After being a Cricket customer for over 2 and a half years, I'm wondering what the incentive is to stay? I would like to upgrade my phone, but every other company out there will give me MUCH better deals on a new phone. Additionally, Cricket is going to charge me an extra $25 to upgrade? Is that just a 'privilege of doing business with you' charge? I guess there's no real reason to stay since I'm going to save over $200 (plus the additional $25) just to go to another company. I understand that getting new customers is important, but you'd think there was some kind of benefit for being a loyal customer for so long. Oh well, looks like I'm off to another company. Maybe I'll be back in 2-3 years when you'll treat me like a 'valued new customer' again...

Carl, Have you looked into a new service. I will NOT pay a $25 to upgrade our phones. My husband's is on its last leg. This is the first time I've looked at getting a new phone. My kids have Straight Talk and have unlimited data (which we don't need) But, I guess we will have to buy 2 new phones and change our service. Boy, I feel dumb for recommending Cricket for the last couple of years!!
Any suggestions on a new service?
I feel the same way. I'm sitting here scratching my head at why new customers can get a good deal on a good, new phone, but as someone who has been using Cricket for YEARS cannot afford to buy a new, decent phone.
In addition, I only have the one I have now because it was recommended to me in store as having a good camera (the whole reason I bought a new phone after having my old one for years), and the camera on this phone is absolutelyyy terrible. Now I can't afford to get a new one, as I would have to pay 2x as much as a new customer. Plus a bs upgrade fee.
Think I'll be leaving Cricket.

Every Cricket customer has the opportunity to take advantage of new customer offers at the time they join Cricket. After that we offer upgrade discounts, monthly rate plan discounts, and a refer-a-friend program that allows you to earn up to $250 in bill credit every year.
