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.
I bought 2 already. total cost $196 for 2 phones. trade in value of SE at apple is $210

Quote from Ignitite :
His number are a littel off but essentially. If you buy 2 phones from cricket for $180ish total, then trade them into apple to buy the unlocked iPhone SE with the gift cards from trade in. Both phones would net you a trade in of $415-420 and the unlocked se is $399. So you would end up paying $180 ish for a brand new unlocked Se
Can you help me, how come two phones will cost 180? (60 for line and 50 for phone) x 2 = 220?

2 phones ordered at $50 each plus $60 first line + $30 second line - $20 stay on page credit = $170 plus taxes, rough estimate....HTH

If you buy 2 phones in one order you get a multi line discount of $30.

that doesn't work anymore

have you tried it recently and was successful?
Quote from Retalaznstyle :
why not just buy unlocking service for $30 on ebay and call it a day?
the experts are right
most of those listings ask that the number must be active on cricket for >180 days
at which you should not have to pay anything anyway to unlock

Can anyone break down for me how to do this deal? I'm sifting through 200+ pages and it's not getting any easier to figure out, lol.

As far as I can tell it's something like this?
Purchase iphone se for 49.99, once I receive phone, downgrade 60/mo plan down to 30/mo plan within 1st day, port a fake number from ebay (unknown cost), some kind of 60 dollar bonus which negates 2 months of service, so it'll end up being 49.99 + 4 months of service @ 30/mo, so roughly 170+tax for an iphone se?

I ordered two of these last week and got an email from CW that there is an issue with porting. I clicked that link and entered my account # from the porting line. All went fine. I got my phones and today I tried to activate them unsuccessfully. I chatted with CW and they are telling me the porting number is inactive and I need to make it active again by calling my old carrier. Now I bought these numbers from ebay for boost and I am pretty sure they were active when I purchased these phones.
What is the best way to deal with this situation? I don't want to lose this deal OR have to pay full price if I can't port my number.

Appe trade in screen showing as iPhone SE 256GB Verizon ? If we send cricket 32GB phone then will they accept it and honor the trade in value?

Initially. It could still fail if the referrer cancels before the 60 days are up.
