Cricket Communications introduced Cricket PAYGo, a 24/7 unlimited prepaid wireless service. Cricket PAYGo is a daily pay-as-you-go service.

Cricket PAYGo customers choose one of three rate plans ($1, $2 or $3 per day). At each level, customers will receive unlimited service 24/7 for the features offered at that level. For all three levels of service, customers are charged only for the days they use and customers can easily transition between plans at any time throughout the week or month.
