eSIM Cricket (United States)

It's a single $50 USD plan: the price in MXN is listed under Prices and plans and includes the eSIM and the first 30 days. After that, you can top up with the plan of your choice at that plan's price; the $50 USD plan costs $45 per month with Cricket Auto Pay.

Yes. A +1 number is assigned upon activation; the area code is random and can be changed through Cricket support.

No. The purchase and installation must be completed in the United States, on Cricket's native network. If you're in Mexico, wait until you're in the U.S. to purchase it.

Not for use in Mexico. This eSIM is designed for use in the United States: activation and primary use must be exclusively in the U.S. The plan includes calls, SMS, and data in Mexico and Canada for short trips only. Misuse outside the U.S. may result in suspension, cancellation, and, in some cases, permanent IMEI blocking. If you need service in Mexico, see eSIM for Mexico.

When you purchase, we ask for your email, EID, and IMEI. If Cricket requires additional information to activate the service (such as a ZIP code), we'll let you know while processing your order. We don't claim that an SSN or other requirements the carrier may request are waived.

The number can receive SMS, so you can register for WhatsApp with it. Some apps or banks may reject prepaid numbers; confirm with each service.

This eSIM gives you a real Cricket line with a number, calls, and texts, and it can be refilled. A data-only eSIM (such as LibertyPass or CoastFlow) only provides internet access for a set number of days and does not include a carrier number.

Your plan starts when your eSIM is sent, not when you install it.

With the QR code or the EID notification we send you by email. Installation must take place in the United States, within Cricket's native coverage area.

Up to 60 days without renewing the plan; after that, the line may be canceled according to Cricket's policy.

Yes. Cricket uses AT&T's nationwide network in the United States, with 5G where coverage is available and with a compatible device.

The $50 plan includes calls, texts, and data in Mexico and Canada, as well as calls and texts from the U.S. to those countries. In Mexico and Canada, you get 2 GB of high-speed data per day; after that, speeds drop to 3G. Use in Canada must not exceed 50% of your usage over 3 months. Purchase, installation, activation, and primary use must take place exclusively in the United States.

Yes. In the U.S., Cricket may temporarily reduce speeds when the network is congested, and video streams in SD quality; see the unlimited data terms under Prices and Plans.

Yes. Hotspot use is subject to the unlimited data terms (under Prices and Plans).

No. It is not designed for that. Misuse outside the U.S. (for example, regular use in Mexico) may result in suspension, cancellation, and, in certain cases, permanent IMEI blocking.
