Help Is Cricket Paygo still available?

I have a Cricket phone waiting to activate, just to park a number for a while... but I can't find anything.
Thanks.

PS I see AT&T has- i could buy their sim... and turn off data + not give out # on the 25 cent per min to keep it cheap...
 
I don't believe paygo is still available.. they have a $25 plan but that's the lowest.. I just contacted my friends at Cricket to confirm and that's what they said.

Thank you.
AT&T pay go is the other option, without having to unlock.
$100 expires in 12 months... with data off.
Or, pay to unlock, go to xda... debrand, enable b12, flash Tmo ROM, even Win 10.
$3 monthly for Tmo pay as you go.

I'd appreciate any unlock thoughts you may have.

At AT&T store I could pay $30, expires in 30 days, includes their Sim, then unlock on their web portal.

Thank you again for checking!

Cricket will unlock a phone if it meets these requirements, doesn't say you must be a current customer:
https://www.cricketwireless.com/support/apps-and-services/device-unlock/customer/device-unlock.html

Otherwise you'll have to pay to unlock.

AT&T says you don't have to be a customer to unlock, but I don't know if they'll unlock a Cricket phone even though it's the same network:

Thanks so much.
AT&T portal can work for other mvno models, seemingly not cricket though... or not lately.

Cricket after 6 months, or at store if you sign up for $70 plan... or port over a coupla lines.
