Note that personal checks and money orders are NOT accepted as in-person payment for a Cricket Wireless bill. Stick to the payment methods listed above to avoid any issues.
Be Aware of Fees When Paying In-Store
While paying in person is convenient, be aware that Cricket Wireless does charge a $5 “Customer Assistance Fee” for in-store and over-the-phone bill payments. This covers the cost of staff time to handle the payment.
The fee is charged per transaction, so paying multiple bills during one store visit would incur multiple fees. Consider paying online to avoid the $5 charge if possible.
However, there is NO fee for:
- Payments made in CT or VT Cricket stores
- Payments to accounts with a CT billing address
The fee also does not apply when paying by cash at an authorized payment center (like 7-Eleven), only at Cricket stores.
