Best credit card to use at Cricket Wireless.

Cell Phone Providers

Cricket Wireless, AT&T's prepaid brand, sells no-contract phone plans and devices. Payments code as a wireless or telecom charge, so they earn extra only on a card with a cell-phone or wireless bonus, otherwise dropping to flat-rate. A bonus here is that some cards add cell-phone protection when you pay the monthly bill with them, which is worth checking before you set autopay.
