    I come here anytime I need to purchase more sim cards. They are way higher at the store. Love the ease of activation and quality.

    5.0 out of 5 stars Nice, but there is one little detail
    Reviewed in the United States on January 13, 2022
    The sim card arrived before the scheduled date, there is one little detail but it is on cricket plans.
    If you want to get a only data plan, at first instance you won't be allowed to do that from the web page, you have to call to cricket customer services, what I did is to get on of the plans offered in the web page during activation and then I changed it to 100gb simply data through cricket app.
    The other issue that I found, is that for data sharing to other device, you must have a hotspot only device, you cannot share data if you are using a phone or tablet. I tried with a galaxy tab s4. I checked the compatibily, on the web page using the IMEI and it said it was compatible, but i was not able to share data, I called to customer services, and they said that you must install the sim card in a hotspot only devices. So if that is your intention you need to spend some time and money to get a compatible hotspot, but if you no need to share data, it works flawlessly

    I was paying T-Mobile $79.99 a month for service that was always dropping calls or not available. The Cricket customer service had to help me set it up for $40.00 for better service that still hasn't dropped a call in a month of usage. Very pleased with this purchase.

    It was problematic to set up service using their website account management. But customer service addressed the issue.

    5.0 out of 5 stars DIY SIM Card for Cricket Wireless worked perfectly
    Reviewed in the United States on September 30, 2017
    Purchased for four dollars, this was just what I needed to activate my unlocked Sony Xperia XZ1 smartphone on the Cricket Wireless network. The kit is the same one that Cricket would send to you if you purchased a phone from them or ordered service with a BYOD (Bring Your Own Device) phone.

    Inside the activation, the kit is the SIM card that you will need to put into your phone. Be sure to check first with Cricket to make sure your phone will work on the network, and if you're going to be porting your existing number to Cricket - don't cancel service on your other phone before doing so. (I switched from Virgin Mobile to Cricket and needed my account number and security code to complete the transfer.)

    If you get a new number from Cricket or if you use your old number it's still a fairly easy process. You can do all the activation online as long as you don't run into problems putting the SIM into the phone. If so, you may need to take this kit and the phone to a local Cricket dealer to get yourself started.

    5.0 out of 5 stars Used it to upgrade to a new phone
    Reviewed in the United States on August 8, 2020
    I bought a boxed Cricket Moto G6 Forge with the intention to upgrade my old Moto E2. However, I discovered too late that the G6 SIM slot only accepts NANO SIMs, while my Moto E2 uses a Micro SIM, which cannot be split into a smaller nano card. The Cricket agent I chatted with told me I would have to replace the old SIM with the universal kit (her at Amazon called "Cricket Wireless 3-in-1 SIM Kit ") to do the upgrade.

    I went to Cricket's site, but it didn't allow me to purchase the universal sim kit without adding a plan, and all I wanted was to be able to upgrade to the new phone. Which was odd, since the site says that "If your SIM card is lost or damaged or you want to switch to another device that uses a different size SIM card, you can quickly order one online. Simply log in to My Account and select get a new SIM card."

    Unfortunately that information is woefully outdated. When I clicked the link next to my old Moto E in the "Plans & Services" section, it said "We can't replace SIMs online." Which is kind of a bother since there are no physical Cricket stores in Puerto Rico, where I currently live. Actually, you can't even find neither Cricket phones nor BYOP cards at the local Walmarts here, which is extremely odd.

    So, fast forward to another chat, and the agent told me I could order the kit from Amazon, which came in three sizes and thus could use it to move from the old phone to the newer one. Once the kit arrived by mail, I chatted with Cricket again. They suggested at first to use the automated system at their site.

    However, because of my earlier experience (where the automated system only processed NEW accounts with NEW plans, not phone upgrades), and not wanting to waste any more time jumping through hoops, I insisted I preferred that the agent walked me though the process.

    After 5-10 more minutes, the upgrade was complete.

    So, it was a long wait, but I'm fully satisfied not only with the kit but with Cricket's customer service.
