I bought an unlocked Moto X (2013) to bring to Cricket and I'd like to have the SIM card already when the phone arrives, but in order to order the SIM on the website, I have to have the IMEI of the phone. Is there a way to order a SIM without already having the phone in hand?

Brock Landers posted:Any imei will work. Cricket does use it to recommend a SIM size though so use an imei of a device with the same size SIM. I don't have any GSM phones to grab an IMEI off of. v  vedit: nevermind, the IMEI on my Sprint Moto X worked. Vykk.Draygo fucked around with this message at 04:17 on Nov 5, 2014 |

Does Cricket really make you sign for your SIM card when it gets delivered? That's going to be a huge pain in the rear end if so.

Is there a way to see where AT&T towers are, and possibly planned updates or new towers? I get amazing coverage on Cricket everywhere except inside the building at work, and that might be a big enough issue to put me back on Sprint.

SouthLAnd posted:If your LTE has crawled to an unusable speed like mine, you can have the phone use 3g/hspa instead by changing the preferred network type under mobile network settings (if you're on android, don't know about iPhones). My Moto X (2013) only has 'Automatic' and '2G only' in preferred network type. Is my phone set up wrong?

If you're on the 3gb Cricket plan and run out of data, is there any reason to buy the extra 1gb for $10 vs just changing your plan to the 10gb plan? Are there ramifications for changing your plan?

Geoj posted:You can't use a SIM obtained from a store for the dork plan, you have to buy the "starter kit" online. Also, it can only be activated online or at a Wal-Mart and is a one-time plan - if you were to move off of it you can't move back unless you port your number out to another provider and open a new account.. What if you used it for a month then stopped paying? You can't reactivate the account at all? Is the SIM card now useless?

eric posted:Yes they send an email when you get the credit. They didn't send me an email or anything. In fact, I think the only email cricket has ever sent me was when I applied for the referral credit. At 62 days, I still hadn't heard anything so I logged into my account and there was the credit. All other contact from them has come through text messages for some reason.

SB35 posted:I believe it's throttled to 128k. Slow but enough for your emails to download. Kilobytes or kilobits? I assumed the latter (16 kBps) but if it's actually 128 kBps then that's not much worse than I was regularly getting on Sprint 3G. I think I could live with that for a couple days if I had to.

Yeah Cricket definitely has a terrible website, and an almost worse Android app. Hell, as far as I know, you can't even access any of the referral stuff from your account on the Cricket website. I had to create a whole separate account on the referral site. It's all a big mess, but the service itself is great.

How the hell do I activate a different phone on Cricket?! I put my SIM in the new phone but it won't do anything, and I can't find anywhere on the website to switch my phone.

ThermoPhysical posted:Yeah, I'm not sure WHY they took that option off. It shows up when you sign into your account, but it's grayed out and you're given that link. I've been trying that for the last fifteen minutes. First guy directed me to a page that was no help and then killed the chat. The current person is actually competent but so far it's not working.

clockworx posted:Sounds like a technical issue. That upgrade page looks like it is for buying a new phone from them, not swapping in another phone that you own on an account. It was listed as being unlocked, and the phone didn't throw a fit when I put my SIM in, but either way it's definitely an AT&T phone.

Finally got it working, but I couldn't tell you exactly how. She had me add the APN settings manually, but it didn't seem to do anything, especially since I wasn't even connecting to any towers. Maybe there was just an outage that got fixed. Regardless, it's working now.

I have used both an unlocked AT&T 2014 X and a Pure Edition X on Cricket with no issues (well there was that activation issue but I think that was a fluke).

What phone do you have? edit: nevermind apparently you have something called a Samsung Galaxy Light. It looks like it has bands 4 and 17 for LTE so it should get LTE on Cricket. I have no idea if that phone has to be unlocked to work on Cricket or if it already is unlocked. Vykk.Draygo fucked around with this message at 03:47 on Aug 14, 2015 |

It's off by default and if I try to turn it on, it says to go to att.com/mywireless or dial 611.

ThermoPhysical posted:Got it from SA Mart, actually. Not upset if it's the AT&T version though. How would I check for this and is it reversible? Does it have any AT&T software on it? I wonder if flashing the stock firmware straight from Google would allow you to tether. Of course I doubt you want to go through all of that for something you don't seem to have any interest in.

Going to another country I just use a Tmobile SIM because AT&Ts roaming prices are a joke. Okay, great, you've told me why prepaid isn't bad. You didn't explain why you'd want to switch though.

ThermoPhysical posted:Streaming works fine on Cricket, even on HSPA. In addition, using Voice is great because you don't have to worry much about your cell signal as long as you have wifi. I get little to no service at work but I can still text and see if someone is calling on my desktop. MMS works fine, though I'm unsure if group messaging is fully functional yet.

I find this very odd being a phone that doesn't go through any carrier. None of my other Android phones have had this issue. Are you using the same SIM that was in the other devices that did tether?
