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

Update:

Porting from Net10 seems to be successful. Got a shipment email this afternoon around 2pm PST (updated port info around 7:30am PST).

Originally used the last 15 digit of ICCID (sim card) and got emails from Cricket saying I need to update the info. Decided to try the phone's IMEI (iPhone purchased from Net10), after updating the info twice with the IMEI from the iPhone, got the shipment confirmation email in the afternoon. As for PIN, it was the one I created when activating the Net10 iPhone.

Hope that might help a few that is porting from Net10.

Time to self refer for my $25 renewal credit Wink

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?
esim is locked if the phone is locked to a carrier.

Have a friend who once asked Apple and turned out they don't accept locked phones.
It should be tradeable... I just shipped my iPhone SE from Net10 to Phobio (Apple Trade-In partner) today... We will see what happens lol.

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.
1 person was impatient because he didn't get his port number right away. Following this thread cracks me up..people have zero patience. People ordering and posting why they didn't get a shipping confirmation 3 hours, ect.

Same for me too. I mean Cricket is doing a fantastic job in delivering you order within 2 days. People have become too impatient. They don't know how to appreciate things and create huge fuss for little glitches. Our society is creating a lot of Karens and its sad to witness it.

Tello - if you have a compatible Sprint phone with a Sprint SIM. Otherwise, you're out of luck; you'll need to wait for SIM cards to ship.

Some say Mint Mobile trial kit works, but I don't think it does... At least not easily without a fight with customer service.

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.

The free trial of HBO Max is from cricket here are the details, looks like you can get 3 months for net $5 after promo $25 MasterCard but not sure how HBO max will Bill you if it is thru cricket I won't do it.

HBO Max billed separately. Offer valid from 10/28/20 - 01/15/21. Promo code expires 02/15/21. Those who use the promo code to enroll and pay for two consecutive months of HBO Max ($14.99) after the free trial converts to a paid subscription will receive a $25 Mastercard® reward card. Eligibility: You must be a new HBO Max subscriber, 18 years or older, and must not have previously redeemed any free trial for HBO Max or HBO NOW. Only one 30 day free trial promo code may be redeemed per eligible Cricket customer. No cash value, except as required by law. One-time use only. Not for resale. Additional restrictions apply. To learn more, visit cricketwireless.com/hbo-max. Use of HBO Max is subject to its own terms and conditions, see hbomax.com/terms-of-use for details. Programming and content subj. to change. HBO Max is only accessible in the U.S. and certain U.S. territories where a high-speed broadband connection is available. Minimum 3G connection is required for viewing on mobile devices. HBO MAX is used under license.

Did not realize cricket is giving a free subscription to HBO Max for 1month.
Not sure if that $25 gift card is available outside through a normal HBOMax subscription.
This actually looks like a money maker if you have HBOMax offer on your AMEX cards.

Get a $7 statement credit by using your enrolled Card to make a single purchase of $14.99 or more on subscriptions to HBO Max online at hbomax.com by 2/26/2021

so effectively 3 months subscription: 1 free month and 2 paid months of HBOMax on Amex card works out to be: $25 Master card - 2 *7.99 = $9 MM or 4 months free HBOMax if you are billed before Feb 26th for your 4 month.
