Are you serious? I currently use Cricket wireless phone service on my Poco X3 Pro phone as my daily driver and was thinking a/b taking advantage of this deal by using my sim card in a different phone (Poco) while waiting till the iPhone 12 would unlock. That doesn't make sense that Cricket would require you to have to keep the sim card in the iPhone 12 throughout the whole 6-month period.

After looking into this deal, I just realized it's a raw deal for existing customers. The fact that new users are subject to selecting a $60 plan and pay that over 2 months to be eligible for this deal is an insult and I would rather find a better iPhone 12 deal elsewhere.
Yeah, sorry man. Cricket sucks that way.

The only thing you have wrong is that you can downgrade the $60/mo plan immediately to the $30/mo plan then get another $5/mo discount when you sign up for autopay, so you only have to pay $5 for month 5 and then $25 for month 6 on top of what you pay at the point of sale. Obviously, this deal doesn't make sense unless you really want to daily drive this phone for 6 months just to get the unlock.

Yes, with cricket is absolutely necessary to be active. The way I do is I have another cricket line at home, I just swap the sim into new phone
Not only that, but it must be active on the phone that you want unlocked. Someone correct me if I'm wrong, but I don't think I am. If you move your sim/esim to a new phone, you will stop accruing time toward your 6 months for unlocking. I wouldn't recommend buying a Cricket phone for unlocking unless you were sure you wanted to daily drive that phone for 6 months.
