Cricket Wireless BridgePay: Split Your Bill and Extend Your Payment

Introduction

Cricket Wireless offers a convenient payment option called BridgePay, which allows you to split your bill into two separate payments. This can be helpful if you need a little extra time to pay your bill. In this article, we will explore how BridgePay works, how to set it up, and what you need to know about making payments and managing your account.

How Does BridgePay Work?

BridgePay allows you to split your Cricket bill into two payments. To set up BridgePay, you need to visit a Cricket store or call 1-800-CRICKET (1-800-274-2538) [1]. Here are some key points to keep in mind:

1. Auto Pay must be turned off to activate BridgePay.
2. BridgePay cannot be set up for new lines that haven’t been activated yet.
3. Any plan or feature changes scheduled for the start of your next bill must be canceled.
4. If you have chosen a promotional offer that expires before your next billing cycle, the offer will no longer be available.
5. You can cancel BridgePay before your original payment due date, and the BridgePay fee will be applied as a credit to your account.
6. If you miss the second payment due date, you will need to pay the total amount for the next month to restore your service.
7. BridgePay can only be set up once per billing cycle.

Account Suspension and BridgePay

If your service is suspended due to a missed payment, you can still set up BridgePay within seven days of your missed payment due date [1]. Here’s what you need to know:

1. Setting up BridgePay within seven days of your missed payment due date will reactivate your phone lines and reset your bill cycle start date.
2. If you miss the second payment due date, you will need to pay the total amount for the next billing month to restore your service.
3. BridgePay can only be set up once per billing cycle.

Making the Second BridgePay Payment

You can make your second BridgePay payment using various methods:

1. myCricket App
2. Quick Pay online
3. In a Cricket store
4. By calling 1-800-274-2538 and using the voice prompts [1].

BridgePay Fees

To use BridgePay, you will need to pay an activation fee. For a single-line account, the fee is $5, and for a multiline account, it is $10 (changing to $15 on November 1, 2023) [1]. Additionally, you will need to pay the minimum payment due for each line on your account. Only one BridgePay activation fee is charged per account per billing cycle.

BridgePay Extension

If you need more time to make your second BridgePay payment, Cricket Wireless offers a BridgePay Extension. This allows you to extend your BridgePay by another seven days [2]. To be eligible for a BridgePay Extension, you must already be registered in BridgePay and have made your first payment. Additional fees and the original BridgePay enrollment terms apply. You can set up a BridgePay Extension in-store or by calling Customer Care at 1-800-CRICKET (1-800-274-2538) [2].

Conclusion

Cricket Wireless BridgePay is a convenient payment option that allows you to split your bill into two payments. It provides flexibility and extra time to pay your bill. Remember to set up BridgePay within the specified time frame and make your second payment on time to avoid service suspension. If you need more time, you can consider a BridgePay Extension.
