Cricket intros new Muze unlimited music plan

Posted: 20 Dec 2010 05:02 AM PST

Today Cricket announced its new Muve Music rate plan. For $55 per month Cricket customers get unlimited nationwide calling, text, 3G web, and full track music download from Muze Music. Muze Music provides tracks from Universal Music Group, Warner Music Group, Sony Music Entertainment, and EMI Music. Users can also download unlimited ringtones and ringback tones. The music files are DRM free, but they are stored on a protected memory card from SanDisk, which we assume means the songs can't be played back on another devices. Cricket's Muze Music plan will be supported on the Samsung SCH-r710 Suede at launch, a feature phone with a 3-inch touchscreen display.
