What information do I need to supply to unlock my Cricket iPhone 11 Pro Max?
Do I need to send you my Cricket iPhone 11 Pro Max for it to be unlocked?
How can I find out what network/carrier my Cricket iPhone 11 Pro Max is locked to?
I’m curious if anyone has had a similar issue, or if there’s a work around.
Longtime customer (6+ years, biggest plan) and I wanted to switch from an iPhone XS Max that has battery and earpiece issues to an iPhone 11. The new customer porting over price is $299. I’ve only upgraded through Cricket once in 6+ years (way past the 180 day waiting period) and had usually just bought a new or used unlocked phone.
I signed in, picked out my phone, and it’s $599.99 + $25 upgrade fee. An unlocked iPhone 11 in a variety of colors from Apple is $599 without the trade in on the XS Max or the 8 plus I have. Chatted with customer support and they told me that existing customers are not eligible for that price. Meanwhile, on my Verizon account, I can add a second line ($19 more per month for unlimited than Cricket) and get my choice of an iPhone 11 for free or $500. Or I can save $25 over Cricket and get an unlocked one from Apple.
What gives? Is Cricket done for? I’ve been content with their service, even though it has had some issues once in a while. It was nice to have one phone Verizon and one Cricket because on the few occasions one didn’t have service or was slow the other one was fine. I just paid my bill yesterday, but I’m about to switch carriers over this nonsense.
I was wondering when the iPhone 16 pro max would be available in stores/online via cricket. I know they are available on the 20th through Apple, but wondering if it’s the same with cricket or other carriers? I would pre order it through Apple but I want to finance it, and u have to chose between AT&T, Verizon, Boost, or T-Mobile but I use cricket so idk. Thanks for the help.
