    Since Sprint uses a CDMA based network, and CDMA based phones (similar to crickets). Yes you can, although cricket does NOT have a 3G compatible network. The fast internet speeds you can get with Sprint will slow to a crawl with Cricket's internet service. Picture messaging will also be disabled,(I think) since sprint uses Picture Mail servers, and cricket does not have these.

    So, all in all, you'd save some money, you'd just have to make some cut offs. Slower internet, no picture messaging(although you can still send picture attachments with email), sprintTV will be useless(I don't use this anyway), google maps and any other internet relied programs will be noticeably slower.

    could be waiting to, the two are CDMA based radio structures and the two run, ordinarily, on the 1900 Mhz spectrum. the main significant factors like pictures and such could desire to be replied via Cricket in case they use some thing the Centro doesnt help.
