A:AnswerThis phone is locked to Cricket service. You can request to have the phone unlocked after 6 months of service with Cricket. Therefore, it is NOT unlocked and can't be used with T-Mobile. Great phone through.
A:AnswerDon't Know if they have differences internally I know they have the same shell. Cricket uses at&ts network. I have used att phones on crickets network with no problem except you will have waisted factory apps of AT&T instead of cricket on your phone that take up storage space. I used Verizon phone on tmobiles network years ago and the phone constantly sent me notifications saying i was using an incompatible device. I did have to go into apn settings watching a YouTube video to make picture messaging and data work. It did work but definitely could be a hassle. If you have to reset your phone you have to do that process again. Pretty sure you could get them to work but would it be worth the hassle and waisted storage space? You could probably get someone to fully unlock it but after the extra money and time you wouldn't be saving much or anything at all.
A:AnswerYou can block actual numbers, phone will still notify you of the call being stopped, private number can't be blocked, I attached a photo with private number call, as it can't be displayed so it can't be blocked
A:AnswerI think the Cricket Wifi management software may be to blame. While you can sign into captive portal wifi (i.e. Public hotspots that send a sign in web page to your phone) with the Cricket Wifi manager activated, it never seems to work when the manager is deactivated.
A:AnswerI'd say yes, my brother in law lives in Paris, France Baltimore, Maryland and visits Scotland and London often. He uses his unlocked Huawei device with no problems.... Beware of roaming though.
