Just to let you know, Cricket is NOT necessarily your problem. First, you state that you went to a "Cricket booth" inside of Park Plaza Mall. Unfortunately Cricket doesn't have just "booths" in a mall. Cricket has full-service stores that sell ONLY Cricket phones. You went to an AUTHORIZED DEALER that sells Cricket phones. They can ONLY sell you a phone and take payments, NOTHING MORE. To confirm the address of the "booth" you went to, go to www.mycricket.com and type in the zip code 92020. It should pull up the store "Axxel Communications" @ 415 Parkway Plaza, which is the store you went to. Second, the ladies at the booth must have shown you a "Travel Time" coverage area which DOES include Louisiana. It costs extra money to have the Travel Time feature on your phone, and is quite expensive if all of your calls are outside Cricket's "home" markets. The normal Cricket calling area is only limited to metropolitan areas and doesn't include Louisiana. On Cricket's webiste www.mycricket.com click on "Coverage Maps" at the top, then enter "California" and "San Diego" as your state and city. It will give you the calling area for the local market, as well as the Travel Time market. Travel Time market is in LIGHT GREEN, and the "unlimited" market is in DARK GREEN. Thirdly, the Cricket reps' being rude was uncalled for. It wasn't Cricket that informed you incorrectly, it was the reps at the "booth" that you went to. Cricket cannot give you a Louisiana phone # because they do not have a local service area there. Forthly, Cricket does have a contact email online at mycricket.com/cricketsupport/contactus. Fill out the form and someone should contact you regarding your issue. Hope this helps....
