How to fix Cricket Wireless not working

When Cricket Wireless itself is having trouble, these steps won't bring it back, but they will rule out anything on your side:

1. Reload and restart

   Reload the page (Ctrl+F5, or Cmd+Shift+R on a Mac), or fully close the app and open it again.

2. Try another connection

   Switch between Wi-Fi and mobile data. If it works on one and not the other, the problem is your network, not Cricket Wireless.

3. Update the app

   Install the latest version from the App Store or Google Play. Old versions can stop connecting after a server-side change.

While Cricket Wireless is down: what to use instead

• Wi-Fi Calling If your phone has Wi-Fi Calling turned on, use it over home or public Wi-Fi for calls and texts while the mobile network is down.
• Another phone Borrow a phone on a different carrier for calls that cannot wait.
• Website Open the site in a browser instead of the app when you need account access and the app will not load.
• Refill card Buy a refill card at a store and add it from the site or by calling if in-app payment fails.

Problems at the same time as Cricket Wireless

Since 27 October, all 12 of Cricket Wireless's spikes in problem reports overlapped a spike at another service.

When several services get problem reports at once, something they share, such as a cloud host or a network, can be the real cause. Matching times alone do not prove it.
