The phone itself is $100 cheaper, but it now requires first three months service charge at $60/month (one more month than before). Overall, it is $40 cheaper than the previous deal from last month.

Edits:
require 6 months of service to unlock
require porting from a non-AT&T number

Your service ends and you lose the remaining credit.

It asks for a SSN when checking out. If I'm using a port in number I bought from ebay, what SSN should I put? Anyone run into this?

IME any number would work.

In the past few years I've used "0000," "1234," the number in my street address, and one or two other random numbers.

Which carriers are eligible for the port-in deal? Anything that's not ATT?

If I'm on AT&T now, can I port out to T-Mo & then immediately port into Cricket? What's the best way to handle this?

Out the door meaning without the 3 month agreement or just after taxes and fees day 1?

So it looks like if we purchase the phone in a store, we have to pay $25 activation+any other "accessories" fees they try and tack on, but we avoid prepaying $180 for 3 months. So we can switch to the $30/month plan for months 2 and later? This would only say about $30 due to the activation fee I guess. I plan on having service with Cricket for at least 6 months.

Tried porting a numberbarn #, but not accepted. Then tried activating a $1 Ting SIM from Target, but Ting is telling me the SIM is old. Any good solutions for quickly and cheaply getting a # to port in for this promo?

You are correct. You can avoid the $180 3-month payment requirement by going to a Cricket store. In that case the charges would be:
Device, $100
1st month service, $60
Activation fee, $25
BS charges (authorized dealer), $xx
Tax on device, $xx (Corporate store, tax is on discounted price, $100; Authorized dealer, tax is on full price, $500)

And yes, you can downgrade to the $30 plan once you leave the store to extend the initial's month payment to 2 months. Also, you can use a referral code to get a $25 credit to be applied to the third month's payment
