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.

Did you just take the phones out of their package/box and traded them in? Not even turn on or anything?
lol no. I activated them at home, made sure they had a little charge and took the phones in. Don't take the new box with you. That'll raise suspicion

My order from last Friday said shipped, but the tracking doesn't show anything. My order from Saturday actually shipped and arrived on Sunday.
Quote from NikAnon :
My order says shipped, but UPS tracking says package not received. Anyone had the same issue? I have only one phone from cricket.
Similar situation. This past Saturday's order showed up as shipped on Sunday. Still no update from UPS today. Hopefully it will show up in tracking overnight.

I went back and looked at the transactions I did last year around this time. Looks like ~3 days from receiving to payment started and another 2 days until the GC arrived via email. It's not a real quick process. Problem this year is still waiting for 4 of the boxes to even ship from Friday trade requests.
So about 5 business days, I guess not great not terrible

Yup. That's what I did. Just showed up and there was no line. Got in right away
Thanks for the tip, I'll definitely do that. There was another poster on here that said appointments were required but good to hear you had a different experience.

First phone already shipped. This second order canceled this morning from yesterday.


Based on what? These values are most likely set via contract with Apple.
thank you for that data point

Also can anyone help me here on how to maximize referral $
I ordered and have 1 phone, coming tomorrow
yesterday my sister ordered 2. She does not mind me setting them up. And another SDer who I helped, has kindly offered to use my referral code. So total 3-4 phones of pending activations
I plan to keep mine active hopefully via referral credits to unlock date
- what is the best way for me to get max referral credit when hers arrive ?
- are referrals limited to certain number ?
- can referral code be generated from the website [ or is it an app exclusive ?]
- once I generate the code, other than end user entering it upon activation, is there anything else to be done ?
- with data above, can I take my lone SE to 180 days to unlock ?

Update: I traded in 4 phones just now. Had no problems. Got 4 gift cards! I guess it all depends on the store. The rep was super nice and process took less than 5 min.
I have 4 lines in t-mobile. I want to move to cricket, Should i create one account or 4 accounts to take advantage of $100 for 4 lines. Could you please provide details how to transfer 4 lines to cricket?

Quote from gunthonungo :
he responded to me just fine on saturday... i think he does this stuff after work so it might take a little bit to get a reply
Quote from theplayer :
has ebay seller sdcomputers responded to anyone lately?
Quote from Squams007 :
responded to me, and gave me a new number since first one failed. but both failed. calling it a loss at this point- not asking for a third number
the above highlight my issues with eBay
which is why I have a "numbers guy" or sorts, very responsive and fast
have been buying numbers from him for a while, response time if 3-30 mins and more importantly his numbers have never failed for ports !


Quote from ampt :
Phobio trade in shows Varizon 256GB version, will it create any issue? as theses are 64GB version and cricket. I am trying to contact Phobio support but no luck over phone.
yes, many ppl have gotten this, general consensus is that it is just a placeholder
we'll know for sure when early users of this deal like Slickwheelin report back

Quote from anbarasu :
Can any one please let me know how soon we have to activate the service after receiving the device?
as soon as you have the phone on, and are able to navigate to cricket wireless website

Has anyone try to trade in online with Apple/Phobio? I requested 2 days back and haven't seen any update after that. I confirmed the trade in email which Phobio sent

šŸ¤”šŸ¤” Not what we were talking about in this thread. But porting should be a simple process. Just chat with a rep on cricket website and they should be able to guide you.

Quote from slickwheelin :
Has anyone who went the phobio route received their Apple GC yet? I had 4 that I dropped off on Friday they are still waiting to be picked up from a Walgreens Fedex drop off location.

I was curious on the typical turn around once it delivers to a phobio location.
My first 2 shipped last Wednesday at the end of the day on a holiday weekend we're delivered at 3:40 PM today so maybe by Friday. My other 2 are on the way and I am still waiting on boxes for my last 2.

As long as the device meets the inspection which it should since it is brand new and the 256GB is just a placeholder then is the $205 locked in or could the price drop because they are getting flooded with SEs?

I requested mine 5 days ago, and it's still "pending."

To get the phone unlocked after 6 month with cricket, do I need to keep the original sim came with the order in the same phone? Or I can put that sim into another phone?

Thanks for the help!
