Shop Back to School with Cricket Wireless

Skip the mall and searching online for hours – find everything for a college dorm at your local Cricket Wireless store

Autumn is almost here and students around the country will be heading back to school. Many students will even be leaving home for the first time to head to college! Did you know that you can find everything you need to stay connected with your new university student at your local Cricket Wireless?

Instead of traveling to multiple stores or shopping online, visit your local Cricket Wireless and pick-up the hottest new technology. Shop everything from smartphones to wireless speakers all in one location. Cricket has plenty of amazing back-to-school offers to enhance your student’s dorm.

  • Stay connected with a brand new smartphone. Phones continue to radically improve and offer more and more functionality to help students stay connected with family and friends, as well help them conduct research for school projects and keep them entertained when they need some “down time” from all the school activities. Cricket has smartphones for any budget – from the latest and greatest top brands, with some even being offered for FREE. Only available at Cricket, the Alcatel PULSEMIX is a hit with young adults. It has a large 5.2" HD screen, sleek all-black design, powerful quad-core processing power and dual cameras, both with flash. Mix, match and boost your PULSEMIX with exclusive SNAPBAK™ covers that bring added power, light, sound and life to your phone. And it’s just $29.99 if you bring your number to Cricket.
  • Watch TV - DIRECTVNOW. No need for university supplied cable and installing a bunch of equipment. Sign up for Rules Free TV that lets you stream your favorite live sports, on demand, premium channels, popular shows and hit movies right to your compatible tablet, smartphone or TV. It’s the experience you love, without the limits you don’t.
  • Keep it quiet with Earbuds. Study hall and other public places can be noisy, but even the nicest of dorm mates can be quite talkative or snore loudly. Pick up a pair that suits you perfectly to keep the sound you love (music, TV, podcasts and audio messages from mom, of course) in while pushing unwanted commotion and hullaballoo out. These MAGsmart Bluetooth earphones are powerful, but so light you’ll forget you’re wearing them.
  • Share your jams with Wireless Speakers. Share all the sounds you love with others by hooking up small, yet powerful, speakers – like the Drench Wireless Waterproof speaker - that you can bring with you anywhere you go and can be used inside or out.

Cricket Wireless offers simple, affordable plans that keep costs low through a smarter, friendlier purchase experience. It’s also a great way to demonstrate budgeting skills and responsibility to your star student. You learn something new every day, right?
