    Question about activation

    I bought a cricket phone at best buy as a gift for someone. my question is how long do they have to activate the phone? I know Tmobile puts expiration dates on their sim cards but I don't know about cricket. Is there a time limit for activation before the sim card is then no good anymore? Thanks!
