PSA: bestbuy, walmart, and target Cricket phones are "cheaper" phones than offered in cricket stores.
the 625 is inferior to the 626s in almost everyway.
some thing with all those other phones. you might not pay an activation fee but you get a phone that is shitty then the shitty phone offered by a dealer.

Cricket added new phones to upgrade to but no discounts for current customer, any cheaper options besides Walmart and Target?

But they are different phones... Even in name... Not like a situation like the LG G Stylo on Cricket and Boost have lower specs (and price, to be fair) than the same named as on TMobile/MetroPCS.
Im looking for a phone to use on cricket that’s a good midrange phone, around 200-400. It’s for my sister who already has an existing cricket plan and cricket phone. She had the Motorola stylus 2022 and she doesn’t like her phone at all.
Before I used to buy her Blu phones but their website says they don’t work on cricket. And I bought her a TCL but that one didn’t work on cricket either so I had to return it. I have no idea what to get her. Any suggestions? TIA
