History
Cricket opened its first store in Chattanooga, TN in 1999. This store still operates today and is managed by some of the original employees. Cricket grew to be a brand of no-annual-contract firsts—the first to offer unlimited U.S. long distance, texts, music and picture messaging. In 2012, Cricket was the first prepaid carrier to offer the iPhone.
Two decades after opening that first location, Cricket, as part of AT&T’s Prepaid Portfolio, is now the fastest growing prepaid provider in the U.S., a title it has held for the past two years.* We have more than 10 million customers, nearly 5,000 Cricket-branded stores in all 50 states.
