Hi David, Cricket does work on the Sprint network so it should more or less work nation wide just as Straight Talk would on the AT&T network. I am in Canada and use Koodo which uses the Telus network and while Koodo which is owned by Telus provides no contract less expensive plans, the coverage is just as good as it is on Telus.

Cricket is also a regional carrier. Their coverage area is limited. And, at least five years ago, one could only deal with Cricket via email and text messaging, so if one had problems, it became more complicated. In so many ways, one gets what one pays for.
