What type of 5G does Cricket use?

In addition to problems with honoring their deals and the 5G devices they offer, Cricket Wireless has problems with their coverage and their speed because they are owned by AT&T . AT&T has limited coverage areas for 5G and is known as offering the worst, slowest 5G speeds out of all the big providers.

Cricket will likely use AT&T’s low-band 5G network (the announcement didn’t specify much in the way of technical details), which uses low-band 850MHz spectrum technology that has broader range but slower speeds than its mmWave 5G, which AT&T calls its 5G Plus network.

Cricket Wireless, the prepaid brand of AT&T, is now offering 5G wherever it’s available across AT&T’s nationwide network . Cricket subscribers can access it via the Samsung Galaxy S20+ 5G smartphone. They’ll need to subscribe to one of Cricket’s unlimited plans, starting at $60 per month, or on the Simply Data plans.
