In order to stay at the top the internet providers need to dispense good service at economical price. Cricket Wireless has been one of the most popular internet providers in the United States of America that has now risen with a new scheme that is set to attract a large crowd and increase its sales more than before.

According to information from Phandroid, Cricket Wireless had an earlier scheme which would provide data, minimum of 1GB and maximum of 10GB but the recent development and renewal of scheme has changed the boundary of the data from 1 GB to unlimited. The company was already providing the internet at a reasonably low price but this new plan has put it on a different level with an extreme amount of data and the customers will not have to adjust at a speed of just 8Mbps.

The new plan provides 1GB data for the price of $30 per month, 3GB for $40, 8 GB for $50, 12GB for $60 per month and unlimited data for a recharge of $70 USD per month. The high quality internet and the dropped prices will be an extremely difficult plan to compete with in the market.

PhoneArena explains that Cricket Wireless has increased the amount of data by 20% at the same price as earlier and has also increased the speed. The people who intend to port over their current phone number and activate it on Cricket will have a chance of picking up either a free or a heavily discounted handset. Existing customers can receive a discount for upgrading to one of the listed phones, or by activating a new line.

Cricket Wireless is a standard prepaid wireless service provider that offers voice, text, and data. It is a wholly owned subsidiary of AT&T inc which has approximately 5 million subscribers in the States. The MVNO enters with a mobile network operator in order to obtain a bulk access to network services at wholesale rates and then set retail prices independently to provide its customers. The continuous development of the company and its merger with AT&T has helped it create a strong base of reliable customers.
