Are u serious Verizon would never do anything like that. How would that benifit them. Have you ever heard you get what you pay for. Cricket is crap. They have no Roaming agreement that limits its coverage to certain area and they target mostly customers with no or bad credit. Now if criket had towers where verizon didnt like in the middle of no where then it would benifit them some. Thats why they bought out Ramcell and that other company. Not to gain customers but to gain coverage and change those towers to evdo. Which was a very good decision.
@ Bubs. When i say Roaming agreements i meant with verizon. They have no towers where Verizon do not work at so it wouldnt benifit them to buy them. Yeah they might have roaming agreement with sprint. But all that mean is sprint lend them the towers they want not all of them. Im from South Louisiana and Cricket does not work, and then again sprint dont really work either lol. You have to think from a buisness perspective, you think a company that charge 55 dollars for all that can rent all of sprint towers. They would lose more money than they would gain. Cricket has not come a long way I sell more cell phones in houston than u can dream, and everyday i have a customer switching from cricket to a major company cause the service is so crappy, they have to pay at least a 150 dollar deposit to one of the big three.

@ Downsouth821 , Cricket has a roaming agreement with Sprint . Just look at their plans ...
The Cricket Nation 200 $60.00 Plan includes:
UNLIMITED: anytime minutes
UNLIMITED: US long distance (excluding Alaska)
UNLIMITED: coverage in all Cricket markets
FREE text & picture messaging
Voice mail, caller ID, call waiting & 3-way calling
200 nationwide roaming minutes per month
They have a cheaper one for 55.00 bucks with a 100 roaming minutes . Cricket has come a long ways in the past year alone.
