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 Maqureshi0786 :
just an FYI, I was checking to see how much it will cost me to add a new line today and it says $10 owe today and $25 per month. My lines have always cost me $10 a month, don't know why the cost changed. April was the first and only time I moved a line out. Never moved a line in. Don't know if they are related but this is the first time after that port did I check how much it will cost to open a new line. Was checking to see if I would qualify for the free add a line that starts today 11/25 I think, and so far nope.
Got it. I also went in to check and try to add a line and mine shows the same ($10 owe today and $25 per month). I haven't done the port yet.

Just received my phones that I ordered. Is there going to be a problem if I just leave it in the box to trade or sell?

I received this email before a shipping confirmation was sent to me:

Line 1: XXXXXXXXX - Need More Information

Line 2: XXXXXXXXX - Need More Information

If you have any lines that show Need More Information, please select the button below and provide the required account information.
This means that the number that you are transferring into cricket has issues like incorrect account number and/or pin. I would work with Cricket to fix this.

... and you don't need to open the iphones. You can just use the SIM cards in any unlocked phone and activate the line after fixing the issues with the number transfer.

Can this phone be used as an mp3 player / camera without activating it? Can I bypass the activation protocol?
IMO you cannot use an iPhone without activating it. It has to activated at least via WiFi.

So I went back for another round. Used my old Tello account and sprint sim to generate another number for $6. Created a referral from my first cricket account to my second cricket account. Can't get the TAKE20 code banner to pop up like before but do have the Apple Pay button to hopefully get around multiple orders to same address.

Any tips to get the code to apply? I tried manually typing it in but no go.

Cricket will cancel the order if their port-in request fails.

So far I don't think anyone has claimed that they were charged full price for failing to activate their phones / sims cards.

CS can't "replace the bad number" for you. The best they can do is to cancel your order and let you place another one.

If the iPhone is shipped and you have it , yes they can change the number you are porting in. Have done it a few times myself. You just have to be patient with the CS staff and try different ones if you are not successful with just one try.

Will the Apple Pay trick void any cricket offers we have added to the credit card? Anyone know?

I emailed myself the cart and then opened it up in a new safari window and the TAKE20 banner was instantly there. Applied the promo and cost for 1 phone with $60 plan was $89.99. Went to checkout with Apple Pay and it failed:

" Promotional devices are limited to two per household. Visit My Account to add a new line with a promotional device at regular price."

Perhaps the person that reported Apple Pay working had different address details saved on their Apple Pay account.

Where do you enter the referral code? From the website it seems like you enter the referral code after you order AND after you activate.

You can do it from the app or from the Cricket website. If you're on the website, login, go to Cricket Xtras at the bottom, then refer a friend - then you'll hit "have a referral code?" and enter your code there. This is the one that was emailed to you.
