what if i just need phones for existing cricket plans?
About to do this deal, can anyone elaborate on the process to "immediately downgrade to the $30/mo plan"? Is it done through their site, or do I have to call them? Do I change it right after signing up, or do I wait until I've received and activated the phone? Thanks

It's 6 months to unlock, not 3.

But it's an iPhone, so you can always get an RSIM (or similar) and use it with another carrier rightaway.

Yes,you can let the phone sit inside the drawer, wait for 6 month. But if you want to use the service, don't use the sim card in the other phone, otherwise the time won't count to the 6 month for this iphone
ah yeah, i want just the phone unlocked. Looks like best option is to get the phone, keep it activate for 6 months and then unlock it

Doesn't the phone have to be active on Cricket for 6 months? You can't just turn it off and not use the sim also right?

The sim needs to remain in the iphone device for 6 months, after which you request to unlock

Cricket 64GB Apple iPhone SE (2020) [black, white or red] + 3-Months Prepaid Unlimited Service - $180 (tax included).
No port needed for this deal.

If plan is immediately downgraded to $30/mo plan, this will pay for 6 months which is also cricket's requirement for unlock.
Optional - may get $25 referral.

You have to keep the line for 6 months. It is your choice to turn off the phone and don't use it Smilie. If you take the sim out from the iphone and use in the other phone, Cricket will consider the iphone not active in their network, just be careful.

Thanks for clarifying. The part I was unclear on was that I was under the impression that cricket expects to see the phone on the network every day for 6 months. So turning off the phone and keeping doesn't help.

From previous experience, you create the account right after you active you phone, then you enter your account right after that to downgrade, someone said you might not be able to downgrade it after the first day or certain time. but this could have changed in the last several months. Several months ago, they don't limit the free phone purchases, but seem they do now.
