So I had Metro Pcs and needed to switch 4 lines over to cricket. I called the store and was told it would be $9.99 for a sim card plus a $25 activation fee for each line on top of 1st month’s service. So taking a chance I bought 4 of these sim cards while they were on sale for $5.99.I received them the next day and installed one into my main phone and did the online activation. It was a little tricky signing up, and I wasn’t sure how to add and activate the other lines on my new account. Not wanting to mess things up, I decided to call Cricket and a representative finished the whole process of adding and activating the remaining lines for me. It took about an hour, but everything worked out smoothly and I didn’t have to pay the extra $25 per line activation fee!

Amazon always has these SIM cards on sale so you’ll find them anywhere from $2.95-4.99. I have 6 lines with cricket and purchased all 6 sim cards from Amazon. If you order directly from Cricket website they charge you $10 and it’s a pain to order just the sim and not a phone. They will also charge you a $35 activation fee per line (same thing in the cricket store)I purchased all of my phones on Amazon along with the sim cards.It was easy to go online and activate them and choose my plan ( 6 lines unlimited data with no throttling for $160) You can’t beat it. Cricket is owned by AT&T and where I’m located you need either AT&T or Verizon.Lastly the sim card comes perforated sonit will for all 3 common sizes.

As the title says, I’m writing this to be silly; it’s a SIM card. There’s nothing super special about it, other than I had to buy one because Cricket upgraded their network and apparently the prior one wasn’t going to remain compatible.It’s a tiny piece of plastic, sure, but it’s not like you get choices with SIM cards. Most cell phones today accept one size, this one – the smallest dang SIM card that’s made. The SIM card that barely has plastic around the gold contacts.It’s cut and shaped correctly to fit … well, every phone. On the off-chance you have a phone that takes a larger card and is still compatible with Cricket, it comes with adapters to make up the difference and secure the card where it belongs in the tray.Short version? If Cricket is your carrier and you don’t have a SIM card, this is what you buy. There aren’t options.

The sim card arrived before the scheduled date, there is one little detail but it is on cricket plans.If you want to get a only data plan, at first instance you won’t be allowed to do that from the web page, you have to call to cricket customer services, what I did is to get on of the plans offered in the web page during activation and then I changed it to 100gb simply data through cricket app.The other issue that I found, is that for data sharing to other device, you must have a hotspot only device, you cannot share data if you are using a phone or tablet. I tried with a galaxy tab s4. I checked the compatibily, on the web page using the IMEI and it said it was compatible, but i was not able to share data, I called to customer services, and they said that you must install the sim card in a hotspot only devices. So if that is your intention you need to spend some time and money to get a compatible hotspot, but if you no need to share data, it works flawlessly

I ordered this and received it quickly. I’d read all reviews and a few had problems so I went onto cricketwireless.com and got on the “chat” line. They flawlessly walked me through setting the new phone up with this SIM card. I highly recommend using the CRICKET CHAT.

Nothing much to say about this other than it works. Easy to use and easy to install. My local Cricket places charge you $25 for a sim and you can get that for less than 5 bucks on Amazon. Everything arrived in one piece. Definitely recommended!Value for money 5/5 *****. Easy to install 5/5 *****. Easy to use 5/5 *****. My Recommendation 5/5 *****.

I bought a boxed Cricket Moto G6 Forge with the intention to upgrade my old Moto E2. However, I discovered too late that the G6 SIM slot only accepts NANO SIMs, while my Moto E2 uses a Micro SIM, which cannot be split into a smaller nano card. The Cricket agent I chatted with told me I would have to replace the old SIM with the universal kit (her at Amazon called “Cricket Wireless 3-in-1 SIM Kit “) to do the upgrade.I went to Cricket’s site, but it didn’t allow me to purchase the universal sim kit without adding a plan, and all I wanted was to be able to upgrade to the new phone. Which was odd, since the site says that “If your SIM card is lost or damaged or you want to switch to another device that uses a different size SIM card, you can quickly order one online. Simply log in to My Account and select get a new SIM card.”Unfortunately that information is woefully outdated. When I clicked the link next to my old Moto E in the “Plans & Services” section, it said “We can’t replace SIMs online.” Which is kind of a bother since there are no physical Cricket stores in Puerto Rico, where I currently live. Actually, you can’t even find neither Cricket phones nor BYOP cards at the local Walmarts here, which is extremely odd.So, fast forward to another chat, and the agent told me I could order the kit from Amazon, which came in three sizes and thus could use it to move from the old phone to the newer one. Once the kit arrived by mail, I chatted with Cricket again. They suggested at first to use the automated system at their site.However, because of my earlier experience (where the automated system only processed NEW accounts with NEW plans, not phone upgrades), and not wanting to waste any more time jumping through hoops, I insisted I preferred that the agent walked me though the process.After 5-10 more minutes, the upgrade was complete.So, it was a long wait, but I’m fully satisfied not only with the kit but with Cricket’s customer service.

Installed and was able to activate on Cricket’s website in minutes. The SIM comes in one larger piece and can be broken down into 3 smaller versions of the SIM card. This was very easy to do. Cricket’s directions were very clear.

Switched over from a regular at&t account to cricket that we were paying about 150.00 for two phones per month. The switch from at&t was seamless and took maybe ten minutes on the phone with their support. Their customer service is easily by far among the best and most knowledgable that I have EVER had the pleasure of dealing with.There’s some costs associated with other methods of activation but the phone activation was free for us when we lit these sims up, so try the phone activation first. I was pleasantly surprised at how smoothly it went.We went from about 150.00 for two phones to 100.00 for 4 phones per month. It was so cheap that I decided to migrate our old landline to cricket and got a fourth line with them just casue we could and it was only ten bucks a month.It’s one of those experiences where you don’t mind paying the provider of the service every month because their support is great and they deliver value for the money you pay and do it all at such a fair reasonable cost – especially in comparison to what we were paying previously with at&t.Couldn’t be happier.
