Wireless announced today that GameStop now offers Cricket's
wireless products and services in 3,400 U.S. locations, making
GameStop Cricket's largest retail distributor.
"We are pleased to have been Cricket's first national
distribution network and now we're its largest," said Jason Cochran, senior vice president of U.S.
