Prerequisites​

Cricket, like other carriers, has some prerequisites that you have to meet before you can request your phone to be unlocked.

  1. The device you want to unlock has been active for at least six 6 months of paid service.
  2. The device is designed for use on and is locked to Cricket’s network.
  3. The device has not been reported lost or stolen. otherwise known as blacklisted.
  4. The device is not associated with a fraudulent account; your account must also be in “good standing.”
Cricket is actually one of the few carriers that supports military personnel pretty well. The Cricket policy is that they will unlock one Cricket-based smartphone for a service member who doesn’t meet the requirements, but that person will have to provide deployment papers or other supporting documentation.

How to unlock a Cricket phone​

Cricket actually makes it fairly easy to get an unlock code, so long as you meet the necessary requirements. The steps to do it online, over at the Cricket website are:

  1. Sign in, visit Account Settings and select Get Code.
  2. Scroll down to locate the number of the phone or line you’d like to unlock.
  3. Select Request Unlock.
  4. The unlock code for eligible Android phones will automatically be displayed on screen, as well as texted to your phone, so long as you meet the requirements. The unlock process for eligible iPhone users is a little different, as they will receive their unlock code via text message the following business day.
You can also use the Cricket app to unlock your phone.

  1. Download and ppen your myCricket app.
  2. If you’re already signed into the app, make sure to sign out.
  3. From there, you can tap Unlock Device on the app’s sign-in screen.
  4. Tap Unlock at the bottom of the screen.
  5. Once your phone is successfully unlocked, restart it to complete the process. Once restarted, you should be able to take your Cricket phone and use it on any other network, including international ones.
Like we mentioned, Cricket is one of the few carriers that support military members with excellent communication services. If you need an expedited unlock, here’s the official word from Cricket:

“If you’re in the military and need expedited unlocking prior to deployment, please call Customer Support at 1-800-CRICKET (1-800-274-2538) or dial 611 from your Cricket phone. We appreciate your service. “

Yea, I already know all this, and the 6 mos is not met so that's why trying backdoor channel. Person I got it from said it was more than 6 mos but actually they had it more but only registered it 2. Now stuck unless I can unlock.
