Cricket Wireless today improved its international offering by adding the ability to make calls and send text messages from Canada and Mexico to the U.S.
The change means Cricket customers who travel to Canada and Mexico will be able to stay in touch with family and friends in the U.S. while they are away.
Cricket customers are already able to make unlimited calls and send unlimited messages from the U.S. to Canada and Mexico. Cricket said the “roundtrip” feature will be available to its Smart and Pro plans ($50 and $60 per month, respectively) for at no extra cost.
The unlimited calling/SMS feature goes into effect for Mexico on August 2 and will go into effect for Canada later in August.
Cricket’s move follows similar calling plan changes made by parent company AT&T, as well as competitors T-Mobile and MetroPCS.
