Cricket Wireless Celebrates 19 Years In Business By Offering Select Phones For Only $19

Cricket Wireless will turn 19 on March 17th.  To celebrate, the ATT owned prepaid provider will be offering select smartphones for only $19 to new customers who port in to Cricket between March 9-18, 2018.

Cricket Wireless is marketing this promotion by saying:

"It's Cricket's Birthday, and We're Giving You 19 Reasons To Smile."

Let's have a look at those smartphones and see if they are really something to smile about.

None of the phones being offered as part of the promotion are high end, however, they are only $19 so that is a good deal. For a high end phone, Cricket's half off a Galaxy S8 promo is really a steal.

To get a phone for $19 from Cricket Wireless you must activate it on a plan costing $30 or more, and you can't be porting from AT&T.

In addition to the phone discounts, Cricket Wireless continues to run other promotions. For instance, new customers can subscribe to Cricket Wireless's unlimited data 2 plan for just $40/month with auto pay.  That's a savings of $10/month off its regular price.

Unfortunately, current customers get left out in the cold as part of this "celebration."
