Is there a way to use Cricket in Canada? They do seem to have affordable Mexican rates.

What is their coverage like in the Western US. Need excellent voice coverage especially in the PNW rural areas.

Should be pretty good, now that they use AT&T's network. You can check specific places here, just select AT&T as carrier: Unbiased Wireless Network Information. From people just like you - Sensorly

And if you're wondering if calling Canada is just as affordable as calling Mexico ($5 for unlimited mobile to landline and 1000 minutes m2m,) then yes: https://www.cricketwireless.com/supp...countries.html
