Hot on the heels of other "unlimited" announcements, Cricket unveiled plans for an unlimited local and long distance calling, text, and picture messaging bundle all for only $18 (only sales tax isn't included) a week. The release goes on to mention that the plan also includes voicemail, caller ID, call waiting and three-way calling plus nationwide roaming for just 39 cents a minute. Expanding on Cricket's existing plans, they now have a range from $18 to $60 so it seems like there is definitely a little something something for everyone -- though we're not entirely sure when a weekly plan would come in handy.

I'm a PREPIAD card/phone distributor & I can tell you there are plenty of cases when "pay by the week" will be BIG for cricKet... We see plenty of "PREPAID" users - which is a big draw of cricKet customers - unable to pay $50+ at one time. It's sad but true, BUT they are able to manage smaller $10-20 PREPAID card purchases each & every week... Rather than "Pay By The WEEK", cricKet is capitalizing on "Pay By The WEAK" - those unable to budget & save.
