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.

Change the address when? Once I get the phone? Maybe I will just use my wife's name as she has different last name. I would be surprised that Cricket will go back and really try to square up. They will obviously always be able to see that we added the new phone to the existing account rather than activating it over at the other account, or I guess I could activate it anyway and the immediately drop in the existing sim and just let the old account die in a month.

But my question was on all the referral hoops and what that is trying to achieve. Is it just to try to recover some of the 60 dollars that we paid for service for the dummy account that will otherwise be wasted?
The referral is mainly if you are going to use this phone for the purpose of unlocking. It helps offset the charges for 6 months.

Okay got it. I guess if everything worked perfectly I could still nab 25 bucks to my existing account if I immediately downgraded the new account to a 30 per month plan and it ran out 2 months? Or will I need to pay for that 3rd month another 30 to keep it alive for the referral credit to process in which case it isn't really worth it?

How long does this deal run? Wondering if I have time to wait to see if they have any deals for Cyber Monday or no?

Yes, you can downgrade and you'll get $25 after 60 day.

And can you merge in the dummy account to grab the 25 bucks credit in that account or do you have to wait until that referral posts there, and at that point the account would be unpaid and overdue and so merging it would cause issues?

edit, probably overthinking this to get another 25 bucks....life is too short....will just grab the 25 in existing account and let the other roll off

In your case, I think you basically want a cheap iPhone SE for your wife. I would just buy a number on eBay, go through the process of buying the se for $110 (you can do the $20 discount by leaving the cart page open for a few minutes and a banner should pop up). Once you get the phone, just put your wife's sim in the new SE.

In regards to the address stuff, this is for New customers only. So if you go through checkout using your information that cricket has for you already, it will more than likely not let your purchase go through. Which is why I said to change the address someway.

I hope I'm making sense

Raku was mentioned earlier that they give $5 back per line

Bing Rebates gave $10 back per line
Cricket Wireless 11/24/2020 Pending $20.00

Tried CapOne Shopping and they gave $30 back for entire order (not per line)
NOV 27 Cricket Pending $30.00

Now to wait and see if they actually pay out

Regarding your edit, yes. You are risking missing out on this deal trying to get that $25 credit

Okay thanks. I just haven't taken the time to read 190 fricken pages of comments. Usually I do my homework on SD but this was too much.

What is the 20 dollar banner thing sorry?

As for address I get that there is a risk but I would think if it allows me to check out then I would be good. I will try using her name which is different last name and her credit card. Worst case I could use father in law name and address not far away I guess but then I need to get him involved which is never worth the hassle (would need to use his credit card and I think he locks it to his wrist with a handcuff)

Sale might be over by Monday... or something better could pop up for Cyber Monday.
Promo date say goes until 1/7/21 so doubt it. Maybe might be a coupon for extra $ off. I want to start my 6 month unlock clock asap. lol.

Oh, btw, hint.
So 2 months ago,
I created account A, generated refer code for account B,
And then I went ahead to activated and signed up for account B. (Remember, refer code have to be generated before second account is activated)
I used my account A in daily and give account B's sim to my 6 year old.
2 months later, my account A earned $25 credit and account B also earned $25.
I called cricket the day my credit showed up in my account B and asked to combine both account.
The credit from my account B merged to account A, and I cancelled my account B.
So, my account currently have $50 credit.
