Key Takeaways:  

  • Cricket Wireless expands international long-distance calling from 45 to 200+ countries and territories.  

  • With $10 and $15 add-on options, Cricket customers will have increased mobile-to-landline and mobile-to-mobile minutes of use.  

  • This country-specific international calling feature gives the customer a combination of simplicity, value and choice that is unique in the wireless industry. 


Cricket Wireless has expanded its International Long-Distance (ILD) service, now connecting customers to more than 200 countries and territories, up from 45. With this feature, customers no longer have to think about whether they are calling a landline or cellphone – all numbers are included! And, you can easily stay connected with the people who matter most—without depending on apps that require a strong internet connection to work. 

At Cricket Wireless, home goes beyond physical borders. This expansion redefines the adage “home is where the heart is” as “home is wherever you’re connected.”  It’s tailored to meet the needs of customers with global ties.  

How it works:1  

  • The $15 unlimited feature is available to your choice of 31 countries2

  • The $10 feature offers varying minutes of use (MOUs) for your choice of 180 countries and territories 

Even with all the apps out there, voice calls are still one of the most meaningful and reliable ways to stay connected—especially in places where internet isn’t always strong. In fact, a YouGov survey found that 69% of people mostly reach out to friends and family through voice calls or texts. Sure, free calling apps might seem convenient, but they only work well if you’ve got a strong internet connection. That’s where Cricket’s International Long Distance feature really shines—it lets you make reliable voice calls from the U.S. even if the internet on the other end isn’t great. It’s perfect for staying connected no matter where your loved ones are! 

“Our customers come from all over the world, and they want to be able to connect with their loved ones easily. We expanded our International Long-Distance plan to help them do just that,” said Shailendra Gujarati, chief marketing officer of Cricket Wireless. “This expansion is about more than just minutes; it’s about bridging distances and fostering emotional connections that matter.” 

We believe in maintaining meaningful connections, no matter where they are in the world. Visit our ILD hub to learn more about international long-distance calling, eligible countries, and territories as well as how you can add this feature to your plan.
