On select Cricket rate plans, long distance is included in your monthly rate. Customers on service plans that do not include long distance can purchase minutes by purchasing Cricket Flex Bucket funds.
Yes. Long Distance is a feature that allows you to call anywhere in the United States, Puerto Rico, and Canada, and is available in select Cricket rate plans. If long distance is not included with your rate plan you can add the feature to your account for a flat monthly fee or make long distance calls using your Flex Bucket.
Long distance service is paid for out of your Flex Bucket funds or as part of your rate plan. Most rate plans include domestic long distance for the US as part of the rate plan, however none of Cricket's current rate plans include international long distance.

Flex Bucket funds should be available for use no later than 24 hours from the time of purchase. In many instances the minutes will be available immediately after purchase.
