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

I'm new.
I understand the part about purchasing a number from e-bay. (<$10)
Ordering the phone for $50 with $60 service, then downgrading to $30 service after activation so the $60 will cover 2 months of service. ($110)
Paying the $30 for the next 4 months. ($120)
so about $240 total.
So, if I just do the steps above, I am beating the Costco deal.


But I am totally lost on the referrals and rebates. The rebate site is named rebates, right?
Do I find someone on this thread with a referral link and sign-up through the link and then we both get $25 credit?
Will I get my own referral link after I sign up? Does someone just have to click it for me to get another $25 credit or do they have to click it and sign up?

And how are people getting two phones for the price of 1? I don't need two, but I'd like to understand.

I'm not planning to trade it. I'll keep it but cancel and unlock at 6 months.
For cashback/rebates, raku 10 is giving $5 per phone. You can buy 1 phone at $50+$60 or buy 2 phones at $100 + $60+ $30 for second line with multi line discount ,but both phones need to be in single order. For me, 2 phones were at $180 + $9 in tax - $10 cashback.

For referral link, you first need to get that link and give your email id to cricket and they will send you code in your email. Then once you activate the line, immediately enter the referral code which you would have got in email. I do not know how it works if you place order before getting referral email but you do need to have referral code before activating the line.

You can get referral link through ebay or reddit.

Notes to people who made the purchase on Friday Nov 20. I never received a shipping confirmation email but my phone just got delivered before noon today by UPS. Make sure to be there to take the package because I don't think they will leave it at your door.

My question: I bought the phone to trade in with Apple. Can I just put the phone in the trade in kit from Apple? Do I need to activate the phone? I think I read some comment about being charged full price if I do not activate the phone, but I can't find that comment anymore.

I have an att number and was looking for other deals with iPhone SE. Metro by t-mobile has it for 49$ and should be able to unlock in 6 months. They have a 30$ plan which might suffice my needs. Is that a comparable deal? Am I missing something?

Duck it. I would have to go to UPS to pick it up then if they require signature.

I guess you can check for free with swappa. I do not have any financed device to verify this.
If you have UPS mychoice account there is an option to waive signature. Thats what I did for mine over the weekend and driver just left it earlier today without knocking.

I have MyChoice but it's not showing in my account yet, maybe because it is still on the way to the UPS. I guess I have to wait to see it.

Thanks for your help.

The SIM card that you currently have installed in this iPhone is from a carrier that is not supported under the activation policy that is currently assigned by the activation server. This is not a hardware issue with the iPhone. Please insert another SIM card from a supported carrier or reqeuest that this iPhone be unlocked by your carrier. Please contact Apple for more information.

Thank you for the update. If I end up getting a higher plan like 40$ or 50$ - can that be downgraded later?

64GB White MX9P2LL/A is the factory unlocked model number, so that's nice - after the 6 month requirement it should work on any carrier!

Received mine today MX9N2LL/A Model A2275. Activated phone by inserting Cricket SIM, created an account but where in Cricket website shows the countdown of days left to unlock? All I see is request unlock and when I click on it it just shows "Your unlock code is not available. Please call Customer Care at 1-800-274-2538 for assistance." Where can I see the countdown?
