One of the most common requests we get is how to unlock a phone when the owner is no longer with us. It’s a sensitive situation, but the steps are clear and doable. Below you’ll find a practical guide for unlocking an LG Cricket phone that belonged to a late spouse. Follow the process, keep the paperwork handy, and you’ll regain access without unnecessary hassle.

How to Unlock a Late Husband’s LG Cricket Phone

First, gather the phone’s IMEI number. You can find it on the back of the device, inside the battery compartment, or on the original box. Write it down – you’ll need it for the carrier.

Next, locate the account information linked to the phone. If the account was set up under your spouse’s name, you’ll likely need a death certificate and proof of your relationship (marriage certificate works for most carriers). Call Cricket Wireless customer service, explain the situation, and ask for a lock removal. Most carriers will process the request within a few business days once they have the documents.

While you wait, back up any data you can. If the phone still powers on, connect it to a computer and copy photos, messages, and contacts to a safe folder. This protects you from data loss if the unlock takes longer than expected.

When the carrier confirms the unlock, they’ll provide a code or remotely lift the lock. Enter the code if required, and the phone should be ready to use with any SIM. Test it by inserting a different carrier’s SIM card; you should get a signal instantly.

If you hit a roadblock – for example, the carrier refuses the request – consider reaching out to the FCC or a consumer‑rights organization. They can intervene when a provider isn’t cooperating after receiving the proper documentation.
