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.

You might be on to something - I had a 7 left over from a previous deal that maintained the days of service from before and when I put in a sim from this set I saw if started counting down from there instead of resetting to 180.

My theory is you could take a sim and circle it through a few phones and they should all cycle down from 180 days.
How does it work? Swapping some on a daily basis or monthly or ?

Can I order the phone first then ask for a referral code (for the same email address)?
Thank you!
Yes, you can. You need a referral code after activation of the code when you have the phone in your hand.

so you did 4?
I'm thinking of doing this deal to get the 12 pro.
But I'm not sure if it's worth it.
Yeah I got 4 SEs - I will consolidate as Apple credit - since I'm in their ecosystem it's kinda like cash. I might get an M1 MacBook Air at some point.

I have 4 X 8s from the last deal that I am waiting for good Costco deal - I might just give in and get 4 X 12 minis for free on exchange that TMobile is running for existing customers.

I just don't want the minis - I want the Promax so I'll still have to figure out a flip.

I'm in the same situation
I only managed to get 2 iPhone 8's from that cricket deal.
I was waiting for Costco to have their big rebate deal again but it's not looking too good.

Here is a side by side from the iPhone 8 and 12 mini that I took on Wednesday at tmobile.
Looking to do that deal since no other good deals seem to be coming out Mad

Yeah if you have the patience - try swapping SIMs from phone to phone - Make a test call to 611 every day.

Trying skipping a day or 2 see if it lets you go a few days without swapping and still counts down.

Post the results here please if you do. Would be amazing !

Hello, as an update this time I used different address and the Pay Pal key to generate a credit card number and got cancelled again, my record 7 cancellations 😱, now thinking the 2 boost numbers I got from eBay are burned to use online, maybe I will try to go to cricket store(but do not want to take the risk)or get new numbers online but now I am scared to purchase and get the same result and throw another 16 dollars or maybe any good soul who may share a number with me 🤔
You may need to avoid frequent switchover with Paypal key as abuse in PPK will result in suspension of privilege as in TnC

How'd you manage to get in multiple orders? Ship them to different addresses?

The mini on us on T-mobile for existing customers is the most you get for your trade @ $730.

I'm trying to figure out if there's a market for Tmo locked minis that's more $ the other deals OR if I should wait 40 days get them unlocked and flip. I am getting antsy sitting on this "inventory" Smilie need to pull the trigger quick.

Let's get down to brass tacks. If I activate a line on Verizon in order to port how long would that take if anyone knows?

Should be a net profit of ~ $520-550

Pretty decent haul

Phobio boxes dropped at FedEx today - net profit of $103 per device.

Cables, charger, earphones listed on Craigs / FB market getting me an average of $30-40 per box.

How long did it take for you to get Phobio's trade in box after you submit the trade in request?

I submitted a trade in request three days ago, received a confirmation email from Phobio in minutes, but when I checked the status today, it says "Supplies Status Pending" .
