Manage a Cricket Wireless account

myCricket is Cricket Wireless’s account-management app for customers who want to check service details or handle routine account tasks from an Android phone. It is most useful if you already have Cricket service: the app brings account information, payments, plan options and support into one place.

Check usage and pay bills

The app lets customers view their plan and account status, check how much data remains in the billing cycle, and see how many days of service are left. It also supports bill payments through options such as cards, Cricket refill cards, gift cards and mobile payment services. These features are tied to a Cricket account; they are not a substitute for choosing a wireless plan or paying for service.

Account tools, with a carrier connection

You can use myCricket to look at available plans and features, find answers to common questions, or seek help with a problem. The app also offers a route for people with unlocked phones to explore switching to Cricket. Its value therefore depends on whether Cricket is your carrier, or you are considering becoming a customer.

Cricket Wireless LLC is the developer. The app has a 4.6-star rating from about 294,000 reviews and more than 50 million installs. Those figures show broad use, but they do not tell you whether it suits your particular account needs.

What to consider before using it

The app is closely connected to managing a mobile account, so payment and plan choices may lead to spending on Cricket service. The supplied information does not specify whether the app shows advertising, offers in-app purchases, or requests particular phone permissions. Check its current Google Play disclosures before deciding what access to grant. If you only need to make a one-off payment or check a bill, consider whether you prefer using Cricket’s other account channels instead.
