I actually did the $50 iPhone 16e deal over the weekend. I received the phone today and I think I was able to downgrade to the $35 per month plan.


If anyone needs help, let me know. I took some screenshots

I bought this from tracfone last year for $140 with &50 plan included. It eventually unlocked after 60 days. I'm debating whether to now trade it in for $800 credit for pixel 10 T-Mobile deal. It is also giving me $300 credit towards iPhone 17 which is still pricey

I used to get those cheap Tracfone deals for family members since it only required 60 days. 1 year is crazy. Similar to boost mobile and now metro

Please edit your title to include Cricket Wireless, Port in Required
From Full site page (not app, not mobile site)
Edit> (if title is not accessible>Go Advanced)

Also, you should add to the OP body that it requires 6-months paid service to unlock, now that this is known.

I repped you for posting a nice deal!

Similar to this deal. Buy 2 months at $60, port your number, and the 16e is $50I set up my account and switched to the $35 plan. So technically, I should get 3 months (35x3 =105)

Did you switch your plan from the app or did you have to contact Cricket support?

When you select 'I need new number', the price jumps to $49 plus 1 month supreme $55, when I was about to close the window I received a pop up with a $25 discount. Total for me was $79 plus tax, no port in needed.

just did the same. total $84. as $55 plan is on autopay. I deselected autopay as this will be used to trade-in with TMO for iphone 17 ($830 off-Check slickdeal thread). Not planning to keep phone/plan more than a week.
