Cricket is the no-contract subsidiary of AT&T, offering customers a way to get affordable smartphones with cheap prepaid plans while still having in-store support and many other benefits that you’d find with traditional postpaid service. While pricing is already quite low, Cricket occasionally has some pretty sweet deals for both new and existing customers. Below, we’ve rounded up the top promotions available heading into September of 2025.
Get an unlimited plan for just $15 per month
Don’t need multiple lines, but looking for deeper savings? You can get service for as little as $15 a month for the first three months, or $25 a month if you commit to a 12-month plan. While this might seem odd, keep in mind you can’t keep renewing the 3-month discounted plan. After you pay for the first three months, you’ll effectively continue to pay the normal non-discounted rate going forward.

Right now, Cricket Wireless is offering several Android phones for free. You have to switch your old number over to Cricket (from a carrier other than AT&T), then sign up for a plan of at least $30 or $60 per month, depending on the device you want. As with all phones sold by Cricket, these handsets must be used on the carrier for six months before they can be truly unlocked.
There are plenty of free options right now, but most of them probably aren’t worth it, as they are mostly lower-end Cricket-branded devices. Still, here are what I consider the three best options right now: Moto G 5G (2025) — worth $149.99
Moto G Power 5G (2025) — worth $159.99
Cricket Outlast 5G — worth $109.99
