Cricket Communications announced a $5 monthly service for unlimited mobile video downloads.
Customers can watch clips of 1 to 4 minutes in length, such as music videos, sports news, movie trailers and more, the company said. There are no other data charges and the service can be added to any Cricket plan.
“This service provides customers a new opportunity to personalize their handsets. Whether they opt for Reggaeton videos or YU-GI-OH! clips, all customers can appreciate the value of unlimited downloads for one low flat rate,” Cricket’s T. Scott Edwards, senior vice president of marketing said in a media release today.
Users will also be able to search and make recommendations. The service is available now on selected handsets through a WAP browser.
Cricket is a no-contract subsidiary of Leap Wireless.
