How to Enable 5G on Cricket:

In order to get 5G on your Cricket phone you should meet the following three criteria -

  1. Get a 5G Phone: First and foremost, you should have a 5G capable handset. It might be a bit costlier than the normal 4G LTE or 4G compatible phones as these are new to the market.
  2. 5G SIM Card : In order to use 5G on Cricket, you should upgrade to a new 5G SIM card i.e., get a replacement of existing SIM.
  3. 5G Network Availability
    : 5G is still new and expanding to provide maximum coverage. It might be possible that you might not get 5G at your home, office, or on the go. So it is recommended to turn your Network mode to Auto so that it uses 5G wherever available and 4G LTE or 3G elsewhere. It even switches to 2G when there is no signal in areas like the parts of Yellowstone National Park or at Grand Canyon.

I hope it's working for you! At any point in time, you can contact Cricket customer care for help.
