Yes cricket wireless I am leaving. Bye
No it's not. This is for the grandfathered plan of 5 lines for $100. They don't offer it for new customers and they are retiring it.
Dude read before you open your mouth. New customers are not offered the 5/$100 anymore. Whoever is on it will have to switch to 5/$125.

No I'm a few days out and they said it will start the day after the cycle ends.

My guess, from reading posts on Reddit is that a family plan for 5 lines on their basic unlimited for $100, will have $20-30 in fees. So, if that is close to accurate, it appears not to be a saving from the Cricket 5 for $125 plan.

there is an app called Ad it Up for android phones and you can earn cricket credits really easy!
I started it in Oct 2021 just for gift cards , but saw all 5 lines were eligible to play so i dug out the old android prepaid phones from my Viggle Days and I havent paid for cricket service since Nov last year.
I was able to earn $125 in cricket credits in about 15-20 days in the beginning , but now like any rewards app , they have cut the bonus points by 2/3rds. so will be looking at $125 credit every 45 days or so with minimum effort. if you want to do alot more surverys you could get enough points every month.
If July they make me switch to $125 , I can live with that no problems.
also since this is prepaid , its probably best to wait and change near the end of the billing cycle to avoid pro-rated charges for a full month I would think.

Highly depends where you are. I tried Tmobile twice in the past 6 years and had too many issues. Last time the phone, which i got from Tmobile when I switched, would lose data randomly for 15 to 20 mins at a time a few times every other day. Tried customer service many times, even went to the store a few times and could not get it to work right (they tried changing the network settings and resetting the service on their end.) I even got a different phone with a discount they gave me and still had issues. And this was when I used to live and work in downtown Phoenix. Switched to cricket and for the most part it's waaaay better. It can get slow in crowded places but it always works and when I go out of town it gets reception where Tmobile did not.
