Whoa, how'd you get that deal?

One phone at $29.99 x 4 = $119.96

One month plan at $60 x 4 = $240.00

$119.96 + $240.00 = $359.96, and that's without any activation fees and taxes.

So you only paid about $8 in taxes?
for 4 lines monthly plan $130, 3 lines 110, 2 lines 90 and 1 line 60

"New line/port pricing is available to customer once every 365 days."

So are we allowed to port more than once? Must it be done in 1 trip or can it be done the next day?

Your purchase at Cricket qualifies for $52 back* with Capital One Offers. Your statement credit is on the way and should arrive within 3 billing cycles of purchase or completed travel reservation date.

Those offers for me are always "online". How did you manage to redeem in store?

Unfortunately my area all the stores are shady, They keep trying to tell me it's around $194 for just one in central Florida. Meanwhile they start grabbing a case and screen protector, I stated I don't want either and they claim it's "included" which it's not. Guess I'll pass on this deal

Nice! I didn't know they allowed us to do it like that. I thought we had to get the $60 plan individually.

Same. Waste of time for me at a nearby metro Atlanta Cricket AR store. If anyone here find a decent one on the north side of town please PM me.

I asked about the deal in a local Cricket store. The guy knew what I talked about. Indeed there was a $29 promotion flyer on his desk. First he told me the total expense was about $160 ($115 plus tax on $600 full price of the phone). I gave him my mint mobile number's port-out info. After he played a while on his computer he told me their system didn't show the $29 promotional price, instead it was $80. But he would waive the $25 activation fee. I know my number is eligible for promotion cuz I tested it online. I didn't like this trick and just walked away.

Called like 6 different stores around my area, no one picked up. Finally 1 store picked up and they told me it would end up being $450 and there's no "$30 promotion in store". I told her I already have a line with Cricket on the $60 plan so theoretically I shouldn't even have to pay the $60 (should be like $30 for second line) since I would be adding a line on my account and porting a number. Rep told me "idk but it's going to be $450 in store". Not worth the time and hassle.

Calling stores is really the worst, they just make up fairy tales pricing. Even the store I went to started adding case, screen protector, insurance, activation fee…I just patiently waited for final pricing incl. tax and told him ok, let me do some math on my own with online price, promo code etc. then I showed him the online price after tax and mentioned it doesn't matter where I buy but I am happy to buy local if it helps him with store commission…and I walked out with 2 phones $274 after tax.

i never had cricket wireless so i don't know how they work. i tried to do this deal in store today and was told that i will have to pay tax on the full price of the phone ($600)
the break down for me was:
$60 plan + $30 phone + about $60 tax of phone from full price + $25 activation = about $175 per phone.
this is NYC. Is this correct?
I've only done Metro before and the tax was on the discounted price or none if it's a free promotion.
Thanks for your help

Whether you pay taxes on the discounted price or the full price depends first on what state you are in, and second whether the discount comes from the store or from the product manufacturer.
  • Store discount = only the discounted price is taxed
  • Manufacturer discount = the regular price is taxed
In a few lucky states, only the discounted price is taxed regardless of the type of discount.

Purchased the cheapest eSim from US Mobile (About $5.41 custom plan). First phone was $128.95 and second $105.42. They added the $12 protection plan on both phones but it's ok for me. $620 gift card secured
how did you get us mobile port out with less than 2 months?
