One of the best mobile phone service is cricket mobile phone

There are several mobile phone service providers that deliver the same type of service but vary in price. The more expensive ones have wider coverage so people can use their phones anywhere they go. If you are on a budget and don't really go anywhere further than the city you live in then the Cricket phone may just be the type of mobile service for you. Cricket offers low cost mobile service plans that are easily affordable. Brand new mobile phones can be expensive but you can purchase used mobile phones if you need an extra phone or one that has more features than the one you currently have.

• Purchase a Cricket phone online. There are websites online that sell used Cricket cell phones. There are a variety of brands and models to choose from. These mobile phones are fairly new models that the previous owner stopped using because they purchased a newer model. You will find used Cricket phones on websites like eBay and Crayton Electronics. Search for the mobile phone model that appeals to you and then follow the instructions to make the purchase. The mobile phone will be delivered to your home after a few days.

• Look for the ESN number. To get the ESN number of your Cricket mobile phone you have to look under the battery. Take off the battery cover and then take out the battery. You will find a label under the battery, which is attached to the mobile phone body. The label will look like the bar codes you see on products.

Copy the mobile phone's brand and model on a sheet of paper and then locate the ESN number. The service provider needs the ESN number from your cell phone to identify it in their database.

There are three groups of numbers on the label. Some of the groups will contain a combination of letters and numbers but this isn't what we're looking for. Look for the 11-digit code that follows one of these acronyms: ESN, HEX or DEC. On a sheet of paper copy the ESN number from the mobile phone. Put the battery back into the mobile phone. Attach the phone charger and plug it into the wall outlet. Wait for the phone to charge.

• Call the Customer Service. To activate your phone you need to call Cricket's customer service and give them the ESN number you got from the cell phone. They will also want to know the mobile phone's brand and model. Use the information you wrote down on the sheet of paper to provide your mobile phone's details. You will be given instructions to turn off the phone and dial a number after the call. Follow the instructions and wait for you phone to be activated.

Getting your Cricket mobile phone activated is simple and takes just a few minutes of your time.
