As far as the price goes, the ZTE Source is being retailed at the MSRP of $219.99 off-contract. Prospective customers can also pair the device with Cricket's $45 unlimited plans that offer 2.5 GB of full-data speed, and access to Muve Music. Alternatively, customers can sign up for a $55 a month plan which offers 5 GB of full-speed data, or if you're willing to add an extra $10 for a total of $65, you can enjoy 10 GB of full-speed data. Regardless of which plan you'd choose, you'll benefit from unlimited talk and text.
