Cricket getting super-basic A150

Over the past few months we’ve seen a number of prepaid carriers add very low-level phones. This, I think, is because their customers want simple phones for cheap, and it’s tough to offer cheap handsets on prepaid. To that end, Cricket plans to launch the A150, a featureless phone manufactured by Cal-Comp, a brand unknown to me. No word on price or release, but I’d venture to guess 1) $50 or under and 2) soon.]]>
