I keep getting the following notices, which seems fraudulent. I receive almost daily notifications to update my cellular eSIM for Cricket (and I've never used Cricket in my life). And today, I received another notification to update my payment information. I'm the original owner - and I have AT&T. I've seen others in this community with a similar issue but not resolution.
iPhone 14 Pro Max
Well, I followed the suggestion of another poster on this thread and clicked the link to set it up, I don't have any account with Cricket so was fairly sure they couldn't charge me for anything.
I should mention I am in the UK, after clicking it appeared in the Settings - Mobile Service section as an e sim and stayed on 'Activating', at this point I couldn't see anything on the e sim details to delete it.
I waited a short while and after a while it then gave me a system message saying activation failed.
I then clicked on the e sim again and this time an option in red was at the bottom to delete sim.
So I deleted it and so far no more system requests so hopefully that's it now.
Sharing this info in case it helps anyone else.
The same message from Cricket starts happening to me today, I’ve live in the Dominican Republic, original owner of the phone bought it from an Apple store in Spain, and is persistent.
The screenshot literally says Cricket would like to activate an eSIM on this iPhone.
Or an eSIM from Cricket is ready to be set up on this iPhone depending on which screenshot you’re referring to.
Today I get 10 popups almost every hour
I am in the US and started getting these messages in my Settings yesterday. My carrier (AT&T) told me to ignore it. I thought iPhones were hack proof. Any resolution yet?
Suggest your responding to too many posts as you're clearly not looking at them, maybe you're just an AI bot, even though it appears in German it clearly says Cricket 🙄
Have you had any further occurrences?
Also in the UK and also still getting these annoying alerts from Cricket.
Another UK based person fed up of being pestered by this company!
