I didn't have any activation fee at the time I did it online. I got a phone, transferred my number from gophone. We did another one for a stepdaughter, but different account. Yes, its autopay, you get a $5 credit in the account a few days before it charges. Its worth to do auto for me to save those $5.
It was just the cheapest I could find while being reliable and easy to use. I also needed a phone since I only had a dumb one at the time.
I think the 9.99 is for the sim card if you bring your own phone. Since I bought one from cricket online, sim was free. Nice phone too, MotoG. Don't think they have it anymore. I think if I need a new phone in the future, I just have to stick the sim into it, assuming its the same size.
From what I understand they regularly have the sim on sale for like 99 cents for the bring your own.
I am just glad to have the security now with a reliable phone and plan. I had to drive around a lot this year from doc to doc and some of the areas have bad coverage and I have no sense of directions. I can pull up a map whenever I need. I can't deal with talking GPS thingies as I only drive back roads, not highways.
If I hadn't had a phone already, the Fire phone sure would have been nice too. But I only need one.
