6 months of paid usage. I have gotten some iPhones unlocked about 3-4 days before the 180 days

Up front you pay $300 for this 11 plus $120 for 2 months of service which comes out to $420 plus tax up front.

If you want to unlock it, as soon as you activate it, downgrade from the $60 plan to the $30 monthly plan. So you have 4 months paid already if you do this. If you want to unlock it, pay $30 + $30 (2 months) to total 6 months which qualifies for them to unlock it.

So you pay $420 + $60. $480 plus whatever tax

So let's say $500 for an unlocked iPhone 11 64gb

Brand new unlocked 64gb at apple costs $600 plus tax.

yes you would

Should be $299 + $120 + $60 to unlock = $480 Not that slick unless you want the service. $25 less if you use a referral.

For those interested in unlocking - it seems using a Verizon SIM card (unactivated) on first start up still works on AT&T phones - don't see why it wouldn't work on crickets as well
It won't. This has been tested before. Cricket iPhones are shipped locked

Not worth for a 64 gb phone, they need 6 months service to unlock it

when was the last time that you tested this ?
That loophole was closed a while ago but if you did it recently, let us know

Sorry if this is a dumb question, but it seems that you're paying for 4 months instead of the 6 needed for unlock: 2 months ($60) and 2 months ($30). How does this work?

You missed an important detail:
$480 for new unlocked iPhone 11 64GB PLUS 6 months of service (at least $150 in value)

Get a free referral on eBay (search Cricket Wireless referral) before placing the order and get $25 credit
=> $480 - $25 = $455

Check deals from banks (BOA, Chase). I keep seeing $25/$50 promos from them randomly. If you are lucky, you might save more.

You "must" bring your number to Cricket to get $99 iPhone SE 128GB deal.
I would just buy a number for 8 bucks from ebay like I did last time.

I haven't found anything less than $18. I may be searching with the wrong terms... Using "number port."

I just tried a mock checkout and it states a number barn number is considered a landline and could not be transferred. Just saying do your homework before you buy a number.

By downgrading to $30 plan immediately after activating he gets 4 months out of $120 instead of 2 months of $60 unlimited service.

Correct, up front you technically would pay for 4 months if you downgrade to the $30 plan AS SOON as you activate the account. You would then need to pay $30 and $30 (2 months) to complete the 6 month requirement to be eligible for the unlock.

I use metro so what I did was paid 550$ for my iPhone 11 as an upgrade. I already use the service so it worked out for me no jumping through hoops to unlock. Also paid 600$ for one unlocked from apple, no headaches involved. I've done the whole rsim thing and I actually have a 6s plus currently using one but if I reset the phone I have to start over by ordering another rsim and then hoping to find the correct code to make the sim work can be a headache.
