Cricket wireless?


Whatever they offer is between them and you. Apple has no sway over what wireless providers offer.


If they do not offer one then you could look into buying an unlocked iphone from a legitimate retailer and using that on cricket’s network.


One thing to bear in mind, usually the cheaper a wireless program is the less ‘upgrades’ they offer.....because on larger carriers you are really paying for the ‘free’ upgrades they offer with higher usage fees.


(The $40 a month for a generic carrier vs the $100 a month for brand name carriers...well that extra $60 a month is what’s paying for you to get cheaper phones....they’re not really cheaper, you just pay for them differently)
