Cricket Launches Data Roaming In Mexico and Canada Plus New ALCATEL ONETOUCH® IDOL(TM) 3 4G LTE Smartphone

ATLANTA, Oct. 28, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- Cricket has expanded its international offerings and phone portfolio once again.  Now, customers on Cricket Smart ($50/mo) and Pro ($60/mo) plans can use their rate plan data in Mexico and Canada at no extra charge.  This new data roaming feature complements Cricket's existing "roundtrip" feature which gives customers unlimited calling, texting, and messaging in between Mexico, Canada, and the U.S.  Primary usage must still be in the U.S.

Plus Cricket will be adding the IDOL 3 to our smartphone line up -- from one of the most popular mobile phone manufacturers in Latin America and now the U.S., ALCATEL ONETOUCH.  Available in stores and online, starting November 6, the IDOL 3 is a Cricket exclusive and features the ALCATEL ONETOUCH Mix app - giving users an immersive music experience on a 4G LTE network that has more coverage nationwide than T-Mobile, MetroPCS, Sprint, and Boost.  Customers can listen to music directly from the app and add effects, transition songs, sync, mix, scratch or insert samples just like a DJ!

"Our customers don't want limits - they want to be able to call relatives, send selfies or listen to the latest hits when traveling across North America*.  They want a seamless experience and Cricket delivers," said Janna Ducich, chief marketing officer, Cricket Wireless.  "Our new data roaming feature is another in a long line of benefits that makes Cricket a smart choice for consumers who want great service, flexibility and value."

More About Cricket's International Features

In addition to our "roundtrip" calling features, Cricket offers international add-ons to countries in Latin America and the Caribbean such as Cuba, Dominican Republic, Jamaica, and Haiti.  Plus customers on the Smart ($50/mo) and Pro ($60/mo) plans already have unlimited texting to 38 countries.
