How Cricket Select Unlimited Scores
We scored Cricket Select Unlimited against the same four pillars we use for every plan. Here’s how it broke down.
Pricing: the family tier
$35/mo with AutoPay and taxes included ($40 the first month), which makes it directly comparable to pre-tax MVNO prices around $32. Against Straight Talk Silver at roughly $48–51 effective, it's a clear win on the same class of service.
The real argument is multi-line. Four lines for $100/mo is $25 each with AT&T coverage, in-person support and taxes in — territory usually reserved for online-only carriers. The condition is that these have to be new lines.

How Cricket Select Unlimited compares
The in-lineup decision is Select against Smart, and it comes down to hotspot and international.

Final Verdict
The value tier in Cricket's lineup and the one to look at if you're bringing more than one line. Unlimited AT&T-network data at $35 all-in is competitive on its own, and $25/line at four is genuinely strong for a carrier with stores. Two conditions matter: it's new lines only, so existing Cricket customers are shut out, and hotspot costs extra — if you tether, Smart Unlimited at $45 with 15GB included is the honest comparison.

Can existing Cricket customers get Select Unlimited?
No. Select Unlimited is available on new lines only. Existing customers looking for a cheaper unlimited plan have to consider the multi-month prepay plans, which are also new-line only, or stay on Smart.
Does Cricket Select Unlimited include hotspot?
Not by default. Hotspot is sold as a paid add-on on this tier. Smart Unlimited at $45 includes 15GB and Supreme at $55 includes 50GB.
How much are four lines on Cricket Select Unlimited?
$100/mo total, or $25 per line, with taxes and fees included. That's among the lowest per-line prices available from a carrier with physical stores.
Is Select Unlimited better than Sensible 10GB?
Yes, clearly. It costs $5 more and is unlimited, with no 128 Kbps throttle and no $10-per-gigabyte overage. There's no reading of the two where Sensible wins.
Does Select Unlimited work in Mexico and Canada?
No. Usage there is included on Smart Unlimited and Supreme Unlimited only. Select includes unlimited calls and texts from the US to both countries.
