Metro has a much better deal at $99.99 (new line) and $49.99 (port in) + one/first month fee of $40. Unlock automatically in 6 months.

I will never buy another carrier-branded phone again, and I will never buy another Motorola phone. Cricket forced the update to Android 12, even though I disabled automatic updates, always denied when it asked, and even disabled some of the system apps that were supposed to be in charge of updates, required using adb tools and USB debugging with a PC. Massive hassle, and they still shoved the update through anyway, and as expected, it broke many system functions and made the phone unstable and basically useless.
My recommendation: never buy a carrier phone (at least not from Cricket), and don't buy Motorola. I've had nothing but trouble from the last 3 Motorola phones I've owned, this most recent one being the worst because it was Cricket branded. It sucks because Motorola used to make excellent budget phones 5+ years ago, but that's where we're at.
I have a brand new (NON-carrier) Samsung Galaxy A14 5G on my desk right now that I'll be switching over to. Fingers crossed Samsung hasn't gone down the drain too.

carrier branded phones are CHEAP. How much you paid for a non-carrier A14 5G vs a metro branded? Metro branded is $40 including 1 month service.

I fully expect the A53 to go down across the board very soon.

The A53 was released in February/March 2022. It should also have updates all the way to Android 16.
I fully expect it to drop in price in the next few weeks.
