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

$205 per iPhone SE.
Only one SE qualifies for each iPhone purchase, and it has to be an iPhone purchase.

I got my iPhone XR for free from Costco T-mobile March 2019 deal, after adding a line ($10/month, cancel anytime) and trading in a Total Wireless iPhone 6S which I obtained for $50. That was the best iPhone deal ever. Phone was unlocked by T-mobile after a month of usage.

This on the other hand is not a deal. You're paying $50 for a locked phone that will cost $150-$180 of service to unlock, and this phone has a tiny screen, huge bezels and a 1.8k mah battery. This means poor productivity, despite the fast processor. The battery will degrade so much that in 2 years you will not even want to use this phone anymore, despite Apple supporting this phone until 2024. Trust me on this one.

For a $100 unlocked Android budget phone, I can get a phone with 5000 mah battery and 6" 1080p screen with slim bezels all around, and I can afford to upgrade the phone to better specs every 2 years and I don't have to worry about deteriorating battery health and continuous support from the manufacturer.
Stupid. With light usage the battery will last. You can also replace e battery for $50 and get service updates with apple for 5 years on this phone. You will be lucky
To get even 1 upgrade with your budget Android. Some people prefer a smaller form factor and don't need or want a phablet. Not for you then move on.

The Iphone SE 2 has a premium camera for photo and video recording. The video recording capability is actually better than any Android phone overall, including flagships. The 1st gen Iphone SE also delivers better video recording performance than still ....most Android phones and all budget Android phones, even ones that cost more.

The A13 Bionic processor is also made to be a lot more energy efficient.

This is a prepaid service - no credit check is required. Yes, the phone is LOCKED to Cricket Wireless.

My order finally shipped at 11 PM ET....ordered at 11 AM ET with a Boost port-in bought from eBay....I ordered the red version, I am guessing that was the reason for the delay.

Don't by the porting number from eBay seller ignatto (Seller Based in Russian Federation).
Paid for the number and even after 12 hours no response, no number provided and won't reply back to my emails. Really bad experience.

Note to Mods: please add this info to Wiki.
that auction states 2 hours to 24 hours with possibility of delays up to 48 hours.
So after 12 hours you are upset?
