Unlocking a Cricket-Locked iPhone 13 Pro from Outside the US
Hey everyone,
I’m looking to buy a brand-new, sealed iPhone 13 Pro that’s locked to Cricket in the U.S. and have it shipped to me in Spain. I want to use it here and also on my travels back home.
I’ve come across a lot of online unlocking services, but I’ve heard that many of them are scams. So before I make the purchase, I wanted to ask:
- Can a Cricket-locked iPhone be unlocked remotely while I’m in Spain, or does it have to be done while the phone is in the U.S.?
- Has anyone successfully unlocked a Cricket phone through a legitimate service? If so, which one and how much is it going to cost me?
- Once unlocked, will it work normally with European carriers and remain unlocked after iOS updates?
- Are there any risks or things I should watch out for before buying?
Would really appreciate any advice from people who’ve been through this. Thanks in advance!
