are there any other costs associated with cricket broadband?

No. There are no start up or activation fees. However, you do have the option to purchase handset or device protection for an additional $4.95 per month.

If you are adding Broadband service to your existing Cricket Wireless account, there may be a prorated service cost depending on your bill date - but you will SAVE $5/month on bundled service thereafter. In certain markets, taxes and fees may apply.
