But while Cricket Wireless can’t give away the iPhone 7 or Samsung Galaxy S7 for free this Black Friday weekend, AT&T’s low budget-focused daughter operator will not ask you to jump through many hoops to score its best holiday deal either.
No trade-in required, no convoluted fine print or strings attached. Just visit one of the prepaid carrier’s brick and mortar stores or head over to cricketwireless.com from now until Sunday, November 27, and pay $49.99 on a recently launched ZTE Grand X 4 with activation on a smartphone plan.

A solid spec sheet for that introductory price, a killer bang for buck now.
