Cricket Compatibility Checker

Verify your device compatibility quickly:

Select your phone brand. Choose from major manufacturers including Apple, Samsung, Google, OnePlus, Motorola, and more.

Choose your model. Select your specific phone model. Different variants of the same phone (e.g., US unlocked vs. international) may have different band support.

View compatibility results. The checker analyzes your device against Cricket's required LTE bands (2, 4, 5, 12, 14, 17, 30, 66), 5G bands (if applicable), VoLTE support, and Wi-Fi calling capability.

Check your verdict. Get a clear compatible, partially compatible, or incompatible result with explanations of any limitations.

Cricket Wireless operates on AT&T's network infrastructure:

Essential LTE bands: Band 12 and Band 17 are critical for building penetration and rural coverage. Without these, you'll have weak indoor reception. Band 2 and Band 66 provide urban capacity.

5G support: Cricket offers 5G on select plans. You'll need a device supporting AT&T's 5G bands (n5, n77, n260) to access 5G speeds.

VoLTE requirement: Since AT&T shut down its 3G network, all phones on Cricket must support VoLTE (Voice over LTE) to make calls. Phones without VoLTE support cannot be activated.

Wi-Fi calling: Not all devices support Wi-Fi calling on Cricket, even if they support it on other carriers. This feature depends on carrier-specific firmware.

Ensure a smooth transition:

• Unlock your phone first — Your current carrier must unlock your phone before it can be used on Cricket. Contact your carrier to request an unlock.
• Check IMEI status — Cricket won't activate phones reported as lost or stolen. Verify your IMEI is clean before switching.
• US variants are best — International phone variants may be missing critical AT&T bands. US unlocked models typically have full band support.
• Consider Cricket-sold phones — For guaranteed compatibility, phones sold directly by Cricket are fully tested and certified for their network.
