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.

Ok I can't say I've read all 180+ pages, but trying to figure something out. I'm already a cricket customer and want an unlocked SE without changing my current plan. When I activate the new plan, do i have to pay for 6 months of service to unlock? Or if I put my current sim into the new phone, will that count as continued service after the first 2 months?

If I have to keep the new service for 6 months that's 50+60-25-25 for 2months, +120 for 4 more months so $180....doesn't seem that slick in my case.

just start off the 6 month timer by putting your sim from your current account to start with.

and check your pm

Go here to speed things up. Enter your order number and the second phone number you are porting.

if you don't want to chat with them, you should eventually get an email asking for the account number of the second line. Once you give them that information, you should get another email requesting the PIN number of that second number. After you give them that, you should be good

Can someone with experience help me understand the credit and merging process? I've read through all of these 186 pages, and I just stumbled across something that made me question my understanding of the credits.

I've ordered and received shipping confirmations for 3 orders of 2 SE's each. My goal is to trade 4 of them into Apple, and consolidate the remaining two accounts in such a way through account credits, self-referral, etc that I can keep the last two alive for 6 months and unlock them. Is that possible without any added cash?

I had thought each account would have $120 of credit total on the two lines. And if I downgraded them both and cancelled one, I'd immediately have $90 (3 months) for one line. Then I'd need to self refer and strategically merge to make sure I had six months of credit for 2 lines. But now I've realized that the $30 discount for buying two lines might actually be a $30 reduction in available credit, as well. Is that true? I also thought that I could self-refer so that I'd end up with $125 in referral credit ($50 each for 2 self-referrals and $25 for initial Reddit referral). Of course I could hope to gain extras through posting my own link to Reddit.

Any flaws or caveats I'm missing?
With separate line it's, 109-$20 take20-$25 referral = $64
With combined it's 188-$20-$25-$30 (line merged) = $113 for two iphone and three paid months of service (add one for referral month)

Referral credit is once per account

You should get an email within 1-3hours with the subject line "Important Update: Your Phone Number Transfer(s)". It will have a link to update the account number and pin. Unfortunately, you have to click on the link twice, the first time to update the account number, 2nd time to update the pin.
