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

exactly my point, do you want to risk for all this work, lol
High return = high risk... LOL. But you are right, its a risk for sure. There will be no data point for online trade in value, not at least for another 2-3weeks time.

Anyone can provide data point value of trading this exact model in apple store in person? I can't do it because the stores in my states are closed due to statewide lockdown.

It didn't work not because of the 180 days. It doesn't work for existing customer period! Regardless if you are porting in a line to your account or not. Hence the comprehensive wiki to create new account and self refer etc to get the cost down. So it will be $110 and if you combine the account, you will get the 2x$25 self referral to offset it.
Just a month ago I got a free phone when adding a line and porting in a boost number. I've been using that method for years.

Silly question but please consider,
What if I don't activate the service, call Cricket to cancel the service and keep this phone for use as Wifi only device? Would they refund $60 for plan that I don't wish to activate?

Any response will be highly appreciated.
Thanks,
Do whatever you want with the phone

No refunds on paid service -- if you don't activate then you'll lose the $60 service

Better to activate then downgrade to $30 plan right away -- it'll use remaining $30 towards 2nd month

If you use a referral then $25 from there will cover most of 3rd month -- pay remaining $5

This gives you an extra line to use for promos or port out later on for another deal at a diff carrier

Its prepaid so no need to cancel -- just don't pay and it'll cancel on its own

Do you know why it wouldnt work? " Boost number I got may not work with Cricket."

Lots of people bought number form Ebay Seller (BOOST) and got the phone shipped.
The seller I purchased from had this in the fine print "NOT RECOMMENDED FOR CRICKET ONLINE PROMOTIONS!!!! PLEASE DO NOT PURCHASE FOR THIS!!"​

I didn't read that ahead of time since I've been purchasing for years with no issue. Right now I'm just hoping the order ships

You are incorrect on the 256gb requirement. It applies to all models.

I have already traded in 1 SE 2nd gen and just submitted another request for trade in. Nowhere does it mention the 256gb requirement.
When did you trade in online through apple.com your iphone SE 64GB? Have you actually received the $205 in apple gift card? Thanks in advance.

It's prepaid so they wont refund you for not activating. You've already paid for two months of service (if you downgrade to the $30 plan) so might as well use it. The cool thing is that you can just not pay your bill at the end of the 2 months and that will be the end of that. You don't have to call Cricket to cancel it. No hassle there
