Adding to the list of carriers that are making it seamless to start a test drive, Cricket Wireless is now offering potential customers the ability to start a free and instant eSIM trial on iPhone. Read on for all the details.
Cricket Wireless – which is owned by AT&T and runs on its network – shared the news in a blog post today:
“We’re taking a bold step so that everyone can experience Cricket,” said John Dwyer, President of Cricket Wireless. “Once a new customer gives tryCricket a chance, they’ll see our great network, affordable plans, and award-winning customer service is why customers that join Cricket stay with Cricket.”
As a refresher, other than the instant and headache-free setup, one of the biggest benefits of eSIM trials is you can see the signal for both your current carrier and the one you’re testing simultaneously.
And you can decide to keep using your existing carrier and number for phone calls while using the trial for cellular data.
T-Mobile was the first major carrier to launch eSIM trials back in 2021 and Visible which runs on Verizon’s network did the same at the start of 2022.
