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

Does this deal work with porting other AT&T MVNOs like H2O or Redpocket?

You know I'm not sure if they'll let you get two referral bonuses with one account. Hopefully someone else would know
yeah, ended up creating 2 separate accounts. On my initial 2 line order, the page only takes account/pin information for line 1 and it mentioned I would be contacted via email for account/pin information on line 2.

After you get your referral credits in both accounts, contact support to merge the accounts. You'll have both referral credits on there.

From Step 4 of the Wiki: After 2 months on cricket plan, both your new and old accounts are credited each with the $25 referral. The $25 referral credit will apply on the 59th day and you will get a text notifying you of the credit. After the credit posts, 1 day before your third month is charged on your new account, call Cricket customer service to merge your new account with your old account ensuring your $25 credit from the new account is transferred/ merged with your old account and then cancel that additional line that was merged
What if the accounts are in different names? Another question is, say you have two phones on one account & immediately downgrade to the 30 a month plan on both. if you cancel 1 phone line right away can you move that credit to the other phone, so 4 months for 1 phone instead of 2 months for 2? After that and the referral credit I would only need to pay for one more month to get it unlocked.

So can I just put the SIM sixth month in the cricket iphone SE and get it unlocked? Or do I need to use the phone during this six month?
You have to pay for 6 months service ( 5 if you use referal code) and keep your phone active with cricket sim for 6 months to unlock. If you are paying for it why not just use it then.

No -- it won't give phone discount in cart when entering ATT or ATT MVNO numbers

You can wait and only generate the code just before you activate your phone.

Wish there's a thread for all SE deals. Just followed the past two days and am pretty confused and unsure which costs the least for unlocking lol is the ATT $149 plus $50 deal not good? People stopped talking about it.
It's great if you are already an ATT customer. Many people are not, and ATTs prepaid plan is expensive. But if you already have a postpaid plan with ATT it's a great deal as you don't need it unlocked (but it will qualify after 6 months)

So I just bought 2 port in numbers from Ebay, now when I go to the cricket website they are asking for account holder's SSN. What am I supposed to write about that?

Now I think that I am wasting my money since I got 2 port-in numbers.

Are you already a Cricket customer? How many lines are you planning on getting?

Say you are an existing customer and have 2 lines with Cricket. You currently have $70 in your account. If you cancel one of those lines, you will still have the $70 credit in your account.

Now say you have a separate account because of this deal. You pay the $50 for the phone and the $60 for the service. You immediately downgrade that to the $30 plan meaning that the $60 you paid will give you 2 months of phone service.

Now you used your first account to generate a referral code. After the credit goes to the two accounts, $25 on one and $25 on the other, you contact support on your first account and let them know that you have a friend or aunt joining your group plan. Now that second account's credits will be added to your existing account credit. Remember how you had $60 on your first account initially, and then $25 for the referral, and then another $25 for the new referral. That leaves you with $110 in your Cricket account. You can then contact Cricket to cancel one of your lines. Your $110 will still be there for use with your other line(s).

You can put 0000 for the SSN

It doesn't matter if the accounts are on different names. They will still let you merge them. I referred my friend to cricket years ago and she is now in my cricket group. They let you join groups with your friends and what not.
