180? Yep more expensive than metro. 16e isn't worth it at all. Trade in values also 1/2 of full iPhone. Yeah no. Why bother. After fees and everything flip and you get 50 bucks. Too much work very little gain. Service is also meh. Why should I vs visible 15 plan unlimited and unlimited hotspot.
Sorry not. Go with metro deal instead this isn't competitive. Carriers are screwed up. Apple phones also no you ain't worth that much. It's an e as well.
Even the family plan sucks. Might be worth it if you have 3m of gift cards laying around discounted by 20-30%. Usually 15%. When you see gc discounted it means the products are over priced
At least discount it the camera you can get from 60 dollar android deal. You paying 100 extra for brand.
Previous deal was also 120 not 180. This is truly a crap deal. Cite AI chip shortage all you want and push crap all you want we know the price just because hf bought this website and pushing bad deals more now doesn't mean shit. Old timers know the game.
Also apple will be dropping the price soon. For trade in with that goes this value. Likely 250 from 310 and BB etc don't even pay this much even now. They give like 200-300 max for trade in better off buying 13 on promo and wait for trade in promo but likely need 14 iPhone instead for 800 off sign up.
But now that you need 2-3 yrs even worse than 2 yrs. It's not even worth it at all. Just use old gen iPhone and androids free after promo if you want. buy unlocked don't even play their game
Not a good deal. Its like paying $180+tx & fees for a LOCKED basic iphone.
Yes but ALL carries has the rule for a FREE phone. They won't give a Iphone for FREE. It
"kind of like Postpaid" where you have a set rule to pay for X months. $180 is better then paying $600.00 People don't have $600.00 to pay for a phone.

Tmobile is bad in my area. AT&T is the best in my area. Plus Metro you need to be after 1 year to unlock. Cricket has 2 version to pick from 128GB OR 512GB. Metro PSC does not. I don't mind being tied for 6 months becuase I don't need to go anywhere at all.
3 months of their paid service at $60 a month. Plan cannot be downgraded until after the 3rd month and then 3 more months at a cheaper plan for the phone to unlock after 6 months.
Its not free technically. $180 for 3 months mandatory. Title is kimd of misleading
NOTHING is for Free. Yes but that is what's Cricket website says. I can't change my title becuase it is not letting me change it. Next time when I see a deal from Cricket Wireless I will know what to write. Thank you

Hey nothing personal. By that logic (on whats advertized on website) all deals from telecom operators are mostly free phones.
Generally on SD the deal price is the out of pocket amount that one has to pay.
