No, as an unlocked phone it will only work with GSM Carriers providing their services using a SIM Card, it will not work with CDMA Carriers such as Sprint, Verizon or any other CDMA Carrier.

It does have voice command capabilities, including voice activated dialing. All functions of this phone work on the AT&T network. I'm not familiar with Cricket. If it's a different network, all functions may not work, such as the capability to send photos via text.

IF YOU UNLOCKED THE PHONE, the answer is MAYBE but it depends if Cricket has transitioned to the AT&T; network yet. At this point today, It is doubtful. I say that because Cricket historically used the CDMA network but PRIOR to being absorbed by AT&T.; This LG L70 phone is definitely a GSM phone. So, if they are using their old CDMA network, then it definitely will NOT work (and judging from the timing I would guess that to be the case) BUT if they've transitioned to using AT&T;'s network, it could work.

No, this phone is capable just for 2G and 3G, GSM and HSDPA networks respectively. For 4G you need a phone capable to operate in CDMA network.

I had cricket. Still the same phone. Just depends on the region you live in as far as the phone co. But it's the phone not the carrier. This was Huawei' prototype smartphone. I've upgraded to the Huawei mercury Ice. Much better phone! And I don't have any pics loaded.

Yes. I have checked Cricket home pages for you and from their Q&A that they are servicing GSM System that is the related phone is using (the 850 MHz and 1900 MHz GSM frequency).

Yes. Since the phone is unlocked, you can pick which carrier you want to use. I have at&t; so i use an at&t; sim card. At&T;, sprint,& t-mobile sim cards are are feasible to use in an unlocked phone. If not mistaken, i believe verizon doesn't use a sim cards so that's a different story. If your planning on using those other carriers like cricket they would just have to flash your phone if flash capable.

It wont work, and that phone is not a good phone, calls drop constantly, battery drains like crazy. Cricket has the hydro Kocera, It is a great phone.

No it doesn't. My family has Cricket & Verizon & it didn't work with either. Its like this phone is not even made for the US's use. Its only time zone was Chicago & all other time zones were other countries.

If you put in the effort yes but you could just get this phone from www.scratchwirelesa.com since they offer free talk text and web. Why pay Cricket money when you don't have to?

It will work on all GSM carriers. There are GSM and CDMA carriers. India has both of them. Most of them are GSM based but there are TWO CDMA providers too.Main players in GSM are BSNL, MTNL, AIRTEL, VODAFONE, IDEA,SPICE,CDMA lpayers are Reliance and tata indicom..Reliance also has some circles where it provides GSM service.

If you can get AT@T in Venezuela....the phone will work....if you have T-Mobil...Simple Wireless...pretty much any sim card service that's not Sprint or Verizon...Cricket...you can use in this phone.

I'm using my duel sim Asha on the (New Cricket) AT&T; bought Cricket and it now uses AT&T;'s GSM network. I have a feature phone plan. Meaning voice and text messaging. $25.00 a month! I live in a city that you can't go 6 blocks and not find free Wi-Fi and thats how I use it. That said; if you have a data plan, it will work that way too. In the phone settings you can set it up for, data only, Wi-Fi only or both. Another thing, if you have the phone set for both, it will look for Wi-Fi first. Saving on a data plan. The phone has the best of both worlds feature and data!

Not that I know. It depends who is the provider. From the Amazon detils it says: This unlocked cell phone is compatible with GSM carriers like AT&T; and T-Mobile. Not all carrier features may be supported. It will not work with CDMA carriers like Verizon Wireless, Alltel and Sprint. All I can say that it is a great phone!
