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

these first few ebay posts i've looked at are making me apprehensive. can anyone message me or post a listing that is fast and legit?

one specifically says:

"If your looking for an instant service please DO NOT PURCHASE.

"One Time" individuals attempting to abuse or take advantage of the Cricket promotion ARE NOT SUPPORTED. If you purchase this listing by mistake there will be no refund under any circumstances. We will offer no support for "one time individuals" trying to port to cricket. We also at our discretion refuse to process your order if we suspect you may be attempting to."

I read a lot of comments about Cricket being very strict about the 180 days policy.

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.
You don't have to "use" everyday, but you MUST KEEP AN ACTIVE(with functioning service) CRICKET SIM inside the phone all the time. And keep it powered on.

No, they port prior to activation.

in most cases, if you do not port in 72 hours, your port-in request may get cancelled

Thanks for the tip! This is what I did! Tello actually gave me a $10 credit after opening my first line, so my second line was free!

Bought two SE's on the $60 plan for $200 total + $5 tello line(s) = $205. Also got $5 CB from R.

Planning on doing the apple trade-in for $205 each. Thanks for help!
So we can trade in the devices that have Internet locks?

Thanks for the reply..If I am understanding it correctly, all these people posting that Cricket denied unlocking is because they removed Cricket SIM from the phone? So, if I buy this deal, activate the SIM on phone with the ported number, and leave the phone as it is, I will be fulfilling the T&C for unlocking, is it?
Also, the phone needs to be turned on all the time for T&C to fulfill?

The unlocking process by Cricket seems too confusing after reading all the posts.
