Cricket made a splash by signing a roaming agreement with Sprint. As a regional carrier they need roaming partners so that their customers can use their phones throughout the country, and Sprint provided just that. Yesterday the two companies announced an expansion of that deal to cover mobile broadband services. While Cricket cannot activate service outside of its home areas, and will suspend service for excessive roaming, customers can now get Cricket’s mobile broadband without fear of losing coverage. Unfortunately, this also comes with a rate increase. The plans are now 2.5GB for $45, 5GB for $55, and 7.5GB for $65, or $5 per month more than before. You can get Cricket’s broadband service, and a broadband modem, at Cricket’s website. Via Phone Scoop.]]>
