So I guess after tax, it's around $200... For phone, 3 months, etc. If there's a $60(?) credit remaining for the 3rd month, maybe you can join a cricket group for $25/mo to get more time out of it... The terms seem to say the first two months must be on the $60 unlimited plan, so this seems like the way to go - if you want the phone to be unlocked.

I guess though if someone wanted to save money, they could have bought one of those total wireless iphone SEs for cheap the other day, and used RSIM to "unlock"... But it's kind of janky, and I think one or two of my RSIMs were defective, and that's why I had issues doing it initially

Since Cricket changed their promotion term to 3 months of service payment up front + not downgradeable to cheaper plan for those 3 months, I don't think their deals are worth it. If you need to get the phone unlocked, you will need to pay another $65 (3 additional months of $30 minus $25 credit from referral). So, that will bring the total up to $245.

tbh, depending on what you are planning to do with the phone, the Tracfone deal on iPhone SE may be a better deal for you. ~$147 for the phone + 1 mo of service and no port in requirement. Only bad thing is that the Phone is locked to Tracfone for 12 months.

For those who bought these device + 3 months of $60 cricket service deals (SE2, XR, etc.) have any of you had any success with downgrading on the day of activation?

I've seen conflicting info in the (many) other threads for this deal, so apologies if this has been answered definitively and I missed it.

Can I downgrade the $60 plan after the first 30 days, then use the remaining $120 credit towards the $35 (or other) plan?

Or are you absolutely locked into the first 3 months at the $60 per month plan, then eligible to downgrade plans after those 90 days are up?
