"tl;dr Lycamobile offers competitive fees without the hidden fees, so you're better off switching.\n\nI will be switching from Cricket to Lycamobile at my next opportunity.\n\nWould you forgo $25/mo in the future for $5 right now? $10? $20? This is basically what Cricket did.\n\nI attempted to pay my $25 monthly fee as usual, and then the associate there claimed I had another week to pay off my dues if I paid $15 that day. I asked if any additional fees would be added to the $25 fee I owed. \"No.\" I then asked if my balance would be paid in full if I paid $15 that day, and then $10 within the next week. \"Yes.\"\n\nIt turns out that I was charged an additional $5 fee. But it doesn't end there! When I confronted the manager, they conceded that there was a history of these hidden $5 fees in my account. These hidden charges summed to an embarrassingly high amount, yet the manager refused to refund anything, not even $1!\n\nI will update my review if Cricket remedies these egregious errors to my account. I don't have any expectations given their practices so far, and neither should anyone else."^^ . "0"^^ . . . .
