A few frills, a reasonable price and a solid network make Cricket Wireless an attractive prepaid cell phone option. According to Consumer Reports, customers are happy overall with Cricket. It’s owned by AT&T and operates on that network, which is well-regarded by RootMetrics, a firm that analyzes mobile networks. However, Cricket customers don’t receive the full benefits of AT&T’s high-speed LTE data service. Cricket’s list of features is short, but if you have family or friends outside the country, Cricket deserves a look for its international perks.
