Suspend & Restore Service

If you miss your due date, your service will be suspended. However, if your service is suspended for a missed payment, you can still change your plan. You can also remove features, but you can not add them until your service is restored.

If you lost your device or someone stole it, you can suspend your Cricket service. You can always upgrade to a new device on any active line of service.

If you have an account with multiple lines and one of your phones is lost or stolen, you can temporarily suspend that line. You will still need to pay for all lines to avoid an interruption in service. To suspend or cancel a line, please contact us.

What does suspended service mean?

While suspended:

  • You can't make or receive calls, texts, or use data.
  • You can call Customer Support at 611.
  • You can call 911.
  • You may change your plan and remove features.
Any account credit that is not used during the billing cycle is nonrefundable and nontransferable. This also applies while in suspend mode.
