Calling this Cricket Communications Customer Number

By Jeff Whelpley

Sep 3, 2024

When you call the customer service phone number for Cricket Communications, you first interact with an automated messaging system. Interestingly, music plays before you hear the system start speaking. It informs you that the call may be recorded for the purpose of improving customer service and then instructs you to press or say 1 for English or press or say 2 for Spanish.

If you don't make a selection within the brief 2 seconds of pause time it allows, it automatically defaults to English and then moves on to a voice-activated system. Voice-activated systems, in my experience, rarely function well; it’s so much easier to press a keypad option and be certain that your selection is registered than to repeat the same phrase over and over again with clear enunciation, only to still be misheard.

If you don't respond within the approximately 2 seconds of pause time, the system will offer the following suggestions for you to say aloud:

• "Make the next payment on my account."
• "What are your store hours?"
• "What's my next payment?"
• "Buy more mobile data."

If you still don't say anything, the system will repeat these options. During the second cycle, the system provides different suggestions from the first cycle, and these can even vary from what is presented in other calls. I had to hang up and call back, and the secondary suggested options were different yet again. It seems the system uses a pool of options and randomly selects two to suggest, which seems like an odd practice.

If you don't make a verbal selection or if the system fails to register what you say, it will eventually switch to a keypad phone menu. I’m not sure why this option wasn’t available from the beginning. Eventually, I was able to navigate through the menu and reach a representative, but the process was rather cumbersome.

Jeff truly believes that all customers deserve good service. He’s been building tools, inventing phone tree hacks and helping customers since before his days at GetHuman. He's also a Google GDE and involved in the Angular community.
