R-SIM is a SIM card add-on that looks like a really thin SIM card that mounts on top of your nano sim (or below depending on the model) that allows you to bypass the sim lock by hard coding a new ICCID that is unlocked.

You can buy the R-SIMs off ebay/amazon and they are usually $10 give or take.

It works reasonably well and the wiki talks about how to operate it, the only challenge is sometimes iOS updates break it and sometimes you need a new ICCID but for the most part it's great and allows you to use a SIM locked phone with any provider. and in this case you dont have to wait 180 days with Cricket to get an unlock code.

Keep in mind it is unlike the factory unlocking process which is permanent. Here you are dependent always on the R-SIM.

back in the day it also went by the name Gevey SIM.
As long as you have an old Sprint SIM card laying around (they're reusable)... and an IMEI from a phone that's compatible with Sprint's network, you can sign up for the $5 service (data only) or if you want to play it safe... $6 service (500mb data, 100 min). Pay for service, enter in IMEI and SIM card info, activate. You'll have instant access to a new phone number, pin to access port out info.
I bought 2 already. total cost $196 for 2 phones. trade in value of SE at apple is $210

You could have given 0000 as the SSN. I have done this with no issues.

Wiki says to not cut paste account number and pin. I did this for account number but enter the pin manually. I wonder if the transfer will go through. Does anyone know how soon you will get cancellation notice?
Just chat with them online if you have issues, they can fix it.

Hey all I did the visible ghost pepper deal. Can I port that number to this deal? Hasn't been a month of service yet so not sure if I need to stay on visible for that full month.

Quote from bachle.2105 :
U can port her current number from att prepaid over to cricket. The ebay port in number are for people who only need the locked phone from crickets

Edit: see comment below as i didnt know att cant be port to their mvno
To get the port in price of $49. one needs the number porting in to be a non At&t or any of their mvno subs. Example: trying to port in a number from Red Pocket At&t gsm won't work or trying to port in from Tracfone on At&t network will also not work as ported in numbers must be from another network.

My son has an Andoid phone, it usually last him all day. But the SE doesn't last long and needed to recharge more often. Here is the battery drain test shows the SE died at 3 hours 58 min, while other last much longer: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8...osetheboss
In this video, iPhone 12 pro died in 6 hours and 34 min. So it is also not that long. It would be more interesting to compare this phone with Android phones.

You can change the plan to 30/mo the same day you activate the service

Quote from BreakDeal :
1. Port your wife's number to tello,
Then port in to cricket from tello.

2. Get a number from ebay or somewhere.
Use that number to buy the phone.
Later ask if you can change ebay number with your wife's number.
If they don't do that, add your wifes number to your new cricket account with ebay number.
Port out or cancel the number from ebay or somewhere.
Now your wife's number is the only number on the account, and put your wife's sim
on the iphone se.
If the phone number is really important and don't wanna take any chances of losing the number, I wouldn't recommend doing this workaround. There are chances that port in won't go through and it would be a mess. Just my two cents. I have seen a couple of people go through this in the previous deal. To add to this there would be a 90 day waiting period to be considered a number to be new port in (at least for post paid) that I know of.

If the old number have to be hold onto without paying for the service twice , port it into google voice and forward the calls to the new number.
