How to Change My Plan

Ready to update your phone plan? Great! It's easy to switch to a different Cricket pay as you go phone plan in My Account online or through the myCricket App. See our step-by-step instructions below.

Changing Your Phone Plan

Our no contract phone plans cater to different needs, and we are here to help. Changes to your plan take effect immediately, or you can choose to have your changes start on the first day of your next monthly cycle. How is that for helpful?

A few things to keep in mind when changing your rate plan:

  • You can still only change your phone plan twice per billing cycle.
  • Changing your rate plan may affect your Group Save discounts. Your discounts for the 4th and 5th lines may be reduced to $20 each.
  • Only one plan change per phone number can be scheduled to start at the next billing cycle. This can be either a rate plan change or a features change. For accounts with multiple lines, you must change the plan and features for each line individually.
  • Plan changes scheduled to start at the beginning of your next month's billing cycle count as one of your two changes for your next cycle. This includes plan downgrades. However you can change your mind as many times as you need until the new billing cycle begins and the change is applied.

Tip: Schedule changes prior to 3 days before the start of the next month's service.

If your account is suspended or your line has been reported lost or stolen, you can still change your plan and remove features.

Note on International Features

  • All Cricket plans starting at $40/mo already include unlimited calls, texts and picture messages across the U.S.
  • Cricket Unlimited plans (and $50/mo+ grandfathered plans) already include unlimited calling and unlimited text, picture, and video messaging (SMS and MMS) to and from landlines and mobile phones in Mexico, Canada*, and the U.S., plus high-speed data access while traveling in Mexico or Canada. (Speeds reduced when you use up your plan's high-speed allowance. Primary usage must occur in the U.S. Calls, texts, and data usage while in Canada cannot exceed 50% of total usage.) View important details.

*Calls and messages from the U.S. to the Northern Territories of Canada not included.
