Has Cricket made any recent change? When I try to ordere LG Stylo6, it is automatically adding 2nd month service charge at $60. So, even if I am ordering 1 line, it is showing $120 as due today. Am I missing something?
yes, it looks 2 months services needed to be able to free LG stylos 6 phone ..
the OP's title already updated to "2-mo $60" from "1 month $60"

They still have the "free with one month's service" sales, such as the Moto G Power.

But they've also added "free with TWO months' service" sales, like this LG.

Is this a recent change? Then OP needs to be updated to reflect the new price to get the free phone.

Also, is that the case (2 months prepaid at $60 per month) for any free phone - including Motorola?

Sorry, I didn't understand your original question.
You can simply port your number from Google Fi to Cricket. Pretty simply to do.

It was my understanding that Google fi didn't qualify for porting over which I think I confirmed because online the phone goes from 0 to 150 once I enter my phone number and go to cart. I'll try a store and report back.

I also noticed that they are restricint to 2 free LG Stylo 6 per order. I tried ordering 5 lines but for the remaining 3 lines they are charging for phone.

Planning to with Moto G Power or Samsung A11. Any suggestions for unlocking or reselling??

Really ? maybe it is new changes since required 2- months service. I ordered 5 LG Stylo phones in one order few weeks ago.
I don't think any resale value for cricket phone, lot of cricket phones are selling on eBay

They must've changed the terms. I ordered five LG Stylo 6's on 3/6/21 and paid $160 just for the lines. Also got 5 x $5 cb from Rten.

As far as selling, I sold them on Ebay as brand-new, locked to Cricket. Sold all five of them for $120 each in just a few hours.

Has anyone downgraded the service, so the $120 lasts longer than 2 months? I have 3 lines on the $55 plan, so it would only be an additional $10.month, if I downgraded to the same $55 plan. In the past the amount you paid ended up as a credit on your account that was applied to total bill, in some cases even if you never activated the line.

Also does anyone know if you can transfer in a landline to Cricket, and still qualify for this deal? I have a friend that is thinking about cancelling his home phone, I told him he could use Google Voice with no montly service. I do not know if it would be important to keep his number, or even any home phone, but thought he should have the option. Even if the number transfer did not qualify for a phone, it would only be the cost of the SIM, $7 on Amazon, plus the $10, but the free phone would be a bonus. I know you can transfer in a cell number, into google Voice, for $20, but not a landline. I offered to transfer it into my Cricket account first, since it would only be that $10 charge, for the 1st month, while he completed the Google Voice transfer.

On 2/20, I ordered one LG Stylo 6 and paid $60. Right after activating the SIM, I logged in and used the Change Plan option to change to the $30 plan, and have $30 credit for the 2nd month. On 3/6, I ordered five Stylo 6s and paid $160. After activation, I tried to Change Plan but it said that option was not available for multiple lines.

To bad they closed the loophole. I ordered a Moto Supra back when, tossed the SIM, and never activated it. I used a SIM from a previous Cricket phone in the Supra. The $60 just went toward my normal bill, so the phone really was free.

If he wants to keep his number, I will skip the "free" phone, buy a SIM, and transfer his number in, adding a line to my existing plan.

Thanks for the update.

Too bad it is the 2021 MotoG. 2020 was better. I finally gave up that they would ever offer it and bought it at Best Buy a couple months back.

Decent deal!
I just got shipping confirmation on 5 Moto G Power phones for $160.
For port in numbers I used the Tello 50% off deal and received 5 sim cards with new numbers for under $20.

All in under $180.

Last year I did a similar deal with the Moto G Supra's. I unlocked one of them and gave the rest to nieces and nephews to play Pokemon Go and use as mini wifi tablets.

Perfect gifts as the battery life is great on these phones!
