The Phone service, The One I think everyone should have it’s just relaxing as listening to the Crickets at night.. Just smooth sound..

Got me set up in just a few minutes and the instructions were straightforward and intuitive. ### 5/5 — To be determined… *2026-04-20, version 1.10.11* …had great feedback from friends about Cricket. Started my 14 day free trial today. Fingers crossed🤞 ### 4/5 — Love it *2026-04-17, version 1.10.11* This service is awesome ### 4/5 — NSYC *2026-04-17, version 1.10.11* Why Canʻt Delivered Apple Watchs fit the Bill. ### 5/5 — Awesome carrier *2026-04-13, version 1.10.11* I love Cricket ### 1/5 — Don’t try *2026-04-01, version 1.10.11* It didn’t work kept saying something went wrong on our end and when I refreshed and tried to sign back in it said I already had the free trial ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Error *2026-08-22, version 1.10.13* Says verify age but won’t let me ### 1/5 — Did not work *2026-08-17, version 1.10.13* Said there was an error . Could not sign up no email either ### 1/5 — Doesn’t work *2026-08-06, version 1.10.13* Can’t leave a review if you don’t leave a good review Put all my info in said my phone was unlocked and compatible then when I a get started it say I’ve already had my free trail which I have not. Just a waste of time ### 1/5 — Could not activate *2026-08-06, version 1.10.13* Never got the activation email. Sophie at cricket support says too bad. So never got to try it. Tried another device as suggested. Nothing but errors. Maybe good app but horrible company with zero customer service ### 1/5 — Very UNPROFESSIONAL *2026-07-30, version 1.10.12* This company has given me more stress and headaches since day one. I don’t know how but I was even left with one day (1) remaining of service with them to unlock my phone from them. How the f**l does this happen? One word for this company… ‘Karma’ remember it Kricket. ### 1/5 — App is fine but company terrible *2026-06-23, version 1.10.11* After using the cricket free trial app I signed up and got a new device. Despite being eligible for unlocking for past seven days they are still unable to resolve whatever their internal problem is and support will just lie to you to try and make you go away. Avoid like the plague! ### 1/5 — Trial *2026-06-10, version 1.10.11* I was trying to activate the trial and “something went wrong “. When I tried to start again, I got a message stating that I had already used my trial….not a good sign for how things work on Cricket ### 1/5 — Everything checked out except……. *2026-06-07, version 1.10.11* I tried many times to get the 14 day trial to work because I’m tired of paying high bills for just two phones with Verizon. Everything checked out, phone is unlocked & can use e-sim but when it was time to activate, error after error unexplainable. Like the only thing keeping me from switching is knowing if the service is gonna actually be as good as AT&T since using their towers. Oh well. Guess I’ll try researching some other companies more. ### 1/5 — Worse experience ever *2026-04-26, version 1.10.11* I set it up and selected es in and it gave me a number and said 3 gb of internet and nothing I try to call and it says something when wrong after setting the free trial I don’t recommend it at all! ### 1/5 — Wrong for me *2026-04-10, version 1.10.11* It would not let me set it up if I couldn’t switch my number ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — My bill *2026-08-20, version 1.10.13* Thank you so much cricket for this feature, this is helping my life tremendously, thanks cricket ### 5/5 — Very good app *2026-08-04, version 1.10.13* TryCricket is definitely one of my favorites a lot better than TextFree or TextNow and cricket is a well-known service phone service. I love it and it’s very accessible too. ### 5/5 — Perfect *2026-07-25, version 1.10.11* Timing ### 5/5 — Love it *2026-07-15, version 1.10.11* Works great ### 5/5 — It works where Verizon don’t *2026-07-12, version 1.10.11* It works at my workplace where other carrier don’t ### 5/5 — Very easy setup *2026-06-20, version 1.10.11* Feels like the app was made to be for esims and I love it very simple quick setup literally minutes ### 5/5 — Free trail *2026-06-19, version 1.10.11* Love that you give us a chance to see if this is a right carrier for me👍👌 ### 5/5 — Impressed *2026-06-10, version 1.10.11* I’m super impressed with this phone service I attempted to switch over carriers due to not being able to pay my service fee and they ended up taking my money and then telling me that my phone was a compatible so then I was left broke with no money to pay my bill at all I was reaching out until I realized that cricket has a tryCricket trial to which I have now found my favorite phone service. Thank you so much cricket you guys are awesome. ### 5/5 — Great service *2026-05-26, version 1.10.11* Best service ever they save my life totally recommend ### 5/5 — Switching back *2026-05-24, version 1.10.11* I’ve always loved cricket idk why I ever left them!
