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

Quote from Pseudoty :
Yes, when you sign into the phone with your Apple ID (you do not need to activate the phone and this can be done over wifi) your Apple account will have a free year of Apple TV. You do not have to redeem it immediately and if you cancel it will end the service immediately so you have to set a reminder to cancel in a year.
I already have Apple TV subscription for few more months, does anyone know if this will extend by one more year?

Correct. That is the seller I bought from.

Its technically two chips in one. You cut it in half and each can be used on one phone. So its good for two devices.
Does everything work? Including WiFi calling work on TMobile?

No. Free trial is once per account. That is the reason I created a new apple ID for when my current one expires.

Has anyone tried to do the trade in at Apple in store? Apparently they require a reservation now to even go in. Just FYI for people who didn't already know

There were reports that the eSim on the prepaid carriers were unlocked. No US prepaid/MNVO support eSims yet, but I'm going pick one of these up just in case.
Please, anyone, let us know if this is true about the e-SIM!!

I have ordered two new phones/lines from Cricket. How does cricket reach you to get the account/pin for the second line? I just entered the account/pin for the first line while placing the order. I hope they don't call one of the ported numbers, because I got them off ebay.
Can someone who did this deal already, shed some light on this? Thank you.

You should get an email asking you to enter the details on the second line. But if you don't want to wait, you can chat with customer support and let them know that you would like to provide porting details for line 2.

I just went through the steps and have an instant new number with Tello, but it's not accepted by Cricket when I type it in. Does it take a while for Cricket to recognise the number?

**update**

It was my VPN

If I order 2 lines in 1 order, when I use the referral code, how much credit will I get?
$25 or $50?

Thanks for the reply, so ordering separately seems to be a better strategy.
Does Cricket have limit of 2 orders (if I order 1 phone in each order) or 1 order per address?
