Samsung Galaxy S6-Edge

Cricket has announced pricing and release details for the flagship Samsung Galaxy S6. The phone will be released on April 24th for $649.99 and ties into previously announced financing programs aimed at higher-end devices such as the aforementioned phone.

The first financing option for those with good credit is a conventional 24-month loan. Customers under this program make an initial payment of $19.99, then 24 equal monthly payments at 0% interest. The second option also asks for an initial payment of $19.99 and requires a credit check, but cuts interest-free payments to just six months. Customers who pay off the balance in six months won’t be charged any interest, but those customers who don’t will have up to 18 months to pay the device off at 29.99% interest.

The third option is a 90-days-same-as-cash program commonly used with rent-to-own and furniture stores. Customers will make an initial payment of $49.99 and pay off the balance within 90 days, with this option not requiring a credit check. The financing plans are available for all devices that cost $199.99 and higher, and can include additional accessories and taxes.
