Buying a new Samsung Galaxy S10+ from Fingerhut

I'll let Cricket answer for themselves but from what I gather you should be able to use that phone with Cricket except for getting wifi calling.  Only phones purchased from Cricket directly get wifi calling.  At least that's my understanding and I'm not sure if you get VoLTE/HD voice either if you don't purchase directly from Cricket. But let them say for sure. I also think Cricket only locks their phones for 6 months and not phones purchased elsewhere. Correct me if I'm wrong......

So when you say some of the features may not be compatible you don’t mean things like texting and sending photos through texting etc? As long as I can text and make calls I’m happy. Oh and using the Internet of course. I don’t care about mobile hotspot and WiFi calling. Since I’ve been a customer for years will my phone be locked?

The website says that the phone is an unlocked phone but does not say if it's an international phone or an American phone? If it's an international phone will it still work with Cricket? This is what it says on the description of the phone.

I hope this helps to explain what I'm wondering about. It's an American company.

@Texasgrrl The device will work on our network. We will just have to update the APN settings when you activate the device on your line.

Thank you!
I went to my Cricket store and they told me that I had to bring the phone in. I asked if I could just put the SIM card in and the employee said no that I’d have to come in? I don’t mind going in but I’d rather do it myself.

Even they told me the same i have to bring the device to them and the y will install the SIM card by themselves even though i said that i want to install it by myself.
