How long do you want to ignore this user?
My 12 year old was not responsible and lost her IPhone. It was the older IPhone SE model (A2275) Don't know the specs.
We use Cricket Wireless.
1. What is a lower medium price IPhone to replace it? Where would I find one? Not getting one over $350/400. I'll buy it and she will have a payment plan to me to keep her accountable.
2. She got it elsewhere and afterwards got on my Cricket plan. I have her IMEI #). She remembers her 6 digit passcode but maybe not a pin # or "password."
If I brought this to the Cricket store that the older SE Model was on the plan with, can we transfer data from the cloud at the store with
the IMEI # and 6 digit passcode or is there more and can the Cricket store provide anything else we need. [The store is closed still this morning].

TIA

You can get a refurb 2022 iPhone SE (latest model) for like $200. I've bought several refurbished Apple devices from Gazelle and Backmarket with pretty good luck.

IMEI and passcode of the lost phone won't do you much good. The only way to restore the new phone would be if you had iCloud backup set up on the old phone. If so, you just log in to your Apple ID during setup and restore from your iCloud backup.

Backmarket for sure.

Reputable company and full 1 year warranty. Definitely your best bet. Be sure to pick a decent condition setting and what size memory. Example iPhone 11 unlocked. Likely a black Friday deal this week too to save her a little money depending on what she picks.

Question though, did she have find my iPhone turned on? If so, you can track it if its turned on.
