Similar to expired deal here: https://slickdeals.net/f/19278159-iphone-16e-cricket-with-port-in-and-2-month-service-for-120, although that one was $120 for 2 months of service.

People gonna be jumping through all these hoops to make $100. C'mon just leave the phones for the actual Cricket people like me that need to buy one for their daughter. Maybe go get a job and make the $100 haha
Weird comment

Interesting I see they've set a 2 line hard cap up front this time. I guess that's better than the last time when people kept getting rejected / that call in your store to complete the order error

Very ironic post coming from a person who has Patrick Bateman as their avatar.

Seems like the best deal at the moment if you need an iPhone. Should be calculated with the cost of overpriced $35 Cricket service for 6mos too, if we want a true comparison with full retail + $15 Mint Mobile or something.

The entire point of this website is for people to save money - it's not up to you to judge people how they want to make use of their time.

For a second phone, do you still need to pay for three months? Last time, you could pay one month of service when you add second phone after activating the first one.

I think that was Metro last time that kept rejecting everyone, not Cricket.
