Cricket Communications, which we know as a provider of unlimited wireless services, has recently announced a launch of its unlimited wireless services in the greater Philadelphia area. As a result, Philadelphians are getting an access to an affordable, unlimited 3G wireless voice and broadband services.
Cricket’s coverage area expands from Philadelphia and the surrounding suburbs, across South Jersey to Atlantic City and down to Wilmington in Northern Delaware. The Cricket footprint, which covers approximately 4,500 square miles and nearly 6.3 million covered POPs, brings Cricket’s total national covered POPs to approximately 83.8 million.
Cricket rate plans range from $30 to $60 per month and include unlimited anytime minutes, unlimited U.S. long distance, unlimited text and picture messaging, unlimited text to Mexico, unlimited Mobile Web, unlimited directory assistance, nationwide roaming minutes and more — all without requiring signed contracts or credit checks. Plus, the expansion into the new market will also bring more than 1,450 jobs to the area, which is a good thing to hear in the tough economic times we’re livin’.
