Calls and voicemail
To experience Cricket HD Voice, both callers must have a compatible HD Voice
capable smartphone and make the call over Cricket’s LTE Network or a compatible
network. Cricket’s LTE coverage is not equivalent to its overall network coverage.
HD Voice calls made on a compatible device and on the LTE network may not
experience an HD Voice connection at times of network congestion. Other carriers’
networks may interoperate with Cricket’s LTE network to support an HD Voice call.
