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

I'm interested to hear thoughts from people who are using these as trade in burners.

I was disappointed to see that the Costco deal has this only at $270 trade in value while the iPhone 8 which is an older phone at $370

What's the total to get it unlocked
With downgrade to $30 on first day and $25 referral credit in 60 days, the cost to unlock in 180 days would come to about $214. Any additional referrals you generate would bring the cost down. If you can bring in at 6 referrals, your final cost to unlock in 180 days would shrink to ~$119, the initial cost outlay.

I read a lot of comments about Cricket being very strict about the 180 days policy. You have to use their service for 180 days. If you buy the phone, keep on paying the bill, but do not use the phone every day, then they will not count it towards 180 days. I read that a guy bought 2 phones with a similar offer, used it few days here and there intermittently, and religiously paid the bill for 6 months. When he contacted Cricket, he was told that in total he has used the service for only 5 days and he needs to use it for 180 days to be eligible for unlocking.

Can people with experience clarify this? I was about to pull the trigger but I am not going to use this phone for 180 days regularly, so this will be a complete waste if something similar happens after 6 months.

Ting is not AT&T. Ting provides cellular service in the United States using the T-Mobile and Verizon Communications networks.

so, you could use Ting for this. Ting is owned by dish network.​

They are looking for the contact info for the person I use to get porting numbers.
He's been pretty reliable in my experience. Someone else seconded that and it took off !

Min allowed by eBay is 99 cents, that is why all the listings are showing $0.99!
