Just finished updating it. I accidentally submitted midway during adding details. But, I have corrected it!

So if I'm reading all this correctly, roughly $235 and a port number to achieve an unlocked 64GB SE2 INCLUDING 6 months service if picked up at store?

If I knew someone who just needed service for half a year this would be a decent deal (outside of the hoop hassles).

Not critical of this deal AT ALL. But the SE 3rd gen thru Visible does come out a better deal, only if the $200 gift card at Amazon or other retailers is worth it to you. It unlocks after the end of the second month when you submit payment for the third month. See the long thread about that.

This plus the second gen battery is absolutely awful. The 3rd isn't much better but it is a little better

I agree. 2nd Gen SE battery life is horrible.

Can anyone confirm it can be downgraded to $30 plan before second bill? I see this in the term "Account will remain subscribed to $60/mo. plan for three months."

Can't be downgraded. People were using that method to get 6 month of service, so Cricket dropped the hammer unfortunately.

If you want it unlocked, you need at least another 3 month for $90. Unless you are staying on Cricket, it's not a great deal for most.

Talked to a store rep and they said that they can downgrade you manually, but it will be a short while before I can verify if that information is accurate. Just going off what I was told by Cricket Wireless.

Might be worth it for $180 including six mo. service total, then unlocked
