**Philly Launch March 10th, 2009**

[Joe Español]

Cricket is supposed to launch on March 10th, 2009 in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania.

Can anyone confirm this? I've chatted with two reps since then and both said they don't have any information. The 11th is coming soon, so I'd think the reps would know.

I didn't see that before. Thanks!

That's sad if it has the launch date on their website but the reps don't know about it.

I really hope Cricket covers South Jersey well. I'll be so happy!!

[Callan D]

I have no idea about the coverage thou.

Coverage - http://www.mycricket.com/cricketcove...rea?hocode=830

It looks like a carbon copy of the MetroPCS coverage area, which is what I expected at this time as they are working together like never before. This is also the last coverage area they will heavily overlap in the foreseeable future, if not forever.

Noticed they are marketing the home calling area (unlimited) with the same color as the expanded home (premium), which is MetroPCS. This could confuse some people living in the extended calling areas into thinking they live in Cricket coverage area, unless Metro agreed to provide full features over their coverage areas in the northeast. Cricket might be doing the same thing when they expand southward down the 95 corridor.

Well, more POP's for Cricket! I do like Cricket and what they stand for.
