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

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
The guy is running games and benchmarks throughout the 4 hour testing, so it will drain the battery alot faster. For me, the SE-2 drains about 25% a day with very light use whereas my Moto Z2 force would drain about 50-60% a day with light use..

I just called a local Cricket Store and asked if they accept FreedomPop.

The rep said, "We can try it!"

So then I asked, if porting from Freedompop work, how long do I have to wait to replace my FreedomPop phone number with my ATT phone number and the rep said "You won't get the discount."

Does anyone here have experience working around this situation? I've had my ATT phone number for 12 years and hate to give it up.
As someone suggested earlier, you will need to port it out to somewhere else (non-ATT), then from there port back to Cricket.

I see that the site allows me to purchase $30 plan along with $49 phone. Doesn't match the instruction of getting $60 plan for the deal. Am I missing something?

Trust me, you do not want to go and deal with slimy MetroByT authorized dealers. You've been advised!
That's why it's better to deal with a Metro corp store..less or no tax and some corp stores will not charge the $15. activation fee. Another advantage is porting is fast and usually under 15 minutes. Don't like the phone? They will exchange for another within 7 days and no fees. This SE here on Cricket has all the bands for the full T-Mo network, but no so with some androids so if planning to buy from Cricket and if thinking about running it on T-Mo, check to see if the phones have the bands, especially T-Mo's bands 66 and 71. Example is LG Stylo 6 (free with portin) that does not have 66/71 for use on T-Mo. It's also available for free with portin on Metro and that variant has many more bands so works fully on At&t and T-Mo.

How long do I have to activate the line after placing the order? Searched here but could not find an answer.

30 days from the time you place the order.

Does it automatically port over after 8 days as someone mentioned?No. 30 Days as per cricket rep on phone.

If you don't keep an active line on the cricket phones for 180 days you won't be eligible for unlocking, this is a (clunky) way around it
R SIM Amazon link please compatible for this model. Thanks.
