A Space Gray unlocked SIM-free iPhone SE for me, ditto, Rose Gold for Cathy. Barely chewing through our Rollover Data allotment and now able to use WiFi Calling, we dumped AT&T for Cricket Wireless, which means we're back on the AT&T network. Plentiful coverage where we live and travel regularly.
Saving at least 20 bucks a month on the $30.00 2GB each plan versus a measly single Rollover GB ($60.00 vs $82.00). Only thing we gave up: Mobile Hotspot. We can read emails on the phone and send a more detailed reply later from our computers.
A couple notes for those contemplating the switch: DO NOT click the "Activate online" link in the email you receive until you've installed the SIM from Cricket, especially if you're porting your phone number. Instead of taking you to a webpage where you verify your identity before making such a drastic change, the link sends you to a page that starts the irreversible process. Thus we lost a day and a half of cell phone use. Turns out it happens quite a lot and Cricket has yet to reword the email.
Either because we were grandfathered in as previous AT&T (and Cingular and SBC Wireless) customers or because they haven't updated the information page, Wi-Fi Calling is working on both of our BYOP iPhones, contrary to the info that you must buy the phone from Cricket. My workplace is in a known cellular "armpit" for multiple carriers, so Wi-Fi Calling is definitely a plus. If it works for you, best not to call Customer Support and ask about it. ;) |

I've had Cricket for a couple years now and no issues or complaints. Have done BYOP with a Motorola and now a Sony. Will never go back to a contract again. |

It helps to decide what features you want, need, and then could live without.
Believe it or not flip phones are making a comeback among the younger generation and others. www.foxnews.com/tech/2018/04/20/f... Many are finding they just don't need or want all that texting, internet access and so forth. That and want a little less distraction in their lives. Have an HTC Google G2 that likely needs replacing soon (battery issues). But really don't use the thing for more than talking, and even then that is only say when out and need to reach someone. Walking down street yapping on about nothing to someone who could care less is not my thing. |
