What network does Cricket piggy back on?

[TiNA :]]

Verizon, T Mobile, etc etc. Or is cricket its own network?

[empouse]

Yeah, I think they should include data. I can't use navigation in the Cricket coverage areas...

[ashok N]

What markets are they planning on launching?

[Doanut]

Baltimore, Washington DC, Seattle, New Orleans, among others. They have an arabitious plan to double its 2007 POP's by the end of 2010. They are off to a good start for 2009. I don't see them stopping anytime soon.

However I am not sure about surpassing Metro, which plans to heavily expand in an area with over 50 million people in the northeast. They also plan to expand on their Southern California market, as this is also a heavily populated area.

But if they do surpass Metro I hope Leap buys out Metro.

Cricket runs and maintains their own network. They also have Unlimited roaming agreements with MetroPCS and around 16 other regional partners to provide service for their customers in additional markets.

In areas where they do not provide service, Cricket customers can roam on Verizon (with Unlimited text messaging and a variable amount of minutes) as long as they are on the appropriate rate plan. Cricket's $50 rate plan for instance gives you 30 minutes of roaming on Verizon per month. Their $60 plan offers 200 minutes of Nationwide roaming.

Most of the largest markets in the US though are well covered by the Cricket/MetroPCS corabination.

What was Metro's subscriber base in the start of 2008 compared to Leaps in 2008 and both for the start of 2009
