Here at Cricket Wireless, keeping you safe and connected is a top priority - whether you visit our website, talk to us on the phone, or walk into a store. Here’s the latest on our COVID-19 response.
Need in-person assistance? Most stores are open 11-7 (M-Sat) and 12 – 5 (Sun). Check our Store Locator to find a nearby location and the latest updates to hours.
Helping Customers
- Highly encourage all customers to wear a face covering in our stores, even if not mandated by state/local ordinances
- Disinfect workspaces after every customer interaction and frequently sanitize common areas
- Install plexi-glass at sales stations
- Wipe down all displays and hard surfaces multiple times per day
- Follow directions provided by the CDC and other health organizations
- Accept a limited number of customers at a time and using recommended distance markers to help align with the six-foot spacing guidelines
We now offer check-in service at our Cricket retail stores. This allows us to understand your service needs, hold your space in line, and prep your order all before you meet one of our friendly sales advocates. The process is quite simple. Once you have arrived and parked look for a ‘Check- In’ sign on the exterior of our store. Scan the barcode located on the sign or text the number listed. A sales advocate will ask a few questions via text message to understand the nature of your visit and let you know your position in line. When it’s your turn, you can enter the store for exceptional service or the advocate can help you curbside at select locations. Visit Store Locator to see if curbside service is available in your area.
We’ll continue to update our safety practices as the situation evolves. Thank you for your understanding and cooperation, and for being a valued customer. Most of all, stay safe Cricket nation.
