Multiple lines on account

I have 3 phones on my account with unlimited data. Do they give one line more 4G than the others? I know when you use the max, your phone slows down, but it seems the adjusting of the 3 like es are not what they should be.

Honor 8x LTE support

I have been looking to get the Honor 8x. The phone on Amazon says it supports Band 5, but not 17. I am slightly confused as to what is accurate. As the seller says it will work on LTE for ATT/Cricket, but the tech specs seem to be slightly off and one reviewer said it didnt get LTE speed. I am based in CA, but travel to various parts of the country as well, so hopefully it would get LTE coverage everywhere. From Amazon Description:3G HSDPA 850 / 900 / 2100 - 4G LTE B2/B4/B5/B7/B12/B28 - Dual SIM (Nano-SIM, dual stand-by) > (ensure to check compatibility with your carrier before purchase)https://www.amazon.com/Huawei-JSN-L23-Factory-Unlocked-Smartphone/dp/B07L14D7F7/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1546816840&sr=8-1&keywords=honor+8x

AT&T Unlocked GSM LG G3 D850 Smartphone

I have Cricket Wireless and the AT&T apps on my phone are such a nuisance. Is there a way to remove all the AT&T apps and replace with all Cricket Wireless apps. As an example, when my phone starts up, I'd like to see Cricket Wireless instead of AT&T. Thank you in advance.

Update kills wi-fi on zte983

Your recent update has locked all Wi-Fi networks on my zte983 . Wi-Fi manager on/off has no effect. Network is not at fault. I can't be responsible for data usage if I can't use Wi-Fi. If you can't fix this the revert to old software. Up till now Cricket has worked well.

BYOP - LG G5 from Verizon

Morning!I have my old Verizon LG G5 that had a broken screen.  Replaced the screen and want to use it with my Cricket Plan.Well, swapped in the SIM Card and it selected Global network, which is 3G or less and one bar.Went through the settings suggested under the BYOP setup, and had LTE last for a short period last night. Somewhere over the night it switched back to Global.With the Samsung Cricket phone, we go from 2 to 3 bars, not always LTE where we live.Question 1: How do I get it to stay on the correct network? Question 2: Is there a way to get rid of the Verizon programming in the phone?Thank You!

yahoo mail app issue

Hi Folks,Recently purchased a Moto e5 Cruise.  Trying to install Yahoo mail app and it won't work.  By that I mean I download & install the app.  Open the app, at the prompt I enter email address for my existing Yahoo account.  I press the "next" button and nothing happens.  It is supposed to go to an enter password screen but it just stays at the user name prompt.  The button flashes briefly then just stays same page.  I have deleted the app and reinstalled it several times.  Tried all reasonable variations of my user name (w/out @, etc), looked all over the web, nada. Any ideas here?  Gmail works fine as do all other apps and features.  I am stumped.

Android not downloading group texts from iphone senders

HiI have a cricket Moto e5.  I recieve individual SMS/MMS test messages and group text just fine from other Android users as far as I can tell. However, recently have encountered a problem when iphone users include me in group texts.  Rather than just giving me the message, I get a notification with a link to "download" the message.  The download never completes unless I am connected to a wifi network.  This seems to be some kind of conflict between Android's MMS and Apples imessage systems.  Based on suggestions on the internet I have attempted the following: 1. I have ask several iphoner's to ensure they have my phone number listed as "mobile" rather than "iphone" in their contacts list2. I have asked several iphoner's to ensure their settings are set to "send SMS when imessage is not available"3. I have verified that I do NOT have a active imessage account with Apple.Anyone have a fix for this?

Blackberry phones

I really need to know what Blackberry phones work on Cricket. I can't get an answer out of anybody. I heard they stopped supporting Blackberry 10 and then I heard if it's an unlocked ATT phone it will work and then I heard some functions may not work.

Making sd card default storage

I have the cricket HTC desire 625. The internal storage is terribly small and with all the junk that cones on the phone it leaves very little space for anything I actually want. I have an SD card but I can't figure it how to directly download things to it and most of the things already on the phone can't be moved to it. Is it even possible to make the SD card the default storage?

Extremely dissatisfied

I have had Cricket for a month now. Before then I had studied for weeks deciding which phone company id use. What sold me with Cricket was the girl telling me my phone would not only be able to be used with Cricket but id also be able to use it with the mobile hotspot which is what i needed most.Turns out NO. My old phone didnt work. So they set me up with their mobile hotspot and $60 plan with the free phone of theirs. An Alcatel Verso. This has got to be the most worthless phone I have ever owned. It is truly WORTHLESS. The display is absolutely horrid. The RAM is nearly non exsistant so starting any app at all drains it to the point of being very very very slow. But the worst part: The constant over heating and shutting down. Sometimes , usually 3 or 4 times a day, the phone over heats. I cant run apps, I cant open my emails, i can barely text. No matter what I do it causes this phone so much stress that it over heats and shuts off. This is uncalled for . I looked up the phone and A

Voice down

Voice has been not working for over a week now from my home. Repeated calls for support have not helped. I have been with cricket for years with no problems. Data lte is fine. Four bars for service. There was a tower outage 2 weeks ago and we called support. No bars for service and the representative said they were aware and it would be fixed in a couple of days. It was and it worked for a few days. Now no voice on my android phones until you get a few miles away from home. It affects Four phones from two manufacturers. All four work fine as soon as you get a few miles away from home. 1 mile away they still don't work. This is on a major road highway 378. The iPhone is fine using HD voice. Customer support says that they will call back. I told them to call on the voip landline. All we have heard is crickets though. 😭

ZTE983 Wifi will not stay connected.

First off, I am a network engineer and have been doing it for 16yrs... So as far as my home setup..it is solid.All my other devices including non-cricket phones and Android OS has no problems with WiFi in the house or anywhere else.My ZTE phone from Cricket as of about a week or so ago simply will not stay connected to ANY WiFi hotspot longer than 5 minutes. I do 90% of my work from home and got the message today that I have used 75% of my data.... I never even use 1 GB in a month...let alone 7GB. I noticed that my phone is constantly disconnecting from my WiFi and randomly reconnects when I leave the house and come back.... Connections never last more than 5 minutes before dropping...no matter the signal quality.The router still shows in the list but I have to reconnect to it constantly....and 5 mins later repeat... There are no issues with my home and office network and only this phone is doing this out of the 8 devices on my wireless home network.Is there a way to bypass the Cricket

I need to change my phone .but I'm not going to pay a $15 dollar fee. I will find me another company

I need to change my number. But I'm not going to pay a$15 dollar fee. I've never had to pay to change my number with any other service provider I've ever used before. And I'm not going to start now. I will find me a nother service provider first. So how can I change my number without paying a fee

LG G6 only getting 3G

I just bought an new in box,  unlocked LG G6 phone.  The phone is compatible per Cricket's website by entering the IMSI number. When we put in the SIM card, we are only getting 3g, instead of 4g LTE.  The card was previously in the LG X Power and I had no problems.Any info would be helpful.

Android Update 11/22/18

My LG Stylo 3 just did an Android update. Is there any way to find out what the update did for my phone? It obviously was not an Android version update as I am still running Android 7.0 still.

Hot Spot

I have never been so disappointed with my Cricket service I have been a loyal customer for over 8 years and referred other friends and family to not be able to get my tethering hotspot on my ZTE axon phone which Cricut does not offer for a purchase I still keep Cricket as my service I had to tethering once I purchase the phone and removed it to not being formed by customer service that once I remove the tethering because of my ZTE axon phone I would not be able to reinstate the tethering hotspot this is not acceptable for a loyal customer for over 8 years I'm sure I'm not the only one that's upset about not being able to get the hotspot or the tethering on other phones again this is not great customer service this needs to be brought to the attention of crickets president and I know that I am not the only one that will stop using and referring people to Cricket if this is not changed immediately.

Sim card installed but not working

Hello,I bought an LG Stylo 3 yesterday. We went to a Cricket Store to get it. The representative made a mistake, that caused my other phone to be disconnected. Then he tried again and he said porting would work. I have waited 24 hours and porting has been unsuccessful. We also tried switching the Sim but the software crashed and they told me to wait. The error I get is Unable to send Message With Cricket Error 38. Any help is appreciated!
