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 an existing customer and got the iphone 7 from a similar deal a few months back as a new customer (under spouse name). Activated it and after 3+ months the account got closed automatically. After activation the phone remained unused. Recently took it out and used it for another existing line (cricket) and found it had only 72 days for the unlock. So what this could mean is, if you put a sim that's been active in cricket network for 180+ plus days, you might be able to unlock it. That's how I see it. Or may be my case was an exception.
Does the unlock happen automatically? or have to request a code?

Quote from karthik_r :
Even if unlocks after 175 days, it requires 6 months paid service right since it is prepaid? 2 months initial $60 will cover. On 61st Day, 3rd month service (should be covered by referral + $5). On 91st Day, 4th month service. On 121st day, 5th month service. On 151st day, 6th month service.

Is this correct?
Right. You may also want to read my post above.

Probably. Some have reported this again like the last iPhone 8 deal. Chat or call and complain that they left you without a working phone for a few days and you should get a $60 credit on your account. They did it automatically last time because it happened to almost everyone.
thanks. Just chatted and they only approved for $8, 3 missed days.lol

Have you gone to your account on Tracfone? Apparently my Net10 account became deactivated after a few tries from Cricket... Not sure how that works out. We will see... My phone haven't shipped yet.

Just checked my tracfone account. Looks like port in was successful.
It shows my device as inactive with a last service date of the date I ported over to cricket.

Have to request it - on web (possibly on app too).

Something tells me that means the system would probably check if the line is still active in order to generate an unlock code, regardless what the amount of days left say

That's not true if you mean the sim card that the phone came with should be active. See my post above.

So just activated my service using both sims in an old unlocked iPhone. Trading in my phones to phobio tomorrow. Both numbers work which are linked to the sim not the phone. The phone went from IPhone SE Black 64 GB to BYOD (bring your own device) on my account page. Was able to use the referral code.
Then when I went to change plans online from $60 to $30 only one line changed the other keeps on failing any tips?

Also the deal that keeps on giving. The year free of Apple TV is from your Apple ID need to sign onto new phone at least on wifi but do not need to activate line on it.

I see some people saying they are using rsim to unlock, but will this work for esim? Or is there another way to use a locked esim?

Does anyone know for sure if this can be traded-in to Apple?
Have a friend who once asked Apple and turned out they don't accept locked phones.

Why is sdcomputers4less under warning? I have consistently bought from him and never once had issue of bad port number. I am talking about buying 4 numbers in a go sometimes and never faced any issue with porting those numbers. Has always been flawless. And, do not start that I am somehow related or that kind of crap. Its out of respect for that guy that I am writing this post. Every order has been processed within 30 minutes and maximum he took once was 90 minutes. So, for me, the experience has always been pretty smooth.
