Question
I want to buy a dual mode CDMA + GSM phone. The one I'm look at is the D69-CD. http://74.125.47.132/search?q=cache:JmRtXQbk1BkJ:www.gadgetgreats.com/2-6-tri-ba...

Would this work in the US with my local cricket service?

Answer
This phone will not work with Cricket service. Please don't spend your money on this device. Only phones that cricket sells can be flashed from other carriers to Cricket and if a phone is flashed that they don't sell, you can only use the phone for voice services (in some cases). This particular device most likely won't work at all even if someone could flash it because it is mainly a GSM phone. Please don't waste your money on this. I hope this helps. thanks. DebiN
