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.

Buy 6x @ cost of $89.99+tax = $540. ~$600 OOP cost with tax and port in numbers.

Trade in to Apple for $1230 in gift cards. $600+ in free money in Apple GC to buy an UNLOCKED 12 Pro Max (or whatever other combo of new, unlocked phones you wish)

Figure in the port numbers, tax, etc and cash back is a wash. Many are not keeping these to even care about RSIM or 6 mo unlock.

This is free Apple money, but stick with that locked Tmo XR Smilie
Did you do the trade ins yet? If so online or in-store? I see if you select T-mobile there is an extra $150 trade in offer - any chance you know more about that

activated two lines with the $25 refer code, but thinking to keep one line, can I still get the $25 refer credit if I cancel one line now?
few days ago i bought 2 devices in one transaction (one account) and cancelled one of the line the next day. it still shows the $25 referral calendar countdown still going.

For those doing cash back ($5); is it each line you get $5 or is the the whole order? So if you were to order 2 phones in the same order, do you get $5 or $10?

Great! Hopefully my trade-in boxes will arrive soon.

I also place 4 separate orders using the same address. For the first two orders, I used the normal address. For the second two, I simply put the apt number in the first line and the street address in the second line, and the orders went through. I have received three of them, and the last one just got shipped this afternoon.
you did 4 separate orders meaning, all different accounts? cuz deal is maximized if you get maximum/ multiple phones.

Hmm, okay. I always thought it was based on order which was why I've been doing multiple orders instead of 2 phones per order.

At least I have observed that it's per line, not order. I can confirm for Verizon, Sprint, Cricket, ATT....

If you cancel the service it definitely won't be unlocked even if you leave the Sim in.

Here's the language straight from the unlock page:

"To unlock your phone, you must maintain active Cricket service for at least six months or be on an Unlimited plan with service activated before Jan. 4, 2018. "


yikes, looks like i may have to find a way around that.

I sold a phone today, although the transaction was clunky. Is there any way to show a buyer the phone is legit without them having to sign in to their account?

I dont know much about Iphones but with androids you can go through all that set up & get to the home screen without signing in. Easier to show a buyer the phone works by just popping a sim in.

Go through the set up process, but skip all the icloud sign in.

I had similar issues as you..

Even after following instructions, RSIM did not initially work.
I had alredy updated the iOS.
So I tried this-
completely reset (erased everthing) the phone, searched online for ICCIDs there are two recent one from two different websites (google it)-tried both one by one with cricket SIM.

switched off phone replaced SIM with mint SIM. The phone then asked me again for apple id verification, then it worked. (I dont remeber which ICCID worked)

Hopefully it works out for you
The problem for me is ICCID screen is not displaying. Whenever i put in RSIM and my SIM (even the original TW SIM) i get "SIM Not Inserted" or "No SIM" error. Now after inserting and taking out so many times, RSIM broke. One side is completely useless. Other side is useful but still not working. I even tried it in a different iPhone X & iPhone 11 Pro. All of them throws the same error.

T-Mobile processed the $150 rebate that quick?
