I chatted online with an agent before I bought the iPhone SE promotion. Now cricket told me that the information from that agent was wrong. There is nothing they can do. I will need to continue with $60 plan for 3 months before I can change it. The agent I talked to before purchasing the order clearly told me that I can change my plan anytime after activae my phone. Cricket should honor the information from the agent.
Attached is the relevant chat history a few hours before bought the iPhone SE (Oct 24th) on Cricket, I would be happy to forward the whole transcript if needed:
USER: I will have to subscribe for the $60 plan to be eligible, or could I change my plan after the first month
AGENT (Ron): While placing the order you need to select $60 UL more
AGENT (Ron): For 3 month to get the device at $0.00
AGENT (Ron): However as soon as your services are active you can contact us we can change the rate plan accordingly
USER: okay I see, so I have to subscribe the $60 when I place the order, but I can change the plan after I activate my account?
USER: but still be eligible for the offer?
AGENT (Ron): Absolutely!
