Cricket Wireless: if you go for a phone upgrade, do you have to pay the full retail price of the phone, or do you just pay the upgrade fee and no retail price? - Quora
Answer (1 of 3): For each phone they offer, there is a retail price, and an upgrade price which you can get if you haven’t upgraded within 90 days. An upgrade fee is something different, that’s a $25 fee usually for purchasing in store, not the price of a phone.

Apple Payment Plan with Cricket
Yup!! Apply for the Apple Credit Card and finance through the apple store app for their “no-interest monthly installments plan”. You can order whatever phone model you want, and it will be carrier unlocked directly from apple. Just pop in your old SIM card. Edit: you MUST use apply and use their apple card to do payment plans though. (Gets you a compatible unlocked phone for cricket) More on reddit.com

On the iPhone 11 deal at cricket, am I locked to the 60/month plan for 6 months, or is it only for two months, and I can switch to a different cricket plan afterward? What about the iPhone 12 deal? (New customer who needs a number)

• it's only for 2 months, you can switch to a cheaper plan at month 3

• this process works with any of the deals. If the deal is "get $PHONE for $PRICE when you also buy $MONTHS of service" then you can switch to whatever plan you want after you complete those $MONTHS of service.

You can do that switch via your online account and or online chat when it's getting close to your monthly renewal date

Financing iPhone 16 Pro on Cricket
You can choose T-Mobile as the carrier. Since you are buying a Pro model of iPhone, you will not be required to connect the iPhone to T-Mobile at checkout. Once it arrives, however, during setup, iPhone will ask you to enter your T-Mobile number to connect it to T-Mobile and you will not see any option to bypass this. Just enter a random phone number (or your own, doesn't matter) and click "Continue". The process will fail after the third attempt and you will see a new option to skip Carrier Connection and proceed with setup. Everything should be smooth sailing and the phone will continue to be finance on your Apple Card. Alternatively, you could pay for the phone in full, charge the full amount to your Apple Card, and then text Apple Card Support and ask them to connect it to a Monthly Instalment Plan. Doing that would let you skip the T-Mobile part of iPhone setup but I'd personally not feel comfortable having to hope GS converts the charge to an instalment plan, although people have done it without issue.

January 6, 2024 - I'm a Cricket user. In the past, I've just always bought the unlocked version through Apple directly and used their financing option. Looks like that no longer the case, as you have to use ATT/Verizon/TMobile now. Question is - if I buy the ATT version so I can still do the monthly payment option, will that phone work on Cricket since Cricket uses ATT service?

Cricket's new phone payment plans are here for the holidays - PhoneArena
1 month ago - It’s an attempt to give prepaid customers that "postpaid" experience of getting a shiny new flagship phone for a low (or $0) down payment, which helps Cricket keep customers from jumping to a competitor. ... Honestly, this is a bit of a mixed bag. The "no hard credit check" to see your options is genuinely great. That part is smart and very customer-friendly. But you have to be really careful about which plan you get.
