Question looking for a cricket phone the same as my current one or close to it

[thePretender]

Cricket is changing their services to an HD voice LTE, I read the specs on my phone and it shows it has support for volte. However when questioning cricket, they keep telling me the IMEI code says it's not compatible.

So for a week, I've been looking around for phones with similar specs as mine and I can't seem to find any within the price range I paid for my phone which was about $120.

After about a few weeks I thought I would try here, as many of you are up on these phones, much more than me I'm sure, and see if anybody knows of a phone for cricket that has the specs or close to them.

I understand AT&t phones work with cricket as I have a few myself but they get a little wonky sometimes. So just to make sure I have no issues I'm seeking a cricket version

Link does not work. Motorola Moto G and the Samsung A12 are good models, probably the best unlocked cheap phones you will find. You can also just check on the Cricket site and see what they have.

My wife had the A11 (dropped and cracked) now has the A12. Yes nice phone, might have to resort to that one.
Cricket has lots that match the above specs, however they are pricey $200-$400 (including iPhones)
Its the 4GB ram and the battery - it last a long time.

Thanks for mentioning the Axx phones. I too, think they are good and for the money ($99) might have to settle.
