I know this deal on the free iPhone SE for new customers has been posted, but I don't think many people know about the free upgrade for existing customers with older 3G incompatible phones.
Cricket/AT&T networks are turning off 3G service in February 2022, making many phones incompatible. If you are receiving texts from Cricket saying your phone is incompatible, you are eligible for a free iPhone SE (or Moto G Stylus 5G) upgrade. This deal will work for all lines on your account that are receiving the Cricket message about incompatible phones.
When you upgrade a line through the website you will see the iPhone price of $249.99. Click to proceed to checkout, and before placing the order you will see "3G $249.99 Targeted Offer-Mfg/Dist Coupon - $249.99", making the phone free.
I was told by the Cricket store owner that this deal should be good until Jan 6th.

I have a notice in my online account that says this:
It is not specific about any phones and no luck when ordering. I chatted with a sales person who could see an offer for my line with old phone, but he said "they must have discontinued the program starting today, as it is a new month" However the OP makes mention of a store person telling him thru Jan 6th."was told by the Cricket store owner that this deal should be good until Jan 6th." So, anyone with success today?
I will have to ask the OP, did he do this at a store? Can it even be done at a store?
Back in October the Iphone SE was full price $249.99 for existing customers and free for new customers. I picked some crappy refurb phone for $10 as I had 6 months of Kroger Cricket credit on my account and did not want to lose it. I planned on canceling the account and signing back up for the free phone after the credit was used. All this and they could have just given me the free phone in the first place.

I am guessing that my offer may not be the same as you other folks, and their system of identifying the one phone out of five that is heading for Sunset seems to be inaccurate.
Did anyone who succeeded get an offer that specifically stated that you were going to be able to get a free phone, not just "Special upgrade offers and waived upgrade fee?"

I still didn't receive any text with the coupon code to wave off the $109. But it only shows device upgrade fee as $0. Could anyone please assist on what I'm doing wrong here??

Only worked for one of my old phones though.

edit: Works fine when placing the order with my phone, was having this issue on my laptop, in case anyone else has the same problem.
