For new customers, Cricket Communications offers a comprehensive and reliable telecom plan with unlimited calling and texting within Canada and Mexico, as well as data roaming while abroad. A 4G LTE smartphone is required for activation, and data speeds may be slowed during periods of network busy-ness. Video streaming is not included in the basic plan, but Cricket aims to deliver standard-definition video at maximum speed of 1.5 to 2 Mbps. Mexico customers also have access to unlimited international calling and texting with their plan, while Canadian users can exceed a 50% data limit.
