Say Hello to Summer With a New Smartphone.

8 Great Ways to Get Deals on Cell Phones and Plans

1. Shop cell phone plan rates - while this goes without saying, there can be big rate differences between carriers. With Cricket cell phone plans you can get some of the best plan rates, with high-speed data access starting at only $30/mo.
2. Avoid annual contracts - being locked into an annual phone contract can cost you in the long run if you aren't getting the service or savings you want
3. Get a multi-line discount when you share your account with friends and family - with Cricket's family phone plans you can get big discounts for multi-line accounts.
4. Shop cell phone deals -  when you switch cell phone carriers, you can often get a new phone at a reduced price; check out Cricket's current deals listed above or our smartphones page for other offers
5. Auto Pay - with Cricket's Auto Pay discount, you get can get $5 off your cell phone bill every month (not available with Group Save discounts)
6. Get the right plan for your usage - if you get too little data, you might have to buy an add-on - or if you get too much, you are overbuying, both of which can be expensive. With Cricket, we have a variety of plans to meet your needs from our 2 GB plan to our Unlimited plans
7. Go for prepaid inclusive pricing - with Cricket, taxes are included in our monthly plan prices, so you don't have sneaky extra costs that surprise you. Note: Cricket does have some fees for things like late payments. You can view all fees on our charges and fees support page.
8. Get cell phone insurance for expensive phones - if you have a $700 phone, losing or breaking it could really hurt, which is why cell phone insurance could be well worth it
