Cricket Wireless Initial Payment and Auto Pay Authorization Terms and Conditions

Email this page

Revised August 2026

 

Parties. In this Initial Payment and Auto Pay Authorization (this "Authorization"), the words "Cricket," "We," "Us" and "Our" mean Cricket Wireless LLC and its affiliated companies, successors and assigns, and the words "You" and "Your" mean the person providing or designating the Payment Method (as defined below) information and any other person who is authorized to make purchases or obtain services from Us to be charged to the Payment Method.

 

Initial Payment Authorization. By manually signing (including a manual signature captured electronically) or checking a box or clicking a button relating to a link to this Authorization during Your transaction with Us today as Your electronic signature ("Your Signature"), You authorize Us to charge to the Payment Method any amount due today in connection with Your purchase. Your Payment Method could be charged as early as today.

 

Auto Pay Authorization. By Your Signature, You also authorize Us to automatically charge to the Payment Method amounts due each service period ("Auto Pay"), including amounts set forth in any payment notices that may be sent to You.

 

Declined Payments. If a charge to the Payment Method is declined, including for insufficient funds, We may re-submit the charge up to the number of times permitted by network rules, and We also reserve the right to immediately terminate services.

 

Payment Method. "Payment Method" means the bank account, credit card, debit card or other payment method information (1) You provide to Us during Your transaction today (including by swiping a credit card or debit card or scanning a voided check) for purposes of this Authorization or (2) You previously provided to Us (a "Stored Payment Method") that You designate today to be charged under this Authorization.

 

Payment Method Information You Provide Today. If You provide payment method information to Us today, You authorize Us to store that payment information, including for purposes of this Authorization. You certify that You are the owner of or have authorization to use any payment method information You provide today, and You are authorized, and have authority to authorize Us, to make charges to and permit Us to store the payment method information You provide.

You agree to keep any payment method information You provide today up to date. You can update (e.g., give Us a new expiration date for a card account) or change (e.g., give Us account numbers for a different bank account or card account) any payment method information You provide today by logging into Your online account with Cricket or calling Cricket support, which updated or changed information will become the Payment Method for this Authorization. You acknowledge that We may obtain updated information regarding any payment method You provide today from Your financial institution (an "Updater Service") and that any such updated payment information likewise will become the Payment Method for this Authorization.

Also, if You instead designate a Stored Payment Method for this Authorization today (as discussed below), You can at any time thereafter provide Us with different payment method information to be used for this Authorization by logging into Your online account with Cricket or calling Cricket support, which different information will become the Payment Method for this Authorization instead of the Stored Payment Method You previously designated.

 

Stored Payment Method You Designate Today. If instead You designate a Stored Payment Method for this Authorization today, You authorize Us to make a copy of the Stored Payment Method You designate and store the copy, which copy We will use for purposes of this Authorization. We also use updater services in connection with Stored Payment Methods, which also update any copy We made and stored. Please be aware that, if You update the Stored Payment Method You designate or We or You remove or cancel that Stored Payment Method from Your records with Us, We will continue to retain and use the copy of the Stored Payment Method We made, as it may be updated by any updater service from time to time, for purposes of this Authorization.

 

Revocation. This Authorization and the Auto Pay service will remain in effect until revoked by You, Your financial institution or Cricket. You may revoke this Authorization by logging into Your online account with Cricket or calling the customer support number listed on our website, which revocation will take effect if and when Cricket has had a reasonable opportunity to act on it before a payment is processed. If You revoke this Authorization, or Cricket or Your financial institution cannot process Your automatic payment, You remain responsible for paying amounts due each service period, including by making payments by check or other payment method on or before each due date.

 

General. Auto Pay cancellation or unsuccessful payment may cause an interruption of service and additional reactivation fees. Promotional discounts, credits, or incentives that require Auto Pay will be removed if Auto Pay is revoked or otherwise terminated. If your Auto Pay payment is unsuccessful and your Account goes into suspend status, any Auto Pay credits sitting in your Account will be forfeited. You release Cricket from any and all claims arising from Your use of Auto Pay. If You are entering into this Authorization online, please print or save to Your computer, tablet, smartphone, or other device a copy of this Authorization for Your records.
