Why waste your unlimited data plan from Cricket Wireless by using a run-of-the-mill cellphone? Sure, you may say that you just need a phone to talk, but that’s because you can’t do all the cool things a smartphone can provide. If you still don’t think you’re ready for a high-tech smartphone, the follow reasons will change your mind.

Never Log Off, Always Stay Connected

Imagine never having to log in or log off from all your applications, from Gmail to Facebook to Twitter. Instead, you stay logged on at all times, and be notified if you have a message or someone wants to chat. That’s the reality of smartphones, which work seamlessly with all the major applications and sites.

Handle Your Business

Smartphones are ideal for working on the go. Not only are numerous business apps available, but smartphones come equipped with a host of tools from calendars to note pads. And the nifty little video camera can let you videoconference into any big company meeting.

Entertain Yourself

The large, clean screens of smartphones make them perfect hand-held devices for watching movies and playing games. Their memory capacity also make them great for downloading an expansive collection of music.

Useful for More Than Communicating

If you ever wished you had a camera during an unexpected moment, you would have with a smartphone. Unlike most cellphones, the built-in cameras on smartphones pack a punch. With strong zoom capability, they can take impressive photos as well as very clear footage — and they can all be sent instantly from your smartphone.
