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

From personal experience starting in August, I think you are a victim of mis-information. I have done this and had the phone on but not used for many days at a time, and according to the website, the clock is running down very accurately. There are some days without even an incoming call, but again, getting closer to the unlock date. What I cannot say is whether or not it will still count down if the phone is actually turned off.
Thanks..Clarifies a lot of things for me..

Yes. you can use your card for paying your account balance. you will get the credit back in 5-7 days
thanks. my point is since my balance is already negative after activation (changing $60 to $30 plan), can I continue to pay using multiple cards separately?

Well, I have not been in your situation. Why don't you try making a payment / adding balance to you account? no harm in this.

Here is the order update:
Thank you for ordering wireless service from Cricket. We're working with your current wireless carrier to bring your number(s) to Cricket. We'll email you as soon as we have a status update.

We must confirm your number transfer within three days of ordering or your order will be canceled.

Does this mean the order wont ship until porting is complete ?

Anyone know how quickly you can port out of cricket? I also ordered the Google Fi Pixel 4A 5G deal and need a number to port into there, figure I can use the same number I just ported into Cricket.

as soon as you activate the phone, downgrade it. should take only 2-3 minutes if you do this online or through your app.

check the account number for each of those lines.
are they the same or different?

with cricket, if you are doing 2 lines, they only let you put the account number for one of the lines. I guess they assume that the account numbers would be the same.

You have to contact customer service if your account numbers are different for each line.
