subject: The Advantages of Cricket Wireless [print this page] Cricket Wireless is a CDMA wireless service that provides flat rate, unlimited data and calling services to certain cities in
the US. To expand their wireless service, Cricket's network now supports tri band cell phones. The advantages of the tri band
cell phones are numerous and include better overall service, greater roaming capabilities, and extended coverage. In
addition, Cricket tri band cell phones permit to stay connected wherever the Cricket wireless network is available.
Tri band cell phones are quickly becoming the standard in the wireless industry. As opposed to dual band phones, which
operate only at 1900 MHz and 800 MHz frequencies, tri band cell phones operate on 1800 MHz, 900 MHz, and 800 MHz that are
common across wireless networks. These additional frequencies provide the tri band cell phones with a greater roaming
capability, permitting callers to keep in touch when they are traveling to different markets.
Cricket tri band call phones are quickly becoming necessary for subscribers. Currently all of Cricket cell phones have tri
band capability to make sure that they can be used wherever Cricket service is available. Cricket has launched many tri band
markets and subscribers in these cities must have tri band cell phones use the service.
There are numerous advantages to using tri band cell phones including improved subscriber flexibility and technology, in and
out of network capability, and greater coverage area. In addition, Cricket's tri band cell phones are compatible with the
Cricket's dual band home calling area. Subscribers who have Cricket's dual band cell phones won't be able to access service
when they travel into one of Cricket's tri band markets. Rather, the dual band subscribers will lack numerous data services
and have to use their allotment of nationwide roaming minutes.
Subscribers using tri band cell phones will always have access to the normal calling features that Cricket offers, including
data services and unlimited minutes, regardless of the type of Cricket home calling area they travel to.
Another advantage of tri band cell phones is that they have increased roaming capabilities. Cricket has also entered into
many roaming agreements with numerous service providers all across the country to give subscribers greater flexibility when
traveling outside the Cricket home calling area. This more extensive roaming network means that the cell phones must be
usable on tri band networks. Because most wireless service providers use tri band frequencies, Cricket has improved its cell
phones to make sure that they are compatibility with other markets.
