Cricket is having the iphone se deal again. But this time you have to pay for 2 months of service, so it's not as good as in the past.

Well you are getting a $400 phone for $49 unlocked (after 6 months). If you have a good working unlocked phone, then yes, tello is a better value.

You can pay $30 on your Cricket account. I paid $30 and just got the credit.

If I joint a team (4 for $100 unlimited) after activation, will my credit transfer to team too? Anyone has experiences?
Quote from gwite :
The rules within various Cricket groups can be different. Each group administrator sets the rules for the group.

Funds that are in your account, right now, will transfer.

After you join a group, you give up access to your account info. Only the administrator has access to account info afterwards.

If you are expecting some future bonus credit from Cricket and you are in a group, you will have no direct proof if or when the credit is awarded. You will have to trust the administrator to properly give you the credit.

Unless you have friends/family to create your own group, you can join Cricket groups, discuss terms at the Reddit forums.

This deal is available in stores. From the website, it only looks like one month is required, but keep in mind that stores are likely to add additional fees that aren't charged online (e.g. activation fee, sim card fee), charge you tax on full price of iPhone SE instead of discounted amount, and push you to purchase accessories or add a protection plan on the phone. Purchasing in store will probably cost you around the same if not more if you were to purchase the phone online. I'd recommend you just purchase it online to skip the hassle.

EXACTLY!!! No love for current customers! DAMN! I've got the old SE with them and dropped it the other day, shattered screen. Want to upgrade instead of getting my screen fixed but no deals for existing customers...MF'rs...Mad
About $30 bucks and a youtube video will get you fixed right up! Ask me how I know...It's one of the reasons I left them a good while back.

You can only get in on the deals if you are willing to port to new lines. It really sucks, but the value is in the new customer fees. They know that a lot of people shop deals, so it isn't profitable to cater to current customers.

Now I'm debating if I should switch back to Cricket. If I can avoid going to the store, I might be in for a couple. I really don't like Cricket but I love heavily discounted/free iphones!

Go to the store ask them if they'll force you to buy insurance or accessories.
You should only have to pay 50 for iphone, 25 activation and 60 for service, plus sales tax, nothing else. if they inflate it leave the store and try another one.
You can get a number to port in from ebay check description to make sure it isn't on ATT related carriers.
It's 2 per person per account, if you want an extra for someone or resale, since you'll save on monthly service with 2 lines.
When you get back home create a cricket account make sure auto pay isn't turned on and then just let the number die when the service runs out.=initial

So you end up with an iPhone that's locked to Cricket? I guess if you already have other Cricket lines to use it on, lol??? What am I missing?

Yup use it on other lines, this is for people who already have active service and aren't eligible for the deal on existing accounts. You could also look into RSIM options for soft unlock.=initial

I have 6 t-mobile numbers and waiting to get off their service soon. Should I split them into three separate accounts in order to get 6 iPhones? If yes, how can I combine them back under one of those new opened crickett accounts and how soon after the transactions?

I am not seeing a limit on the website. I know there was a limit previously of 2 phones per mailing address when many were in the business of flipping the phone for a profit. Looks like you are planning to keep their service and get a new phone as well for each of your line.?They do offer $25 unlimited plan for 4 or more lines. If there is limit on number of IPHONE SE, I would order one at a time and call in to combine the 6 accounts into one with the 2 months prepaid for each line so $120x6=$720. That should last you for approx 5 months of service. I have two lines with them that I signed up in December and happy with it. Keeping for at least 6 months until phone gets unlocked.

I have a 5 line cricket account and all lines badly need a phone upgrade. My plan is to get 5 eBay numbers to port and get 2 iPhone SE's and 3 Stylo 6 phones on a brand new account in my wife's name. I then plan on replacing all phones on my account by swapping sims. Is this frowned upon by cricket or can it get me in any kind of hot water? Thanks.
