There are so many people who are experiencing a financial hardship right now, and Cricket Wireless wants to help. We are currently offering qualifying customers the Emergency Broadband Benefit* (EBB) to provide temporary relief on their wireless internet service. EBB is a federal government program, and we don’t know how long the funds will last. What we do know is that it can provide significant savings to those most in need, and we need your help to spread the word.
If you know anyone that has been financially impacted by COVID-19 or who currently participates in a financial assistance program, please ask them to check if they’re eligible to participate in the temporary EBB program by visiting the National Verifier at getemergencybroadband.org. Eligible customers can then apply for EBB at any Cricket store or online at cricketwireless.com/emergency-broadband-benefit.
If approved, we encourage them to sign up right away for one of our eligible Cricket plans.**
- Cricket More: Unlimited calls and data*** + 15 GB of Mobile Hotspot for $10/mo. after temporary EBB applied (regularly $60/mo.). $5/mo. for single line customers with Auto Pay.
- Cricket Core: Unlimited calls and data for $5/mo. after temporary EBB applied (regularly $55/mo.). Free for single line customers with Auto Pay.
- Cricket Simply Data: 100GB of high-speed data for $5/mo. after temporary EBB applied (regularly $55/mo.)
It’s always ok to ask for assistance if you need it—just as it is to reach out to those in need. Please consider passing along this information—it may be the most important connection you make all day
