Update 12-16-2018: PORT-IN Not Required, you can either port-in OR just add or apply for a new line. I just did few minutes back.
Locked to Cricket and will NOT work even on ATT unless unlocked.
Cricket will give you the unlock code after 6 months of service.
Once unlocked, the Samsung S9 will work on all 3 major US networks including Verizon, TMobile and, AT&T, It will also work on US Cellular. MVNOs of those carriers are also supported.
This phone has the bands needed to support Sprint, but Sprint requires whitelisting of the IMEI. Some of these phones will show up with whitelisted IMEIs, some won't. Getting Sprint to whitelist the phone is challenging, an employee has to file a fix-it-ticket and wait.
NOTE: port-in only applies to non AT&T mobile carriers, like T-mobile, Sprint, Verizon, and their MVNOs, no AT&T MVNOs like H2O, etc.

A few notes:
- As a cricket customer, I was able to get the dummy T-Mobile port-in number to work for the discount. ($10 or so on eBay)
- I never activated the ported number and just inserted my sim when I got the phone
- A month later (I think) the port was auto cancelled, and the cost to add the new line paid when ordering was credited to my cricket account ($20, since I was adding a 4th line with the current group pricing)
- Inserting a different carrier's sim would bring up the dialog to unlock. Don't do this for 6 months!
- If you plan to unlock it, use the phone for a full 6 months and don't switch to a different phone during that time (see the next bullet as to why). Then use the MyCricket app to get the unlock code more conveniently than having to chat their support.
- I originally chatted with Cricket support to see if the 6 months has to be continuous. They said No, just in-total: For example, if I spent 3 days on another phone, my 6 month timer would just pause for 3 days and resume once I returned to the S8.
- Evidently, their system does not work like they said: With 15 days left until unlock, I tested my wife's Pixel for a single day before selling it, and that messed up the cricket timing system, and said "15 more days for the next 30 days". After taking with 3 people, including a higher level support ticket, they finally unlocked it 6.5 months into owning it. Really, once I got to an official support ticket, it was only a few hours and the texted me the unlock code. Huge PITA getting the elevated support ticket though.
- I then sold it to a coworker after 7 total months. When he inserted his AT&T sim into my factory-reset Cricket S8, it rebooted to the AT&T firmware and launch animation, as expected. No other issues.

Does anybody know, how many months do we need to stick in to use this in a different account ?
My family already has cricket account. If I want to buy phone with new account (with new number) and use to my existing account, how long do I need to retain the new account to use the phone without a termination fee?

It's a prepaid service.
There are no termination fees

I'm still happy with my S6. They can be bought for $150 on ebay and they don't have that funky "rounded edge screen". I hate that Samsung makes all phones now in the "edge" version. Cases don't fit right. Just aesthetically ugly. :/
S6 to S8 was a great upgrade IMO. Better bigger screen and no physical button. I am having more trouble rationalizing S8 to S9
I agree with the new design with increased scree and digital home button.... but why did they have to ruin it with that stupid rounded edge? :/
I don't know. I thought all Cricket variants were carrier locked to Cricket but I could be wrong. It was the case for my S6 a few years back. It was also a separate model number back then so got different firmware updates and it took longer.
