Are you trying to keep track of your data usage with Cricket? You’re in luck! This guide will help you navigate the process of checking your high-speed data, whether you’re using the Online Account or the myCricket app. Cricket customers need to stay informed of their data limits to avoid unexpected slowdowns, so let’s dive into it!
How to Check Your Data Usage with Cricket
Viewing Data Usage via Your Online Account
To check your data usage through your Cricket Online Account, follow these simple steps:
- Sign in to your Online Account.
- Click on “Account” in the navigation bar at the top.
- Scroll down and select “Usage.”
- If you have multiple lines on your account, be sure to pick the line for which you want to check data usage.
Using the myCricket App
The myCricket app makes it even easier to track your data right from your smartphone. Just follow these steps:
- Open the myCricket App and sign in.
- Tap on “Usage” at the bottom of the app screen.
- Again, if you have more than one line, make sure to select the correct line to view usage.
Understanding Your Data Usage
It’s important to know what counts toward your data usage. Every time you read an email, stream a video, or browse the internet, you’re using data. Once you exceed your high-speed data limit, your speeds will be reduced for the remainder of your billing cycle. Though you’ll still have data access, some apps might run a bit slower.
Keep in mind that Cricket provides unlimited calls and texts in the U.S., so you won’t have to worry about those affecting your data!
Mobile Hotspot and Tethering Data Usage
If you’re using your Cricket phone as a Mobile Hotspot to connect other devices to the internet, it’s crucial to understand how this affects your data usage:
- Your Mobile Hotspot capability allows you to connect multiple devices using Wi-Fi or a USB cable.
- The data used while tethering will be deducted from your plan’s high-speed data allowance.
- If you’re on a Cricket Unlimited plan, you’ll have 10 GB of high-speed Mobile Hotspot data. Once this is used, tethering speeds will drop to 128 Kbps for the rest of your billing cycle.
