Cricket Wireless Service:Cricket is a great wireless service provider that offers unlimited anytime minutes within your calling area (locally). Cricket is the type of company that blends wireless phones with your home phone which eliminates the need for a home phone line since all minutes are free on your plan anytime. Cricket cell phone plans start at $30/month and there are no contracts to sign eliminating the biggest hassle consumers find with cell carriers. You can add long distance services to Canada, Mexico, and other international countries. Their services include text messaging, ringtones, voicemail, called ID, and call waiting. To see if Cricket is offered in your area, check out their online map of coverage areas at https://www.mycricket.com/coverage/. Cricket offers phones like the Motorola RAZR, Kyocera Slider, Kyocera Xcursion, Motorola v265 and the Candid II. Be sure to check out the section below on the Cricket ringtones and other downloadables for your cell phone.
Cricket Ringtones:If you haven't joined the ringtone craze already, you should at least try a few on your cell phone before you knock it. Personaliziing your cell phone ring can come in handy when you are in a large crowd and mobile phones are ringing. If you have the same tone as everyone else, then it's hard to tell if your phone is ringing or if it's someone elses. Buying ringtones to your favorite songs or artists makes your phone unique when someone calls. The Cricket Ringtone Service can be found online at https://www.mycricket.com/clicks/. Cricket Clicks is an entire download center just for your cell phone and they offer games, images, ringtones, and interactive applications. Downloading a ringtone to your Cricket phone is easy to do and you can get started immediately if you have a Cricket account that is active and a phone that is compatible. You use your Flex Bucket funds to buy from the Cricket Clicks Catalog and when you make your selections, the downloads are automatically sent to your cell phone. Choose from country tones, rock, hip-hop and much more on the partner site they work with through Real Tone Juke Box. The Death Row True Tones are a popular choice amongst customers with rap stars like Dr Dre and Snoop Dogg. The Real Tones section has Reggae tones, BlingTones, latin ringtones, and more. The Fun Tones area is an excellent option for downloading the hottest Crazy Frog fun sounds and images or use the Flixtones application to get sound tracks and quotes from your favorite movies downloaded as your ringtone.How Much are Cricket Ringtones:You can sample all the ringtones for free before purchasing them by viewing the titles online and previewing them. If you want to purchase the ringtone, yes it does cost money. Some are $1.99 while buying in bulk definitely saves money. Some packages offer 5 ringtones for $6.99 and 10 for $9.99. The one downside to cell phones is that they can only store so many ringtones, so don't get too carried away and purchase 200 if your phone does not have the memory capability to store them all. Start with a few and then proceed making sure you are happy with the quality of the ringtone. There are new software programs that let you make your own ringtones and then download them to your phone pretty much for free. Check one out at Xingtone.com.
Cricket Wireless vs Metro PCS:More and more wireless carriers are popping up in metro regions around the United States that offer unlimited calling in your local network area for a fixed monthly fee. No more "going over your minutes" or having to sign a contract that ties you into the cell phone service for 2 years. Cricket Wireless and Metro PCS are 2 of the larger wireless phone services now offered in many areas of America with unlimited calling (locally) and discounted rates nationally or internationally. In our research online we found that Metro PCS gets great customer feedback for service and cell phone offerings, but Cricket Wireless beats them out overall. The one big issue for both of the smaller niche wireless companies is that they are not available in all areas. Cricket is just starting to expand to smaller cities like Portland, Oregon and so it will depend on which service is in your area when it comes to choosing one or the other.
