Cricket has expanded its coverage again and is now available in Milwaukee and Madison, Wisconsin as well as Racine and Kenosha areas. In total, 2.4 million people living in the Milwaukee metropolitan area can now purchase Cricket’s unlimited services at five retail stores and more than 100 dealers.
Commenting on the announcement, Leap Wireless’s president and CEO (Leap is the owner of Cricket) Doug Hutcheson said: “Launching service in southern Wisconsin is our first step toward building a significant Cricket footprint in the upper Midwest, which will ultimately include coverage stretching from Milwaukee to Chicago, a market that is scheduled to launch in the first half of next year. We are pleased to provide residents with a contract-free, no-credit-check wireless service, as well as create more than 200 new jobs in the market. We believe that people will see the extraordinary value in both our wireless voice and broadband service offerings.”
Cricket rate plans range from $30 to $60 per month and include unlimited anytime minutes, U.S. long distance, text and picture messaging, text to Mexico, mobile web, directory assistance, nationwide roaming minutes and more.
