can i add roaming to my phone if it isn’t a cricket phone?

Generally if you flash your phone to Cricket, some of your calling features may not work and will not be supported by Cricket. Cricket only supports voice features and text messaging for non-Cricket phones.

The ability to use roaming on phones not purchased directly from Cricket will be dependent on whether the phone can download the Cricket PRL after dialing *228. Roaming coverage in tri-band markets will require a tri-band phone.
