  • how do I unlock a phone to sell?

    Those ZTE phones we got for $1 at Cricket are selling for $98 on eBay unlocked. Do I just take the sim card out to unlock it? It would be amazing to get any money for these crapola cell phones!

        I thought you had to get Cricket to give you an unlock code, but the link says otherwise. Good luck to you.

            I actually never worry about unlocking phones I sell. I just sell them as whatever carrier they were for when we used them. That said, we've always had the big carriers (AT&T, Verizon, etc), so maybe it's different for a Cricket phone.

              since they cost $2, maybe I'll try selling them locked first. I cannot believe anyone actually chooses to buy this phone, it was really bad.
