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

what are the odds that cricket will lock the phone up after i throw away the sim card and cancel membership?
None, I did that with some previous Cricket deals.

The phone arrives SIM locked the only way to unlock it is to have service on it for 6 months
Or use the hacky RSIM approach

It doesn't matter if you activate it, or not, or try to activate it with an AT&T sim or TMobile or Verizon sim at first boot up - it is LOCKED period.

You are either logged into an existing account
OR
you are using numbers they think are part of the AT&T mvnos or numbers that until the recent past were cricket numbers
OR
you've already gotten a recent deal from this address

Atleast that has been my experience
I figured it out, I was trying to port a number from tracfone (you can for this offer) but I had activated on one of their blue SIM cards (at&t) instead of the pink one (T-Mobile) that's why it didn't work.

The eBay seller finally sent me the numbers I ordered yesterday but I have already completed my purchase. Hoping there are more deals like these coming up in 30 days. Or if anyone needs one? DM

I am ready to purchase now that I have my referral email but have a few questions. Do I open the referral email and purchase & port there or purchase and wait till I get the phones delivered to me? Looking at the steps 1 and 2 for new user I am not to sure there about step 3.

You will put your referral code in the app after you received your phone.

Correct. Referral code is only used after you activate your account when you receive the phone.

Update:

Sorry ended up using the 2 boost port in numbers that mentioned in the previous post. They're no longer available.


First order required additional information for the boost mobile ebay port-in. I didn't read the front page of the SD wiki, don't copy and paste the port-in account info. Cricket send me two subsequent emails asking to verify information account number and pin number. After verifying both, a few hours later I got a successful confirmation.

Second order, I used different household name, abbreviated street name, and used a close-by city name. Entered all ports in from boost manually, still required me to verify account and pin numbers; Cricket sent two emails to verify each piece of info. Now waiting on the shipping info.

if you need port in buy from la68076823 on ebay, the listing that has it for like $7 bucks. I bought 3 and he sent it within 30 minutes.

Additional tips:
1. if you have sprint unused sim buy tello $5 minutes only plan and use promo code found online for 15% off. I used a cdma/gsm capable unlocked iphone. I tried another unlocked iphone and other unlocked phone and tello would not accept the imeis.
2. if you buy the boost port ins enter all info manually. they may still send you two emails one to re-verify account number and the other for pin. Just verify and youll hopefully get the shipment notification. for second order use different household name, use paypal key to generate virtual card, and change up road name abbreviation and use different city name.
3. use popular cashback site for $10 off
4. check your chase offers for $25 off.

I am currently on 4 lines for $100 plan with Cricket and planning to jump on this deal. According to the Wiki, I will purchase the phone on a new account, wait 2 months and pay $30 for each month, merge the new account to my current 4-line account, cancel the new merged line and get 2x$25. I have two questions:
1- Is this math correct:
$50+tax (phone) + 2x$30 (2 months of service) - 2x$25 (referral) = $60+tax
2- After merging the new line, can I just put my current sim into the new phone and keep the same number?

So if we want to get two, we should make two different accounts? I assume that is because you want to get the referral credit for each of them separately?
