Cricket Wireless in one paragraph
AT&T's prepaid arm. Retail stores available. Best for shoppers who want AT&T coverage at prepaid prices and families who value taxes-included pricing.
As of April 2026, Cricket retired Basic / Smart / More and replaced them with a four-tier lineup: Sensible 10GB ($30/mo with AutoPay; $35 first month), Select Unlimited ($35/mo with AutoPay; $40 first month), Smart Unlimited ($45/mo with AutoPay; $50 first month) and Supreme Unlimited ($55/mo with AutoPay; $60 first month). Those recurring advertised prices require AutoPay and include taxes & fees.

- Retail store presence (unusual for prepaid)
- Owned by AT&T — runs on the AT&T network
