The terms "cell phone" and "smartphone" are often used interchangeably, but there are some key differences. A cell phone is suitable for basic communication needs, whereas a smartphone is like a hand-held computer with internet access, video calling and more.

Basic cell phones are primarily used for calls and text messages. They often feature an alarm clock and calculator but cannot support many outside applications. However, they are extremely affordable. Smartphones have all the functionality of basic cell phones with the addition of email, social media, video streaming, GPS and specialty cameras. They range in price from budget to splurges in lines like Samsung Galaxy, Motorola Moto and Apple iPhone.

If a device is 5G compatible, it offers fast data download and upload speeds, enabling quick access to data and streaming. It can also support many connected devices at a time, making it ideal for those who frequently attend large events, such as concerts or football games.

When shopping for a new smartphone from Cricket Wireless, look for the “5G” icon in a green circle. Most new Apple, Android and Google devices are 5G compatible. This includes many iPhones, Samsung and Motorola smartphones. Once you purchase and activate your phone, you may notice “5G” in the upper right corner of your screen.
