Google Pixel 10a International version on Cricket

I'm considering getting a Pixel 10a, but before I do, does anyone in the US have the international version working on Cricket? I find a lot of AI generated info from it might work but not reliable, to being blocked by AT&T's whitelist. But I can't find any info from real users, and knowing how often AI is wrong...

It would save me over $100 on the phone if international versions work on Cricket.

Thanks for any info.

AT&T Locked Phone

We all know things are getting higher these days, and I have a iphone 17 pro max locked to AT&T that is not currently paid off and I’m thinking of switching it to Cricket. Will it work even tho its locked?? I’ve seen some mixed reviews but more positive that good bc from what I understand both these companies have the same towers. Let me know.

Help with my device

I got this moto 5g 2025, and the device is unlocked, i called cricket and they said it is unlocked even the screen is saying that, but im stuck on this screen no matter what. It didnt do that when i first ported out, it was working fine until an hour later when the cricket device unlock app popped up and i cant access anything. Is there anything i can do?

My Phone is Acting really slow even though I have full bars

I'm not sure why but for the past few days my phone has been performing really slow. It's so bad that I can even play any mobile games because I'll immediately run into a connection error, and it'll takes minutes or sometimes longer to send text messages. Im on a family plan and I even called my relative to ask if they were having the same issues but apparently it's only me. Is there something I can do to fix this or is this entirely on Cricket/AT&T? Because I've restarted my Phone tens of times, turned on and turned off Airplane mode, and even reset my Network Settings all to no avail. If it helps, I'm on a Unlimited Data plan and it's never acted this slow before.

Daily Security Updates?

This is the third day in a row that my phone (Samsung) has updated itself. It takes over 20 minutes.

This is getting old!

Why is it updating every day? And why is it taking so long?

How to Unlock Phone?

Hello, I recently got kicked off my family's phone plan without my knowledge. I've been trying to switch to Visible since then but can't because Cricket won't unlock my phone. I've went to the store and they said to call 611 but I haven't been able to reach them because I have no cell service. I've tried the online chat box on their website but in order for it to send me a code they need my phone number which, again, isn't active. I was wondering if there's another way i can unlock my phone.

EDIT: I resolved the issue. I was able to download a free text/call app (ex. TextMe), I signed up for the premium version free trial (which I cancelled afterwards) and called Cricket customer service. It took 30 minutes (I ended up spamming 0 towards the end which worked) to get ahold of an actual person who was able to unlock my phone. I was able to guess my parents' pin and security question so it went smoothly. Hope this helps anyone with a similar problem in the future.

What do i do?

Today, I went into a cricket store to port in my Straight/Verizon number to get the new Motorola Edge 2025 for 20 dollars deal. The worker took down my transfer pin and account number to "see what the total would be", and everything worked, but the total came out to way more than i was expecting, so i ran home to grab more cash. When i came back, we redid it, and this time it wouldnt work, and there was an issue with porting. It was around this time that i noticed i had a text from when i was there the first time that said my straighttalk number had been successfully ported. The cricket worker told me to call straighttalk to get a new transfer pin, which i did, but the straighttalk support worker told me that my number was no longer in their system, and i would have to talk to cricket about it, we called verizon (ST parent company) and they said the same thing. So then, the cricket worker told me, that cricket ported it over the first time somehow, even though she cancelled it while i ran home, so at that point she tells me theres nothing i can do unless i set it up with a brand new cricket number, which was about 100 dollars more, AND i lose my number obviously. So then, i call cricket customer support, and they ALSO say my number is not in their system. My straighttalk service expires tomorrow, and i cant renew it since its not in their system, and cricket clearly wont help me. What do i do?

16e multiple lines

How do I port more than one line to reduce the 60/m for the first three months?

I ported my own phone from AT&T and plan on doing the same for my siblings. If possible, I would appreciate some help in figuring this out.

A locked cricket wireless device works on Dark Star as long as a cricket sim is turned on even if it's not activated !!!

But Once you turn off the cricket wireless sim the lock screen pops up.

Data works phone calls work messages works. Everything works. Just got to keep an unactivated cricket sim in their. The dark star was a e sim.

Not sure how long this will work. Not sure if cricket will catch on and black list it. But it does work.

If you guys are going to test it I highly suggest to use a new number. I wouldn't use my main number. Again I don't know if Cricket will catch and blacklisted. But this sim has been deactivated for the last year.

This was Motorola g stylus 2025

So I'm genuinely confused. I'm looking to get WiFi and I was looking at either Cricket or AT&T. So I guess AT&T owns Cricket. That's fine. But how does Cricket work? So I pay to have a hotspot on my phone?? And that hotspot is the wifi? My brain is not understanding 😂.

I guess I'm curious cuz I've always just understood Wi-Fi to be something you like connect to that's like attached to the building. And hotspots were like little baby Wi-Fi that had way more limited gigabytes and we're not supposed to be used for something huge.......I don't even know.

If this is the case then do the hot spots that Cricket offers enough to be for TV streaming and video editing?

Potential account/SIM security issue after calling Cricket today

Today I called Cricket to pay my bill and change my plan. The first call was extremely difficult. She sent me a link to pay my bill and I had to keep explaining to her that I can’t open the link as I don’t have service/internet. I wanted to pay over the phone with my card info as I’ve done before many times without an issue. She didn’t seem to understand so I told her I’ll call back another time and hung up. Shortly after that call, I started receiving multiple texts from Cricket in Spanish (idk why because I don’t speak Spanish) saying that my phone number had been changed, funds had been transferred, my voicemail has been reset. I did NOT request or authorize any of these changes nor did these changes actually occur on my account.

I called Cricket back a second time and got a different representative. I was able to successfully pay my bill and change my plan, and my phone number still appears to be working normally.

However, shortly afterward, I received a text alert that someone was attempting to access my Facebook account. This has me extremely concerned that something may have happened during the first call.

Has anyone experienced something like this with Cricket? What should I specifically ask them to check? I want to make sure there wasn’t a SIM/eSIM change, number change, port-out request, or unauthorized access to my account or phone number.
