I'm in the same boat.
Although at&t bought cricket mobile. Cricket phones are still CDMA and not GSM i highly doubt they will switch them over.
I guess I could be wrong, but I believe that the Cricket Moto G's are GSM phones. Also I think I read that all new phones being sold are GSM. MetroPCS did the same thing; stopped selling CDMA and started selling GSM. Metro still supports CDMA in some places but not in others.
All cricket phones sold are gsm. They have been for a while now. They use att's network. In fact att has been quick to disable crickets old cdma network and use the spectrum for there own. That was the whole reason they bought cricket. To the op . No the cricket moto g can't be rooted. Att blocked the boot loader from being unlocked
Yea they switched almost the minute after the sale was finalized. They basically merged it with there aio brand. They have decent pricing I think 60 bucks gets you unlimited talk text and 10gb of LTE data and throttled after. The only "catch" is your LTE speeds are capped at 8mbps. They really only bought cricket for the spectrum in urban areas. Att has had congestion issues since the first iPhone and when they had to give away spectrum to t mobile as part of the breakup fee it really put them in a bind.
yeah which sucks TOTALLY i plan moving phone providers in the near future. But do you know if it will be getting the lollipop OTA update at least.
I dunno. The phone itself will get the lollipop update yes. Whether or not att decides to release it and when? That's a whole other issue. Same with the boost and Verizon models. Moto says they will be updated. When the carriers decide to push those updates is completely up to the carrier.
