Cricket Wireless is an American wireless service provider owned by AT&T. It has ten million customers in the United States that use its wireless services. Cricket Wireless was created in March 1999 by Leap Wireless International. AT&T acquired Leap Wireless International in March 2014 and eventually merged Cricket Wireless and Aio Wireless operations.
