How to Cancel Cricket Wireless
Skycopia rates Cricket Wireless as medium to cancel, and you'll have to call. Expect some friction and probably an offer to stay, not a one-click exit.
Cancellation line: 1-800-274-2538
Cancelling is the easy part — making it stick is the hard part. Skycopia watches the charge from both sides: a nudge before the renewal date so you don't miss your window, and an alert if Cricket Wireless bills you again after you've cancelled. It reads your bank data and keeps you on top of your cancellations and subscriptions.

Ready to cancel it yourself? Sky can walk you through it one step at a time — or just read the steps below.
Cancellation steps
- 1
Call the number above (or visit a Cricket store) — there's no online "cancel my line" button on cricketwireless.com
- 2
Just want the line to stop instead of a formal cancel? Turn off Auto Pay at cricketwireless.com/manageautopay or in the myCricket app at least 5 days before your payment due date (Auto Pay charges 2 days before the due date) — your line then runs until the end of the period you already paid for and isn't renewed
Or have Sky walk you through it one step at a time, warning you before the retention offer — then watch your bank data to confirm the charge actually stopped.
What they'll try to keep you
A representative offering a discount or plan change before processing the cancellation.
Say this: “I want to cancel service, not change plans — please process the cancellation and confirm there's no remaining balance due.”
Charged again after cancelling? Dispute it with your card issuer — the steps above are your proof you cancelled, and the date you did it. Skycopia flags a zombie rebill the moment it lands, so you catch it inside the dispute window instead of six months later.
