Just download a Cricket eSIM to your phone and activate it. Unlike a pSIM you can remove, an eSIM is embedded, making it difficult to be lost or stolen. Using digital technology, an eSIM lets you conveniently activate service without purchasing or waiting for a pSIM. No more waiting for a pSIM to arrive and manually inserting it before you can start making calls, sending texts, and using data. See the National Verifier for details.ESIM stands for “embedded SIM”, which means it’s already inside your phone, allowing you to switch to Cricket and activate your service more quickly than with a physical SIM (pSIM). You must show, with documentation as needed, that your household income is at or below 200% of Federal Poverty Guidelines for a household of that size or that at least one member of the household participates in a qualifying federal assistance program (Medicaid, Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program, Supplemental Security Income, Federal Public Housing Assistance, WIC, or Veterans and Survivors Pension Benefit) or receives benefits under a certain Federal free and reduced price lunch program or school breakfast program or received a Federal Pell Grant in the current award year or, if on eligible Tribal Lands, participates in certain eligible Tribal-specific federal assistance programs. Eligible Consumers: To establish eligibility, you must enter your eligibility information into the National Verifier at, then visit a Cricket Wireless store or /ACP to complete your enrollment. If your monthly service charge is $0 after the discount, you must use your service each calendar month, or the discount will be removed. Cricket reserves the right to remove the monthly discount at any time. If the Affordable Connectivity Program ends or you are no longer eligible to participate, standard rates will apply.

ACP eligible households are subject to Cricket’s otherwise applicable general terms and conditions. The ACP benefit is non-transferable and is limited to one benefit per household. Once qualified, go to /acp to get the ACP benefit added to your Cricket service. To see if you qualify for ACP, go to the federal government’s National Verifier site at. You may qualify based on your household income or if at least one member of your household participates in a qualifying federal assistance program. The federal government’s Affordable Connectivity Program (ACP), administered by the FCC, helps eligible households pay for wireless service with a monthly benefit of up to $30 (or up to $75 on eligible Tribal areas).
