Cricket Wireless is open on Sundays at most locations, but hours vary by store

Cricket Wireless, the prepaid phone service owned by AT&T, operates on Sundays at the majority of its stores. However, the exact hours depend on which store you visit — some open at 10 a.m., others at 11 a.m., and closing times range from 6 p.m. to 8 p.m. A few locations in smaller towns or rural areas may have different schedules or be closed entirely on Sundays, so checking your specific store's hours before you go is the fastest way to know.

You can find your local store's Sunday hours by visiting Cricket's website, entering your zip code, and clicking on the store listing. The store page shows the full weekly schedule. You can also call the store directly — the phone number appears in the same search result — and ask what time they open and close on Sunday.

Key Takeaways

  • Most Cricket Wireless stores are open on Sundays, typically between 10 a.m. and 8 p.m., but hours vary by location.
  • The fastest way to confirm your store's Sunday hours is to search for it on Cricket's website using your zip code.
  • You can purchase a phone, add a line, pay a bill, or troubleshoot service issues on Sunday during store hours.
  • If your local store is closed on Sunday or has limited hours, you can handle many tasks online through your Cricket account or by calling customer service.

What you can do at a Cricket store on Sunday

Cricket stores handle the same services on Sunday as they do on weekdays. You can buy a new phone, set up a line, add a family member to your account, pay your bill in person, upgrade your plan, or swap a SIM card. Staff can also help troubleshoot connection problems, replace a damaged phone under warranty, or answer questions about your service.

If you need to do something specific, calling ahead on Sunday morning is a good idea — it tells you whether the store is actually open that day and whether staff are available to help with your particular task. Some stores get busy on Sunday afternoons, so arriving earlier in the day often means shorter wait times.

Handling Cricket tasks online or by phone instead

You do not need to visit a store on Sunday to handle most Cricket business. You can log into your Cricket account online to pay your bill, change your plan, add a line, or check your data usage. The Cricket website and mobile app are available 24 hours a day, seven days a week.

For questions or problems, Cricket's customer service phone line operates on Sundays. The hours vary slightly by region, but most locations have support available from morning through evening. If you call and reach an automated system, you can usually select an option to speak with a representative or request a callback rather than waiting on hold.

Finding a Cricket store that is definitely open

Cricket stores are often located inside larger retailers like Walmart, Best Buy, or Target. If you are unsure whether a standalone Cricket location is open on Sunday, checking the hours of the host store first can save you a trip. For example, if Cricket operates inside a Walmart, that Walmart's Sunday hours explore — many Walmarts open at 8 a.m. on Sunday, which is earlier than the Cricket counter itself may staff.

Some areas have multiple Cricket locations. If one store's Sunday hours do not work for you, searching your zip code again may show another store nearby with different hours. Rural areas sometimes have only one Cricket location, and those stores are more likely to have limited Sunday hours or be closed entirely.

What to bring when you visit on Sunday

If you are buying a new phone or activating service, bring a photo ID and a payment method — debit card, credit card, or cash. If you are adding a family member to your account, bring their ID as well. If you are upgrading an existing line or troubleshooting a problem, bring the phone itself and your account PIN if you have one set up.

For bill payments, you can pay with a debit card, credit card, or cash. If you are switching from another carrier and want to keep your phone number, have your account number and PIN from your old carrier ready — the Cricket staff will need them to port the number over.

When Cricket stores are typically closed

Most Cricket stores are closed on major holidays like Christmas Day, Thanksgiving, New Year's Day, and Independence Day. Some stores may also close on Easter or Memorial Day, though this varies. The store's website listing shows holiday closures, or you can call ahead to confirm.

On regular Sundays, the only reason a store would be closed is if it operates in a very small town or if it is located inside a retailer that does not open on Sunday. Some states or municipalities have different rules about retail hours on Sunday, though this is rare in the United States today.
