Cricket offers bill credits for old phone trade-ins in the US

Cricket Wireless launched a new trade-in program on April 4, 2025. Customers can receive bill credits by trading in old phones. Unlike similar programs, credits are applied directly to service costs, not for new devices or accessories. The trade-in value depends on factors like phone model, condition, and storage. For instance, a functional iPhone 11 with a cracked screen is estimated at $38. Cricket's program allows users to lower their monthly bill payment. Customers can get an estimate through Asurion's portal. They can then mail their devices, using packaging provided. This program aims to help customers save money on their Cricket service costs.
