You can pay your Cricket phone bill online without signing in using the Quick Pay option on the Cricket Wireless website, or you can log into your account for a one-time payment.
Pay your cricket phone bill online without signing in
Use the Quick Pay option on the Cricket Wireless website to make a payment without logging into your account. This is the fastest way to pay if you don't have your login credentials handy.
- Go to the Quick Pay section on the Cricket website.
- Enter your Cricket phone number.
- Select your payment method: credit card, debit card, Cricket Refill Card, or Service Payment Card.
- Enter the payment details for your chosen method.
- Accept the Terms and Conditions.
- Select "Submit Payment" to complete the transaction.
Pay online by signing into your account
Signing into your Cricket account gives you access to your full billing history and account settings. To make a one-time payment after logging in:
- Navigate to the "Payments" section of your account.
- Enter your credit or debit card information and the amount you want to pay.
- Accept the Terms and Conditions.
- Select "Review Payment" to check your details.
- Select "Submit Payment" to complete the transaction.
Use the myCricket app for one-tap payments
The myCricket App allows you to pay your bill with just a few taps on your smartphone. The app accepts credit cards, debit cards, Cricket Refill Cards, Apple Pay, Google Pay, Samsung Pay, and PayPal. Simply open the app, navigate to the payment section, choose your preferred digital wallet or card, and confirm the payment.
Set up Auto Pay and get a $5 monthly credit
Auto Pay automatically charges your credit or debit card for your monthly or multi-month plan total, so you never miss a due date. Payments are typically charged two days before your plan's payment due date. To enroll:
- Sign in to "Manage Your Account" on the Cricket website.
- Select "ON" under "Auto Pay Status."
- Input your preferred payment method.
- Check the boxes to confirm "Enroll in Auto Pay" and "Electronic Communications Consent."
- Select "Activate Auto Pay."
Eligible individual customers on plans $35/month or higher can receive a $5 monthly Auto Pay credit. The Auto Pay credit is not available for multi-month rate plans, Simply Data plans, or accounts receiving certain promotional offers.
Pay by phone using the automated system
Dial *PAY (*729) from your Cricket phone or call 1-800-274-2538 to use Cricket's Automated Payment System. Follow the voice prompts to enter your payment information. A $5 Customer Assistance Fee applies to payments made through the Automated Phone System, so this method is best reserved for situations where you cannot pay online or in person.
Make an in-store payment with cash, card, or digital wallet
Visit a Cricket store or authorized payment center to pay in person. Accepted payment methods include cash, credit card, debit card, Apple Pay, Google Pay, Samsung Pay, and reloadable prepaid credit cards. A $5 Customer Assistance Fee applies to payments made in Cricket stores, except for payments made in Cricket stores in Connecticut or Vermont. Bring your account information and the payment amount when you visit.
Other payment options: BridgePay and gift cards
BridgePay allows you to split your monthly amount due into two separate payments, providing a 7-day service extension. BridgePay can be set up online, via Chat, or at a Cricket store, usually with a fee. This is useful if you need extra time to pay your full bill.
Gift Cards can be used for one-time payments but are not accepted for Auto Pay. If you have a gift card, you can apply it through the Quick Pay option or while signed into your account for a single payment. For those managing T-Mobile purchases and billing, T-Mobile Billing, Insurance and Purchases Explained offers separate guidance for that carrier.
