Cricket is a small and economic carrier compared to most major cell phone carriers we’re mostly familiar with, Cricket also does not allow porting a number from a landline, only from other cell phone carrier, so we’ve come up with a nice solution:

We’ll port the number you purchased into a mobile carrier, there’s a nominal fee of $20 for this process, and keep in mind that it will take approximately 3-5 days to complete, and as soon as the number is ready for porting into your Cricket line, we’ll send you concise and clear instructions along with all the relevant account information on how to complete the port to Cricket.
