samsung Galaxy 4.

Converting to Cricket has turned out to be a great decision for us and we have saved over $100/month with our 4-lines. Verizon is definitely better in some ways, but the difference in price is not worth it.
 
Since my life is moving in a new direction, I need to start saving money. Can someone send me a referral. Thanks
 
I don't know anything about Cricket, but we have 4 lines on T-Mobile for less than $100. Each line has unlimited talk and text and 2GB LTE before being throttled to unlimited 2/3G.
Only posting as a possible low cost alternative for some.

You can get 5 lines with 6Gb data each on T-mobile for $140. If some need only 2Gb, take off $15 for that line (each line can have a different limit). As Elan mentioned, if you run out of high-speed data, you still get 2G data for the rest of the month. Canada and Mexico are free, also with high-speed data. And much better deal than others if you travel overseas.

Your unlocked AT&T phone will work on T-mobile. No activation fee, either.

WE switched to Cricket because we wanted to stay with the ATT network BUT it sounds like T Mobile would have been a good choice too

Sugarcubesea I'll send you an PM / Email with the referral info
 
For what I see on their website, the 25 activation charge it's Free online.
 
I've been a big supporter of Cricket Wireless. I assembled a "group" of 5 lines in which we take 3. Each member pays only $20 per line. Not bad for being on the ATT network. Check out Howard Forums for a referral or PM me and I'll get one out to you. If you sign up on line, there isn't a $25 fee. I have no complaints and highly recommend the service.
 
I use cricket and it has been great.

I sent you refer email.

Let me know if anyone else is interested.

Thank you.
