Frequently asked questions

Are these brands owned by the networks they use?

Yes. Cricket is AT&T’s prepaid brand and Metro belongs to T-Mobile, which means coverage is identical to the parent network but prices and device offers differ.

Which has the better multi-line discount?

Both discount heavily at four lines. The four-line plans of each brand are listed below with their total monthly cost so the comparison is exact.
