Cricket Wireless is leaning hard into the prepaid fight with a promotion that puts two Android phones within reach at no upfront device cost for qualifying customers. The standout offers are the Samsung Galaxy A37 5G and the Moto G Stylus (2025), both tied to a simple new-line deal rather than a maze of extra conditions.
What makes the promotion notable is how little is asked in return compared with many carrier offers. Cricket does not require a trade-in, and it also skips the activation fee, which lowers the initial cost of switching or adding service.
Free phones for a qualifying Unlimited line
The free-device offer applies when a customer adds one new line on an eligible Unlimited plan. That setup makes the promotion especially relevant for people who want to bring in a family line or move service over from another carrier.
For buyers focused on value, the absence of a trade-in requirement is an important distinction. Many wireless promotions still depend on surrendering an old phone, but Cricket keeps this one simpler.
The Moto G Stylus (2025) and Galaxy A37 5G are the two phones highlighted most clearly in the offer. Both can be obtained at no cost as long as the qualifying new-line and Unlimited-plan conditions are met.
Lower entry cost beyond device deals
Cricket is also trying to appeal to customers who do not want a new handset at all. Through its bring-your-own-device program, the carrier offers up to $300 off when service is paid in advance.
That option gives customers a second path into the network if they prefer to keep their current phone. For some users, the service discount may be more valuable than taking a new device, especially if they are already satisfied with their handset.
The company says single-line service starts at $30 per month. Pricing can drop further when more lines are added, which may matter for households looking to bundle multiple numbers under one account.
Service perks alongside the handset offers
Cricket’s plans include unlimited talk, text, and data on selected tiers. The carrier also points to international coverage support, mobile hotspot access, and additional benefits across its lineup.
One of the more visible extras is HBO Max, which is included as a benefit on certain data plans. That adds another layer to the offer, since the value is not limited to phone discounts alone.
Cricket also says customers can try the service free for 14 days. That gives prospective users a chance to test network performance in their area before making a full switch.
The carrier further says eligible orders can ship free in two days. It also states that there are no taxes or hidden fees, and that customers can cancel at any time without penalty.
Taken together, the promotion gives Cricket a sharper edge in the prepaid market. It combines free Android phones for eligible new lines with a lower-cost path for customers who simply want service on their own device.
