WRONG!!! Cricket doesn't borrow/lease towers from anyone else you ID10T! We may sublease a tower but not other companies service. Before you make a statement do just a little research! We use only our towers within our local coverage areas. When our customer travels outside of our local coverage area then they will roam on other carriers towers. I have no problem using my phone anywhere in my city. Hell my phone was working when other carriers phones had no service. Verizon is a great company I worked for them for 10 years. But don't under estimate what we are doing. If you don't travel often - sorry big boys - we are the company for you!
