This is a misleading post for $249 price point
You don't get to unlock the XR after 3 months. It will be a full year of service to unlock it

$299 iPhone 12 mini trade-in for AT&T iPhone 13 Pro is a better deal.

$1000 - $300

Quote from ELVATO :
Based on the offer details, it makes it seem like you could go to the group once you complete one month of $60 service. The other $120 seem like they are just credited to you account and might be useable as credit?


$49.99 iPhone XR Offer
Ends 12/2/21. Requires new line & new account. Excludes upgrades & AT&T ports. Pay first three months of $60/mo. plan service ($180 total) at point of sale, plus device taxes. $60 will be applied to first month service charge. Remaining $120 will be credited to your account and applied to second and third month service unless used on other eligible service or features. Account will remain subscribed to $60/mo. plan for three months. Credit will be lost if service is canceled. Credit is not redeemable for cash, has no cash value & is not transferable or refundable. Add'l one-time fees may apply.
This is how I read it as well. You're locked in the first month at $60, and the rest becomes credit in the account which you can manually downgrade from.

Not a big deal at all. I buy cheap phones on sale so I can plan ahead.

I have S9 from cricket I bought for $199 when it was going for $500 or more. Used it on Cricket and unlocked it after 6 months.

Now S9 is getting dated, bought iPhone XR on Total Wireless and have been using it as a back up phone for 4 months. It will be unlocked in 8 months and I can swap S9 to that phone.

Now buying iPhone 12 mini to use locked for 12 months and then have another cheap back up phone to use as needed.

By planning ahead, I either get the lowest price, or get 1 year free service (compared to buying at regular price from Apple).

No need to be trapped. It's a bonus to have multiple phones. There have been times when I get home and my regular phone is down to 10% battery. I throw it on the charger and head out with the back up iPhone XR with 100% battery. No need to carry portable battery banks, cables / wires. Freedom to have 2 phones to swap back and forth easily is huge.

I use Google Voice so I don't miss any texts / calls either.

I feel sorry for people who are so narrow thinking and only have 1 phone to use and constantly having to charge it or carry a battery bank around.
Now, when you say it like that. It's freaking genius.

Yes, AT&T is far better than Cricket now... Cricket has degraded to a lesser service than when I used it.
My point is if you are going to accuse someone of making an inferior choice, make sure your own facts are straight LOL. You severely damage your credibility with incorrect basic information like saying Cricket is a subsidiary of Verizon, smh. It conveys that you really don't know what you're talking about (which imho is true based on your posts thus far).
When did i accuse? i said something is better imo with a current deal. you think i care enough to do research on a week wide deal? Someone corrected me, and it's done.

Can we cancel immediately afterwards and simply keep the phone and two months of service? Plan to use it on the Cricket plan already in place afterwards by swapping sim cards.

The XR is a rock solid phone with a excellent camera too. With the total cost out the door, the Pixel 3 XL becomes the better deal since completely unlocked for all carriers for less money.

This is apple to oranges comparison LMAO

Don't expect ppl locked into the Apple ecosystem to want to jump to Android...

Too bad the downgrade/merge/cancel`doesn't work with these cricket promos anymore with the new terms. Was able to do this twice in recent months and keep the credit on an existing account, but apparently they cracked down on it recently. Would be great to get this for $80 and use the credit for my existing line.
Where do you see those restrictions?

No 13% discount on cricket wireless gift card from Kroger and he will use for payments to meet the 6 months unlock policy I assume
