Cricket goes live with LTE in Tuscon

Cricket came in just ahead of the buzzer. They have officially launched their first LTE market in Tuscon, Arizona. As expected, Cricket is starting by offering a USB modem rather than a smartphone. The device, the Huawei Boltz, costs $149.99. It will work on both Cricket’s LTE and CDMA networks. The plans come in two tiers, though both allow users to use 5GB per month. The first provides speeds of 3Mbps (think high-end DSL) for $50 per month, or 6Mbps (slightly slower than cable) for $60. If you’re in the Tuscon market you can pick up a modem and a plan at Cricket’s website.   Via Phone Scoop.]]>
