Subsidiary of Leap Wireless, Cricket is known for offering low and mid end devices to its subscribers. The new Samsung JetSet may have some nice specs, but it still fits well into the not that highly-featured family of phones from Cricket.
Compatible with Cricket's AWS network, the JetSet is a typical Samsung clamshell, so don't expect too much from its look:
