Wireless:

Poor signal: You might be located in an area with weak Cricket coverage. 

Account issues: Unpaid bill or service suspension could prevent calls. 

SIM card problem: A damaged or improperly inserted SIM card could cause call issues. 

Phone settings: Check if your phone is in airplane mode, do not disturb mode, or has incorrect network settings. 

Device malfunction: A faulty phone could be the cause. 

Network outage: Sometimes, Cricket might experience temporary network disruptions. 

What to try:

Check signal strength: Look at your phone's signal bars to see if you have adequate coverage. 

Restart your phone: Turning your phone off and on again can often fix minor glitches. 

Verify account status: Check your Cricket account balance to ensure it's paid up. 

Check SIM card: Remove and reinsert your SIM card to ensure proper connection. 

Update phone software: Make sure your phone has the latest software updates. 

Contact Cricket support: If the problem persists, reach out to Cricket customer service for further assistance.
