    Cricket also tries to charge you a bunch of fees to pay your fees. They’re predatory towards poor people.

      I don’t understand? They have flat rates. But will take 5 bucks off if you do autopay.

      I did notice they charged my card even though I had a negative balance (aka a credit). Which is odd.

      That said their onboarding process is ridiculous and confusing. Even for me. And they try real hard to charge you 9 dollars for an esim.

      But the fees are included in my monthly service charge.

        It has been years since I tried Cricket, but back then they wanted to charge $5 to pay your bill unless you did it a very particular way. I think it was either pay by check or enroll in auto pay. Plus they had fees for a bunch of other stuff. They charged me $5 on my bill once because I went to the store to ask questions about my bill. Maybe they’re better now, but I would never try again to find out. Plus the actual service was awful. There were dead spots all over my city.

          Yeah dont get me wrong. Theres a reason i moved to crickett but havent moved the rest of my family yet, though most of the savings come with multiple accounts.

          Like I said i dont like their onboarding process, having to use a burner account/number to get started, then setup an actual account. I also dont really trust their security, specifically with porting and IMEI etc.

          That said, their billing is pretty straight forward. Its x dollars a month (60 for my plan) and if you do autopay they will credit 5 bucks. Like I said though, i had a -65 dollar balance, so unsure why i was even charged, i had a credit. And their support is total dogshit. LIke call at noon on a tuesday and still wait 45 minutes through 4 queues to talk to someone that just wants you off the line.

          But their billing is pretty straightforward.
