This prepaid carrier has launched a new Device Trade-In Program that allows customers to trade in their old devices for account credit directly applied to wireless service. This eliminates the need for gift cards, activation fees, or expiration dates, making it a simple and convenient way to save on your phone bill with Cricket.
- To start the trade-in process, visit a local Cricket store or use the online Asurion trade-in portal.
- Asurion will inspect your device details to provide an estimated trade-in value.
- If you accept the offer, you will receive a prepaid shipping label to send off your device.
- Once approved, your Cricket account will be credited within 1–2 billing cycles.
While other carriers like Verizon, T-Mobile, and AT&T offer trade-in programs, they often come with requirements to finance a new phone or commit to a lengthy plan. Unlike its competitors, Cricket offers direct credit to service without any strings attached. This value-first approach is a welcome addition to the carrier's offerings, especially as wireless pricing continues to rise.
Even if Cricket's phone lineup may not always feature the latest flagship devices, customers can still bring in their own unlocked devices to take advantage of this trade-in program. This practical and cost-effective option aligns with the carrier's commitment to providing accessible wireless service options.
