I doubt Cricket's going to unlock these, but their 4S is likely just as vulnerable to the unofficial SIM unlocks already in use. Even if Cricket makes you buy a month of service upfront, this could be a rather attractive option for thrifty AT&T users that don't want to be stuck in another contract.
(And that's assuming Cricket even bothers to SIM-lock it. I doubt Cricket has any GSM roaming deals like VZW and Sprint do; leaving it unlocked would make sure it's still usable overseas)

- ConstantineXVI 14y agoThe 4S packs both GSM and CDMA modems, however.
- ben1040 14y agoI can't imagine they wouldn't SIM-lock it. Otherwise it would just open up the possibility for people to buy a $500 iPhone from Cricket without any service commitment, and sell it for overseas use for $600 or $650. Aren't the unofficial unlocks right now somewhat janky? i.e. they require one of those Gevey SIMs that are dependent upon having a jailbroken device, and end up making a call to 911 (or your country's emergency line) as part of the bootup process?
