Cricket Wireless has partnered with streaming music service Deezer to bring customers more than 35 million songs and 30,000 global radio stations.
Starting Jan. 31, Paris-based Deezer will be available to U.S. mobile subscribers for the first time.
.Deezer Family is available for up to 6 members of the same household residing at the same address. 6 Deezer profiles for £14.99/month. If you are a Deezer Premium subscriber and choose to upgrade to Deezer Family, you will immediately be charged £14.99. Cricket Protect. Cricket Protect is available for $7 per month and covers you from loss, theft, accidental damage, liquid damage, and in-warranty exchanges and out-of-warranty malfunctions. Deductible and other terms apply. Deezer is Cricket's music streaming service. New Cricket Wireless customers will get a 15-day free trial.
There is a catch, however: Deezer will acquire Cricket's Muve Music service and discontinue it on Feb. 7.
Affected users will get an extended free trial of Deezer when they switch to Cricket's new GSM network. The length of the free trial depends on the date you sign up for Deezer and/or migrate to Cricket's new GSM network, and the date of your billing cycle. Once the comp period ends, users will automatically be billed $6 per month.
Don't worry about losing access to your favorite Kanye tracks or Broadway albums. Muve customers making the switch will be able to transfer existing music libraries and playlists into the Deezer app—as long as the tracks are available.
But beware: According to the small print, folks who sign up for Deezer while on Cricket's CDMA network will have access through March 31, after which they'll be switched to the free streaming radio service.
Downloads and playlists will be available only to active paid subscribers of Deezer from Cricket.
AT&T acquired Leap Wireless and its Cricket brand in 2013, and as part of that deal, AT&T will shut down Cricket's CDMA network since AT&T runs a GSM network. That could happen as early as March.
'Cricket has done an incredible job building Muve into one of the largest music services in the U.S.,' Tyler Goldman, Deezer's North American CEO, said in a statement. 'Deezer's 16 million listeners around the world share the same passion for music. We're thrilled to serve the music needs of Cricket's vibrant audience.'
Muve Music arrived in 2010 as a bundle with unlimited calling, texting, e-mail, and Web access for $55 per month. But in recent years, more sophisticated music streaming services - from Spotify and Rdio to Pandora and Deezer - have gained in popularity at the expense of smaller services like Muve.
Deezer landed in the U.S. in September, but only on Sonos home-audio systems. Subscribers can instantly stream jams or create customer stations, all while discovering new songs and artists using personalized recommendations.
The company recently acquired San Francisco-based radio app Stitcher, which offers access to news, entertainment, comedy, and sports podcasts.
'Customers are demanding more compelling services from both their music and wireless providers,' said Jennifer Van Buskirk, Cricket Wireless president. 'This agreement illustrates our ongoing commitment to deliver the best value in prepaid wireless and satisfy our customers' growing need for an unparalleled premium music experience.'
Deezer Acquires Muve Music and Debuts Largest Streaming Music Library on US Smartphones
This month, Cricket Wireless announced an exclusive wireless agreement with Deezer, one of the most popular music streaming services worldwide. On January 31, Cricket customers will have access to 35 million songs and more than 30,000 Internet radio stations from around the world, helping Cricket continue to deliver great value to customers by combining the world’s largest streaming music catalog with more 4G LTE coverage than T-Mobile, Sprint, MetroPCS and Boost.
How To Cancel Deezer Subscription
The deal marks the first time Deezer will be available to mobile subscribers in the U.S. Since re-launching in May of 2014, Cricket has been on a mission to design a better wireless experience for its customers. First, it upgraded the network and retail experiences, and now it enhances the mobile music experience with Deezer from Cricket, a unique and exclusive world-class music experience not available with any other U.S wireless carrier.
Cricket will discontinue its existing Muve Music service on February 7, 2015 and by January 31 offer existing Muve customers an extended free trial1 of Deezer from Cricket when they switch to Cricket’s new GSM network. Muve customers who switch and sign up for the extended free trial and download the Deezer app will also be able to transfer their existing music libraries2 and playlists right to the app so they can keep listening to the music they love during the trial period and for as long as they remain subscribed to the paid service.
“Cricket has done an incredible job building Muve into one of the largest music services in the U.S.,” said Tyler Goldman, North American Chief Executive Officer of Deezer. “Deezer’s 16 million listeners around the world share the same passion for music. We’re thrilled to serve the music needs of Cricket’s vibrant audience.”
All new and existing Cricket customers on the new LTE network are also eligible for a minimum 15-day free trial of Deezer. After the free trial period, Cricket customers will be automatically billed only $6/per month for Deezer from Cricket unless canceled – that’s $4 less than other premium services.
“Customers are demanding more compelling services from both their music and wireless providers,” said Jennifer Van Buskirk, President of Cricket Wireless. “This agreement illustrates our ongoing commitment to deliver the best value in prepaid wireless and satisfy our customers’ growing need for an unparalleled premium music experience.”
The agreement with Cricket and the acquisition of Muve Music is another example of Deezer’s approach to super serving the needs of consumers around the world. Deezer also recently acquired Stitcher to best serve talk radio listeners and launched high definition audio to serve music enthusiasts and audiophiles.
