Cricket Wireless on Wednesday launched a new, limited-time promotion which sees its Unlimited 2 plan being slashed to $40 per month. Reserved for new customers, this represents a savings of $15 per month; it’s usually $55/mo. for the same plan.
How to qualify
Customers interested in the deal must port their phone number into Cricket and sign up for the Unlimited 2 plan. Cricket will give subscribers a $10 bill credit each month for one year. The other $5 discount comes in the form of signing up for the Auto Bill Pay.

The Unlimited 2 plan offers:
- Unlimited calls, texts, unlimited data and picture messages when calling to and from Mexico, Canada and the U.S. (Minimum 50% U.S. usage required.)
- Unlimited data access, calls, texts and media messages across the U.S.
- Unlimited texts from the U.S. to 38 countries.
Fine Print
Data speeds are limited to 3Mbps down with video streaming at 1.5Mbps. Moreover, should one go over 22GB of the “unlimited data” in a billing period, Cricket will slow speeds during congestion. AT&T subscribers do not qualify for the porting discount.
The promotion runs from February 16 through April 12 and it can be combined with other offers.
