ATLANTA, Oct. 28, 2015 /PRNewswire-HISPANIC PR WIRE/ -- Cricket has expanded its international offerings and phone portfolio once again. Now, customers on Cricket Smart ($50/mo) and Pro ($60/mo) plans can use their rate plan data in Mexico and Canada at no extra charge.

Plus Cricket will be adding the IDOL 3 to our smartphone line up -- from one of the most popular mobile phone manufacturers in Latin America and now the U.S., ALCATEL ONETOUCH. Available in stores and online, starting November 6, the IDOL 3 is a Cricket exclusive and features the ALCATEL ONETOUCH Mix app – giving users an immersive music experience on a 4G LTE network that has more coverage nationwide than T-Mobile, MetroPCS, Sprint, and Boost. Customers can listen to music directly from the app and add effects, transition songs, sync, mix, scratch or insert samples just like a DJ!
"Our customers don't want limits – they want to be able to call relatives, send selfies or listen to the latest hits when traveling across North America*. They want a seamless experience and Cricket delivers," said Janna Ducich, chief marketing officer, Cricket Wireless. "Our new data roaming feature is another in a long line of benefits that makes Cricket a smart choice for consumers who want great service, flexibility and value."
