Spanish Language Website Provides Complete Web Experience for Hispanic Consumers

~ www.MiCricket.com Includes Product and Service Information, Store Finder, Online Shopping and Account Management ~

SAN DIEGO – Cricket Communications, Inc, a leading provider of unlimited wireless services, announced the launch of their Spanish language website, www.MiCricket.com. The site provides Spanish speaking consumers interested in Cricket the ability to explore Cricket’s products and services, view promotions, make purchases online, access and manage their account online and find local store locations – all in their native language.

"MiCricket.com is example of how we continue to identify and implement programs that meet the needs and preferences of our customers. We developed the site in response to feedback from both our customers and employees that our Spanish-speaking customers wanted an online environment to explore and shop for Cricket’s products and services” said Michelle Pujol, director of direct channel operations for Cricket. “The new site provides Spanish-speakers interested in Cricket with the most comprehensive product and account information available."

Hispanics constitute the fastest-growing minority group in the U.S., according to the U.S. Census Bureau, and constitute an important market segment for Cricket. Hispanic customers currently make up approximately one third of Cricket’s customer base, compared to just 11% of the wireless industry on average according to the Yankee Group (June 2009).

Cricket employs Spanish speakers to help Hispanic customers learn about products, open Cricket accounts and assist with customer service questions. Cricket also offers customer service assistance in Spanish by calling 1-800-CRICKET (800-274-2538) and pressing “1;” the website adds yet another way for customers to get answers to questions quickly and easily. The Spanish site can also be accessed by clicking the “Español” link on the upper right hand corner of Cricket’s English language web site, www.mycricket.com.
