The Cricket footprint, which covers approximately 3,390 square miles and 2.4 million covered POPs in the Greater Milwaukee area, also includes coverage in Racine, Kenosha, and Madison, Wis. and brings Leap's total national covered POPs to 64.1 million.
"Launching service in southern Wisconsin is our first step toward building a significant Cricket footprint in the upper Midwest, which will ultimately include coverage stretching from Milwaukee to Chicago, a market that is scheduled to launch in the first half of next year," said Doug Hutcheson, Leap's president and CEO. "We are pleased to provide residents with a contract-free, no-credit-check wireless service, as well as create more than 200 new jobs in the market. We believe that people will see the extraordinary value in both our wireless voice and broadband service offerings."
Cricket rate plans are per month and include unlimited anytime minutes, unlimited U.S. long distance, unlimited text and picture messaging, unlimited text to Mexico, unlimited Mobile Web, unlimited directory assistance, nationwide roaming minutes and more - all without requiring signed contracts or credit checks.
In addition to unlimited mobile phone services, Cricket is also offering Cricket Broadband, allowing customers unlimited internet access anywhere in Cricket's coverage areas on their desktop or laptop computers.
Cricket is bringing more than 200 jobs to the area, including new positions created through its dealer network.
