Top 5 Reasons T-Mobile and Metro PCS Customers Should Switch Now to Cricket Wireless

ATLANTA, Aug. 22, 2014 /PRNewswire/ -- Cricket Wireless is offering T-Mobile and Metro PCS customers a $100 bill credit and five great reasons to switch. The $100 bill credit* offer is available from Aug. 24 to Oct. 19, 2014, at Cricket stores nationwide and online.  There is no limit on the number of lines a customer can switch to Cricket, receiving a $100 bill credit for each line transferred.

The new Cricket Wireless experience offers customers:

1. More 4G LTE coverage than T-Mobile and Metro PCS, period
2. Taxes and fees included – no surprises, the price you see is the price you pay
3. A free smartphone every year with Cricket Rewards**
4. Plans starting at $35 a month after $5 credit for using auto pay ***
5. No annual contracts

With Cricket's simple affordable pricing plans, a $100 bill credit equals more than two months of free service with the Basic Plan at $35 (after a $5 credit for using auto pay) and the Smart Plan at $45 (after a $5 auto pay credit). Customers who sign up with the Pro Plan at $55 (after $5 auto pay credit) get the equivalent of nearly two months of service free.

"T-Mobile and Metro PCS customers looking to switch will find the new Cricket a smart choice," said Cricket vice president and chief marketing officer Janna Ducich. "We give consumers straightforward, affordable pricing, offer nationwide 4G LTE coverage, and reward their loyalty.
