The $95 plan doesn't include tax and fees. If you just use the 4/100 from Cricket , the taxes and fees are included.
That would be good, if the ATT network wasnt saturated in my area.

Over 7 years now on Cricket family plan very happy ( next to flawless ) the only other carrier I have considered is Visible by Verizon, Any thoughts Visible ?

https://www.visible.com/plan/

I love Visible ran by Verizon unlimited everything for $40 with unlimited hotspot included. I have tested the hotspot and it worked well to steam a movie, when we are traveling and stay in a hotel, the wifi is trash, I use the hotspot, shared also with my ipad.Very rare that I don't have a good signal. Unless I go out in the Boonies. I hope this helps. Visible is always offering good deals on main home page. Visible also offers party pay which you can join for free with other members which makes your bill drop to $25 for unlimited everything monthly with free hotspot. Great deal!! No complaints except for the scheduled Matinence which can affect you every once in a while, Or Outages you didn't know about.

Can you use Visible on unlocked Tracfones since they use CDMA? Nothing against Visible, but my family don't use alot of data so I am looking something even cheaper mint mobile for 4gb for 15 a month plus tax.

That's the plan I'm on

Still a great value IMO especially since Cricket got rid of their speed caps on these plans...$25 a month for unlimited, plus some Canada and Mexico calling, etc.
ive been on this one for a while - brother in law switched to our plan just after they stopped the 5/100, I have been bitter bout it since, kinda happy to see they are finally kiboshing it-

but honestly you are very hard-pressed to find any another plan as cheap all fees inclusive - with kroger offer for service cards you can regularly get ~15% off w/ CC CB, so the net cost is no more than $21/month - outside of pre paying for a year of service with something like Mint there is no better/easier/cheaper fully unlimited plan to be had - to me its not even worth the hassle of switching around to potentially save $5 a month and lock up a year of money

Totally agree. Best value when you have 4 or 5 lines, no doubt

has anyone gone from 5 lines for $100 down to 4 lines for $100 since the notification?
do you have to call in to "drop" a line or visit a store?

you have to call in or do it though chat

i chatted with the rep and canceled the line immediately and then upgraded the other 4 lines at the start of my next bill cycle.

Have two 5x$100 plans still at $100 but due date is july 8th. I guess its coming soon. When is the most cost effective day to change plans to the 5/125... like one day before the next payment ie August 7th?
