Cricket isn't exactly a household name in wireless service providers. The T-Mobile HotSpots network consists of thousands of Wi-Fi access points installed in businesses, hotels, and airports throughout the U.S. When carriers widen their networks even www.mobilephonedealsplans.com more, we'll update this story periodically as news warrants.
