Yes, the iPhone is indeed a phone and as with any other cell phone it needs a network to call and text. The iPhone is on AT&T, the phone network that works with the iPhone. The iPhone currently does not have any other network/cell provider.

Which networks can you have an iPhone on?

Now, with the new iPhone 4S it is theoretically possible for the iPhone to be used on any mobile phone network worldwide. For GSM usage (I.E. Sim Card) the iPhone must be unlocked, and a MicroSim must be placed in the iPhone to work. For CDMA use, the iPhone must be flashed to a network, and then additional steps will most likely have to be taken in order for the iPhone to work. If you go to a professional phone store, that flashes, and unlocks phones, then they can do this for you. Also, if you plan to use CDMA, you must get a CDMA iPhone 4S, like one from Sprint or Verizon, then it may be flashed to another CDMA compatible network, or unlocked for GSM use.

A Cricket Wireless PR representative told me personally that the iPhone 7 will work on the Cricket network, and they will be offering it to customers once it is available. Or, if you have your own unlocked iPhone 7, it should work on the Cricket network.
