Att is probably rated better. I personally am happy with sprint
Really.  I always thought sprint was better

Att service wins by far.

i have cricket for a few months already and they are great ! its better from sprint/t-mobile dono about verizon
you get 10GB LTE for $40 per month (with 5 lines) but if you are smart you can do what im doing... i start the month on the $20 plan, after using up the 2.5GB i switch to the $30 plan and i get another 5GB ..! after i use up the 5GB i switch back to the $20 plan and i get another 2.5GB !! at the end of the game i pay only $25 per month for 10GB LTE ! because i was half of the month on the $20 plan and  half on the $30 plan they charge a total of $25!
i dont know how many times you can change plan but 2 times for sure! i do that trick already for a few months

How do you change a plan?
cricketwireless.com/my-account click on your phone number drop down and then click on view details/change plan
or you can call 611 from your phone or 1-800-CRICKET (274-2538) to ask a agent to do it for you

btw i just spoke with them and they said that i can change plan 3 times per month !
that means that u can get 15GB LTE for approx $25 per month !
or 30GB LTE for approx $35 per month !!

I have cricket in boro park service is excellent as long as you can handle download speeds capped at 8 gbps, I switched my wife back in January when they had a promotion of $100 credit on lines ported from companies other then AT&T. Only problem was that I had AT&T so I switched to t-mobile with the $2 a day plan for a week and got the $100 credit.

Original AT&T I didn't use data so I don't know but I'm pretty sure it should be closer to 25gbps or possibly even higher.

you think the difference is only in the LTE speed ? What about the talk ?

The group rate only kicks in on 2nd month. it has the great att service though you don't get the full LTE speeds. you get 8mbs. after 2.5 GB they really slow it down to turtle pace. as with any MVNO you are strictly on ATT service and cant roam. CS is known to be pretty terrible though in my experience live chat has bean OK. there is a referral program which benefits both parties. i think its like $25 per account after having account open for 2 months up to 10 times per calendar year. please pm me if you plan on using them and i'll give you my referral

Because you have to deal with everyone who doesn't have it.

I think that if you open at a cricket store all lines together you will have the group save even on the first month, but they may charge sales tax on the phones plus a activation fee.

After 2.5gb LTE its really slow but you can then change your plan back and forth as I mentioned earlier ...!!

i'm not sure if you'll save on the first month but i know that in store they charge you $10 for the sim and $25 activation per phone. Online its $1 for sim and no activation fee. i have not tried this but i heard that possibly in store if you activate the $50 plan they may waive the activation and then you can downgrade next day to the $40

If anyone has experience activating in store pls chime in

Just a heads up for anybody porting numbers from post paid plans, wait until the last day of your month before the new charges hit, to port your number. Because your previous carrier won't refund the charges easily.

The lte speed of 8mbps is more than adequate for most people. That's fast enough for streaming video seamlessly
