i have lifeline with a different phone company; can i port my number to cricket and get the cricket lifeline credit?

Yes, but you’ll need to apply for the Cricket Lifeline Credit after you port your number. Lifeline eligibility is determined by your state. If you still meet your state’s qualifications for Lifeline, you’ll be eligible for the Cricket Lifeline Credit. Lifeline will not transfer from your previous phone company’s account; you must reapply for Lifeline for Cricket service.

The application process varies by state. Click here to learn more about Cricket's Lifeline Credit.
