How Cricket 3-Month Unlimited Scores
We scored Cricket 3-Month Unlimited against the same four pillars we use for every plan. Here’s how it broke down.
Pricing: the cheapest quarter on AT&T
$45 buys three months — $15/mo with taxes included. On AT&T's network, at that price, with unlimited data, nothing else comes close short of the 12-month plan.
Treat it as a term, not a rate. When the three months end you're choosing between renewing, moving to 12-Month Unlimited at $25/mo or stepping onto a monthly tier at $35–55. Budget for that decision rather than assuming $15 continues.

Final Verdict
The best short-term deal on AT&T's network and the smartest way to try Cricket properly — three months of unlimited data for $45, with taxes in. The conditions are real: new single line, your own phone, and no hotspot. But at $15/mo you're risking little, and if coverage holds up the 12-month plan at $25/mo is waiting. For anyone who needs a temporary line — a trip, a contract job, a second number — this is the plan.

How much is Cricket's 3-month plan?
$45 total for three months of unlimited data, which works out to $15/mo with taxes and fees included. It requires a new single-line account and your own compatible phone.
What happens after the three months?
The $15 rate doesn't continue. You renew, switch to 12-Month Unlimited at $25/mo, or move onto a monthly tier starting at $35 for Select Unlimited.
Does the 3-month plan include hotspot?
No. Neither multi-month prepay plan includes mobile hotspot. Hotspot starts at Smart Unlimited, which has 15GB.
Can existing Cricket customers buy it?
No. Both prepay plans are restricted to new single-line accounts with a bring-your-own device.
Is it better than the tryCricket free trial?
They do different jobs. tryCricket gives you 14 days on Cricket's network for free without touching your current service; this gives you three months of real service with your own number for $45.
