The cities most affected include Houston, Phoenix, Chicago, San Antonio, Denver, Mountain View, Philadelphia, Los Angeles, Las Vegas, and Portland, according to Down Detector.

On its website Cricket Wireless says it covers 317 million people with its no-contract service.

Cricket operates using AT&T cell towers, but AT&T customers have not been reporting the same level of outages.

Many Cricket Wireless customers took to Twitter Friday evening to complain:

Cricket Wireless is REALLY living up to their name today. All crickets with this outage. My bill better be just as quiet too. @Cricketnation

#CricketWireless is not working on North Texas. For the past 3 hours no service, no e-mail, no data, no calls in or out. Anyone else?
