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.

Is it one of these upgrades per account (we have 5 lines)? Tried checking a couple older phones and the upgrade option is grayed out.
I had showed the store employee the process (quietly) on how I can get the deal by walking him through their website. You don't even have to change your 4 lines for $100 plan. He tried to put our plans to the $60 per line but I stopped him on that. Just pay tax, your good to go.

FWIW, I don't think you need to 'activate' the phone to use it with an old sim card. The phone worked with the old sim card before activation. I only activated it because I'm going to try to order another on a different eligible line.

I moved on to a new service. I would have stayed if the Cricket whitelist matched the AT&T whitelist which doesn't make any sense.

So will my samsung note 8 still work after the 3G phase out? So confused. I don't want to buy a phone yet.
There's zero sane reason for Note 8 not being compatible.

I too have a 1st Gen iphone SE on 1 of the 5 accounts , but I upgraded the old android first and now am no longer eligible for the free upgrade on the 1st Gen iphone.

I think any further upgrade options are grayed out until I receive and active the new SE.
