how do i become a cricket paygo customer?

Visit any Cricket PAYGo retailer and purchase a Cricket PAYGo retail package , visit any Cricket retailer to purchase any Cricket phone, or reuse a phone you already own that is compatible with the Cricket network. (NOTE: some of our older Cricket phones do not work in all areas.)  To activate a Cricket branded phone, call Customer Care at 1-800-CRICKET, visit a Cricket location, or go to mycricket.com. To activate phones that are not Cricket branded but compatible with the Cricket network you must go to a Cricket dealer.
