Cricket Review

I originally got cricKet because I needed to be able to keep in touch with people when I wasn't home.  Knowing that my last experience with cell service cost me WAY too much because I am a text-addict, the "free text" concept was great.  I love being able to call whoever I want, whenever I want without worrying about what time it is or how long I've been on the phone.  When they say 'unlimited', they mean it.  I am charged a flat fee every month.  No surprises. 

The only downside that I've seen so far is that I can't participate in "text voting".  One of my local radio stations has a number that you can text requests into, but because it is not a full phone number (its a 5 digit number), my text doesn't go through.  I get a response that says, "Cricket is not participating in this event at this time". 

Overall, its a good deal.  Cheap with unlimited calls.  Not bad.
