You can, but this one is connected to our AT&T contract, since it was issued from them as well. (Its not technically from Best Buy, but was rather sold to us via the AT&T booth inside Best Buy. You'd be dealing with AT&T for purchase.) I don't know how you'd go about making it work for Cricket. This specific one does not come in white, but you might be able to get it in white if you get it without the phone option.
