Alcatel Idol 4 on Cricket is half-off with packed-in VR
Sure, Alcatel’s Idol 4s has had more media traction in its Android form and especially the Windows 10 form. It’s really no surprise that the regular ‘ol Idol 4 gets the shaft.
But there is a time, a place and a use for the Snapdragon 617-powered Idol 4. It features the same multimedia amenities like those 360-degree speakers, VR goggles as packaging and an any-orientation interface. And AT&T-owned Cricket Wireless has been selling this phone for $199.99.
Not anymore — it’s now half-off, $99.99, at the prepaid carrier and yes, the headset is still included… unlike with that Amazon package for the Idol 4s.

Cricket brings the just-launched ZTE Grand X 4’s price down to $50 for Black Friday
It’s not easy for small prepaid wireless service providers to contend the US “Big Four” even under normal circumstances, so trying to snatch customers away from T-Mobile, Sprint or Verizon during the gift-giving season sounds like a perfect mission for Tom Cruise.
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.
Mind you, this respectable mid-range 5.5-incher is literally as fresh as paint, costing $130 last week with a fingerprint reader in tow, Android 6.0 Marshmallow, Snapdragon 425 processor, 2GB RAM, 13/5MP cameras, and 3,140 mAh battery. A solid spec sheet for that introductory price, a killer bang for buck now.
Cricket has an abundance of tempting limited-time offers for folks bringing their numbers over from a different network too, including a $100 ZTE Grand X Max 2 with 6-inch Full HD screen resolution and dual 13 + 2MP rear cams, $30 Samsung Galaxy Amp Prime, and free Microsoft Lumia 650, ZTE Sonata 3 or LG Spree.

Well, this is beyond confusing.

In the meantime, the price dropped to $60, and now $30 on Cricket Wireless, where the entry-level 4.5-inch phone is branded Alcatel ...

Cricket discounts Lumia 650 to $70 if you move your number over
With Cricket being the only carrier in the US to have the Microsoft Lumia 650 for sale, we’re probably not going to see the only mid-ranger with Windows 10 Mobile native on it go for much less than this.From launch, it has been reduced in price by $20 to $109.99. But if you’re looking to leap to Cricket along with your number, you can get the Lumia 650 for $69.99. We’re not sure how long this ...
