No you can't. The Verizon iPhone 5 is unlocked for use on gsm networks. CDMA networks like cricket do not allow you to bring unlocked devices to their network. Can't imagine why you would want to use it on Cricket anyway. Get Straight talk or even Tmobile 2G edge data would be better than using it on Cricket.
