Cricket announces a new $40 family plan, tweaks its iPhone plans

It seems like those businessmen at Cricket never rest! Not only are they getting the Samsung Galaxy S4, but they have also taken care of their plan portfolio by introducing a new family plan and updating their existing service offerings for the iPhone.

So, after that emotional intro, let us tell you about the new family plan! It will cost you $40 per line, and for that you're getting unlimited talk, text and data, though data speeds will be throttled once you reach the reasonable 1GB mark.

Meanwhile, iPhone users will like the news that the carrier is now lowering the monthly price of its iPhone plans. The most affordable service will cost $50 (instead of $55), which once again includes unlimited talk, text and 1GB of full-speed data (unlimited, but throttled afterwards). More demanding consumers can also take advantage of the $60 plan, which comes with 2.5GB of full-speed data, or even the $70 plan with 5GB of fast data.
