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?
You don't need to change the address. I have an existing account with 5 lines (grandfathered). I just make a new dummy account and order these, no problem.

Regarding the referral. Since you use cricket you should refer your new account from your active existing account. That will give you $25 back on your main account. The other $25 on the new account will never get used if you just let that account die after the 2months you've already paid for.

Yup.. Locked to Cricket. Or consider buying 2 and trading it in for an iPhone SE Unlocked from Apple? laugh out loud About the same cost after you factor in the services for 6 mo.
Just started reading and haven't gotten that far yet. Knew there was probably something else to it, just from the size of the thread...

Are Cricket referral codes linked to the email requested them? Or doesn't matter?

I lingered at the checkout screen for about 15 minutes and got an extra $20 off. A banner appeared that said something like 2020 was tough, but this will make you smile click here to apply the coupon'. Order was for 2 64 gb devices. Is called the 'Save 20' coupon.

Probably 80-90% that's buying it is using it as trade-in to Apple ($205, hassle free) or selling it ($250-$300 depending on your luck) to profit off this...
