No problem! Simply choose 1 GB High-Speed Data under One-Time Features and add as many times as you want in the same billing cycle. This can be added to your existing one-time feature or monthly feature. There is no limit.
No. You can add 1GB High-Speed Data any time during your monthly plan cycle, whether you're out of high-speed data or just want to plan ahead. Remember, if you don't use the high-speed data, it will not carry over to your next monthly billing cycle.
For Cricket plans with limited high-speed data access, download speeds are a maximum of 8 Mbps for compatible 4G LTE Devices and 4 Mbps for compatible 4G HSPA+ Devices. After your high-speed data allowance is used (if applicable), your data download speeds will be reduced to a maximum 128Kbps for the rest of your monthly service period. The 1 GB High-Speed Data feature gives you another gigabyte at the download speeds of a maximum of 8 Mbps. Current Cricket rate plans with limited high-speed data allowances are $30/2 GB and $40/5 GB.
Maybe! Adding a gig allows you to have a little extra data as needed or every month. If you need extra data every month, you can look into current Cricket plans to see if one might be right for you. It is important to also note that if you change your rate plan, you may lose certain promotional plan discounts.
You can view your data usage in the myCricket App or online.
