Galaxy S8 from Cricket

I bought my S8 3 yrs this March at Cricket.  I know it's part of AT@T, I was going to give to my wife who uses Total Wireless from Bestbuy my s8 when I get my Note 20 Ultra.  Question?  Would my s8 be compatible with my wifes plan?

On the S8, go into Settings->About and then read the model number. Post that in a reply.

Or use Total Wireless online compatibility checker:

Your S3 is probably locked to Cricket.  As long as you've owned it, and if your bill payments are up to date, Cricket is required to unlock it, on request.  Then it should work on other GSM networks, and CDMA networks if it has that chipset also.

I bought my S8 right out in March 3 yrs ago.
