Cricket

Cricket Communications has recently announced a $5 monthly service for unlimited mobile video downloads.

Customers can watch clips of 1 to 4 minutes in length, such as music videos, sports news, movie trailers and more, without being charged for data transferred.

As we’re living in the “social web world,” Cricket included the special feature to allow users to search and make video recommendations.

The service is available now with any Cricket plan and works on selected handsets through a WAP browser.

Commenting on the new service launch, Cricket’s Scott Edwards said: “This service provides customers a new opportunity to personalize their handsets. Whether they opt for Reggaeton videos or YU-GI-OH! clips, all customers can appreciate the value of unlimited downloads for one low flat rate.”
