Cricket Announces Muve Music Included with all Android Rate Plans

Personally I don’t like Cricket, I had too many issues with them when I was using their service, but that was years ago and maybe things have changed?! Anyway, Cricket has just announced that all of their Android phone plans are including Muve Music at no additional cost. If their data plan is truly unlimited, and we know what ‘unlimited’ really means, then Muve Music might be be useful and something I’d actually use.

Cricket Communications, Inc., a leading provider of innovative and value-driven wireless services, today announced the expansion of its award-winning Muve Music service. Beginning on September 2, Muve Music will be included in all Cricket Android rate plans making the music service more broadly available and affordable for its Android smartphone customers. Cricket’s new Android rate plans include unlimited nationwide talk, text, data and music for as low as $50per month. Including music in all rate plans is one component of the Company’s enhanced rate plans announced today.

Muve Music, the first unlimited music service to be included as part of a wireless service plan, has quickly become one of the fastest growing digital music services in the US. With other carriers, customers who want unlimited song downloads, ringtones and ringback tones have to pay separately for these services.

Breakthrough New Wireless Model: Integrating Unlimited Music
By including unlimited music in its core Android offering, Cricket is delivering a differentiated and innovative wireless product in the marketplace. Now with Cricket, music will be as universal as the voice mail and text features customers have come to expect when they buy their wireless plans

In order to deliver a leading customer experience, Cricket combines affordable Android wireless plans with a leading digital music service that customers use heavily and highly value. Over the last 18 months, a majority of Cricket’s customers purchasing new handsets selected smartphones or Muve Music enabled devices. Over time, a growing segment of Cricket’s customer base is expected to have the Muve Music service included in their plan.
