Deal Details
Cricket Wireless has the iPhone 12 for $99.99 if you get 2 months of unlimited service for $120. No port in required. You can unlock the phone after 6 months of active service. For new customers only.

The way to get the 6 months of service:
Before you make the purchase, you need to get a referral code. The referral code gives both you and the person referring you a $25 credit after you activate the phone and remain active for 60 days. During your phone activation, there is an area to submit your referral code.
You'll have to chat with customer service to change the 2 months of unlimited service ($60/month) to their cheapest plan, 5 GB plan ($30/month). This will give you 4 months of service. You should see credit on your account.
Once your phone is active, you will be able to generate your own referral code. For each person you refer, you will get an additional $25 after the referred person activates their phone and remains active for 60 days. You can track the referral process in your account.

In summary, 4 months from what you paid, 2 months from 3 referrals ($25 from you using a code, $50 from two others using your code)

Just FYI, you cannot post your referral code here. It's against ToS. You may message someone for a code, but that process should not be done openly on this thread. Most people advertise their code elsewhere.

Also, there is probably cashback somewhere so I suggest you check in places that I cannot mention here.

Do they still convert the unlimited line to 5GB? I thought that loophole was closed a while back.

Yes, referrals of any variety are not allowed here, please don't message for them either. Thanks.

The Metro deal is better, but I like this deal because I would actually use the 6 months of service.

You have to chat with their customer service. If you do it on their app, it forces you to keep $60/m unlimited for the first month and then lets you convert to $30/m 5 GB. So you lose out on a paid month for unlocking.

So I buy the phone then call customer service BEFORE activation and they will convert it to $30 plan.
