US carrier Cricket Wireless has today announced the company will be stocking the 4G LTE Lumia 635 from November 7. The Windows Phone will be available in Cyan both online and in-store for $99 (with activation).
No-annual contract plans start from $35 a month (after $5 monthly Auto Pay credit), which isn't a bad deal combined with the initial handset fee for a Snapdragon 400-touting Windows Phone. If you've been holding off on picking up a new Lumia Windows Phone and are a fan of Cricket Wireless, you may want to wait until November 7 to check out this new option.
