5G is the fifth generation in wireless technology. Available on all Cricket Wireless phone and data plans, it promises to be a more advanced network—faster, more responsive, and highly reliable. Cricket is laying the foundation for a continuously improving network, launching new devices and building more cell sites to change the way you talk, text, and connect.
The potential of 5G is enormous. As previous wireless technologies, 5G will change our lives in ways we haven’t ever considered. Before 5G, 2G allowed us to text, 3G brought us smartphones, and 4G lets us stream video from anywhere. 5G capabilities are expected to unleash a wave of innovation.
In the future, 5G will open the world to:
- Self-driving cars
- Improved mobile multi-player gaming
- Interactive personalized AR/VR experiences

To access Cricket’s 5G network you’ll need a 5G smartphone. Cricket continues to add more 5G smartphones throughout the year.
5G is included for no additional charge on all phone and Simply Data Plans.
5G will not replace 4G any time soon. Your 5G device will also work on the Cricket 4G LTE network. If you are on our $60/mo. Unlimited Plan, you will receive our fastest speeds available on our network.
