Opening Ring of Freedom Sounds Today in Cincinnati
CINCINNATI - Wireless service with freedom from contracts, counting minutes and credit checks with one, low, flat monthly rate is available today in Cincinnati. Cricket® wireless service offers freedom and affordable flexibility to wireless users across the tri-state. Offered in more than 30 stores in Greater Cincinnati, Cricket service offers users the experience of true wireless Freedom.
The Cincinnati launch of Cricket service today at the National Underground Railroad Freedom Center celebrates the freedom Cricket offers its users:
Users receive flat rate calling plans that offer unlimited anytime minutes and unlimited text, picture and instant messaging for $45 a month with no credit checks or contract hassles. Cricket customers in the region will have access to a Midwest regional calling area that includes three major cities - Cincinnati, Dayton and Columbus, Ohio - within their regular service plan. The Columbus, Ohio market is owned by CSM Wireless, LLC and operated under the Revol brand name.
As a pioneer of unlimited anytime minutes with no annual contracts required, Cricket service offers an alternative for those individuals and businesses looking for affordable, flat-rate wireless services. Over 1.7 million subscribers use Cricket service across the country from New York to California. Cricket service gives affordable flexibility and freedom back to the user with flat rate calling plans that offer unlimited anytime minutes within the Cricket calling area.
Because life can be complicated, wireless service shouldn't be.
Cricket service is an affordable wireless alternative to traditional landline service, providing unlimited usage for customers at some of the lowest rates in the industry. Since long-term signed agreements and credit checks are not required, Cricket service is easy for everyone to purchase. With a Cricket phone, people can make and receive all their calls within their calling area without worry about an expensive bill. The price of Cricket service is competitive to that of a traditional home phone, but with Cricket, customers gain the benefit of mobility — cutting free from the wires.
The Cricket network relies on the power of all-digital Code Division Multiple Access (CDMA) 1X technology, which provides customers with superior voice quality and the capacity necessary to allow customers to talk all they want anywhere in the Cricket service coverage area.
Customers can choose a full suite of wireless services from Cricket in Cincinnati. Cricket unlimited wireless plans offer picture messaging, unlimited text messaging plus calling features including voicemail, caller ID and call waiting.
"We are thrilled to bring Cricket service to the Cincinnati region," said Garth Brandwein, area general manager for Cricket. "We are planning many exciting festivities for Cincinnati to enjoy. We want to showcase our service to Cincinnatians and let them know that there's a new game in town and one that doesn't require a huge commitment from customers. We are extending our focus on predictability, simplicity and value to this community and are bringing our wireless products to meet the needs of everyday people."
