Cricket Wireless has just updated its phone deals as part of what it's calling a "MEGA SALE." Free 5G phones, a $99.99 iPhone 11, and a continuation offer of $49.99 for an iPhone SE are the featured deals.

New TV Commercials?
Nothing is confirmed yet, but it does look like Cricket may be launching some new TV ads to support their Mega Sale phone offer. Cricket Wireless launched three new video ads this morning on its YouTube channel. The ads are all 15 seconds in length, a perfect fit for TV advertising. At press time, all the YouTube ads released are in Spanish. But Cricket does typically release both English and Spanish variants of its ads. Only one ad, entitled "Join the Circus," specifically mentions the Mega Sale. You can watch it below.
Cricket has not specified how long its new offers will last. These are likely a kickoff to its tax season deals.
I went to my local cricket store to get this deal and they can’t even get it together long enough to sell me the phone. Even tried to call costumer service. Looks like this promotion is just a lie. Very poor taste cricket.
Sorry ???? but no one wants to paid 3months in events they’re looking month to month basis 3 months in advance it’s hard when you don’t have the money if you are low income I do not know how people can react that way when people are struggling but some don’t care at all
