Alcatel OneTouch Idol 3 coming to Cricket for just $150
When Alcatel first unveiled the Idol 3 earlier this year, we were pleasantly surprised by what the company had on offer. With fairly solid specs and a price tag that was very aggressive, there was a lot to like about the new mid-range flagship. For this reason, the Alcatel OneTouch Idol 3 has occupied a slot on our “best cheap phones” list ever since its release, but now it’s getting even better with its arrival to Cricket Wireless.
On November 6th the Idol 3 will hit Cricket’s network for a price of just $149, a whole $100 cheaper than the unlocked model. For those that are a fan of the AT&T-backed prepaid service, this is one heck of a deal.
