You need to stay will Cricket for 6 months to unlock the phone. However, the $180 that you paid for the 3 months of unlimited services can be downgraded to $30 monthly plan to stretch it to 6 months, which will make you eligible to request for a unlock.

180 days of active service. It's actually more like 175, as I unlocked from a previous deal at that point to avoid paying for another month.

Also, if you move the SIM to another phone it will 'break' the required service time. Some people say you can 'resume' the clock by moving it back, but others say it starts over at 0 again. I didn't want to risk it, so I left it in the iPhone and paid for 6 months total (basically this deal gives you six months prepaid service you switch to the $30 plan with only 2gb of data). Earlier deals would only make you pay $60 or $120, and you could use referrals to help lower future cost some.

From my understanding, it has something to do with the 1 month limit for each deal posted. After a month, the deal will be marked as expired even if it is still ongoing. I think that's basically why the deal was reposted 3 times.

Clicking the See Deal doesn't open the site?? It just 'flashes' opening a new tab - in Chrome - and then reverts back to this page?
Thanks

How do referrals work? Is it a $25 discount off the $180 or would it be like a credit on my account? New to cricket

Quote from bargaindeal :
Two questions I have...

1. Can I merge the new line with my 5 for$100 grandfathered plan and downgrade to$30 and cancel the new line after the merge without the 5/100 plan bring affected?

2. Can I put in the current(old) sim into the new phone and count towards the 6 months for unlock? I want to clarify if the phone needs to be on the service or does the sim needs to be on service?

Does anyone know?
TIA
I want to do similar, I wonder if I can also self refer myself haha.

Can I get this and use the sim in my Android for six months, and then get the iPhone unlocked and give it to my mother?
No. If you don't use that phone, you won't get 180 days credit for an unlock of that phone.
Quote from intromission :
Has anyone been able to get the aformentioned $25 pop up code to work? Have tried multiple browsers.
Link in the wiki was posted when this thread was new, a few weeks ago. Probably dead now. If you're looking for referral credit, check Ebay listings. They often post them with the link right in the description so they can get credit as the referrer without you having to buy anything through ebay.

anyways you know anyone that already has a cricket line can create legit referral codes without the generator. But I'm wonder if I can refer myself or do I need to use someone else code to add a line to my own account.

See wiki. For this deal, you need to create a new account to purchase the phone. You can self refer and both your existing and new accounts will each get $25.

The phone must be active with the sim at all times to get it unlocked. If you don't intend to use the phone don't buy.

Can I keep the SIM in the phone but have it turned off after activation. Would like to preserve the battery charge cycles on it.

To clarify- If I just want a new, backup iphone for wifi only would this be a good way to acquire?
Yes. You may even be able to sell the account and recoup some of the $180.
