I hope I can help with your situation if you are still experiencing issues. In Oregon Cricket has a localized service center with reps to help Mon-Fri 9am-5pm. The email address is [email protected] please feel free to call it or to call one of our store numbers and press 4 to speak with one of the local representatives. The can also explain what is happening with the texting while roaming. Also just so their aren't any misunderstanding out there. Cricket owns all of it's own tower equipment. It is a very common practice in the industry to rent space on other carrier towers. In doing so companies are not only saving money, but they are lowering the impact on the environment and neighborhoods. I hope this response helps and that we can help resolve some issues.

something most of us do not realize ( at first) is cricket is not a real wireless company ( they dont have their own cell towers, infastructure, ect) they just sell time on other "real" companies systems. best deal I have found is tmobile prepaid. got a sim card with $30 time on it for under $5 and put another $70 on it to reach their "gold plan" now the phone ( any phone that will take the sim card) will work for a year, I have 1000 nation wide minutes ( 10 cents a minute) no monthly fee. if I add more time the sim card stays active for a year from the date I add more time real bargin for someone that does not burn up minutes.
