Cricket Expands International Reach Again with Calling to Cuba, Brazil, Singapore and Nigeria
ATLANTA, June 18, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- Customers interested in calling Cuba, Brazil, Singapore and Nigeria from the US have a new reason to choose Cricket. Starting June 25th, the company is adding three new countries to its international long distance offers. Cricket International Cuba* is a new feature offering 15 minutes of calls to Cuba from the US for $15/mo, taxes and fees included. And customers with family and friends in Brazil, Singapore or Nigeria – in addition to the existing 35 countries – can now reach out to their family and friends for $5 - $15 per month as part of the Cricket International and Cricket International Extra features.
Calling Cuba Made Super Simple
The Cuba calling add-on feature is available to customers on Cricket's Smart ($50/mo) and Pro ($60/mo) plans, and is customizable as a recurring monthly charge, or can be added as a one-time charge whenever customers want to call Cuba. Customers needing more talk time can also add the Cricket International Cuba feature as many times as they want in a given month.** Cricket gives consumers the freedom to choose what works best for their budget and calling needs. And now, customers switching to Cricket get a special offer – a new smartphone for 99¢ with Cricket's switcher offer***.
Connecting Customers to Brazil, Singapore and Nigeria
In addition, Cricket is introducing three new countries – Brazil, Singapore, and Nigeria –to its $5/mo Cricket International feature which includes unlimited landline calls and unlimited text messaging from the US to 38 countries. These new countries are also part of our $15/mo Cricket International Extra feature which includes unlimited landline calls, unlimited picture/video messaging (MMS) and 1,000 minutes of mobile-to-mobile calling from the U.S. to 32 countries.
"Since we launched the new Cricket, we've been focused on doing the right things right – that means listening to our customers and giving them more value for their money," said Janna Ducich, chief marketing officer, Cricket Wireless. "And today, it means more international service from the US to countries they care about most like Cuba, Brazil, Singapore, and Nigeria. Today's consumers have come to expect more from their no-annual contract wireless experience and Cricket is proud to deliver it, once again."
The new Cuba, Brazil, Singapore and Nigeria international long distance offerings complement Cricket's popular Mexico and Canada calling upgrades that launched earlier this year. Together, these international offerings give Cricket customers even more value at the same low price – making Cricket the smart choice for savvy consumers.
