how do cricket paygo monthly plans work?

With Cricket PAYGo monthly plans, you get a full month of service for one low rate. We offer a variety of monthly plans to choose from.  You decide which plan has the best unlimited features and the right number of included minutes for you.  When you are close to using the number of minutes included in your plan, we’ll send you a text message to let you know.  If you use all the minutes included with your plan, additional minutes are charged per minute.  Services that are not included in your plan are charged per use (such as 411 directory assistance) or per minute (such as roaming). We automatically start your month of service when you have enough funds in your account to pay for your plan. If you don’t, we’ll remind you to top-up and your new month of service will start when you’re ready – just add enough funds to cover your plan and your new month will start right away. Don’t worry -- we’ll never charge you late fees or penalties if you decide to wait before starting a new month.
