  Hi There, &lt;br&gt; My name is Marty and I work on behalf of Cricket Wireless and wanted &lt;br&gt; to clarify one of the comments made here. &lt;br&gt; Cricket does advertise in the online yellow pages.

  These charlatans are not even listed with the BETTER BUSINESS BUREAU &lt;br&gt; of Washington, DC &amp;amp; Eastern PA! &lt;br&gt; And although Cricket has shops in the D.C. area, they have listed &lt;br&gt; neither telephone numbers in the phone directories or ads in the &lt;br&gt; yellow pages.
