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

I tried yesterday here in Northern nj and the worker said no trades.
Also in NJ and none of the store is allowing anything besides order pick up and devices issues with Genius Bar. I ordered Phobio kit but that may take a while.

this is true for most people who are porting their existing numbers to cricket
for some who may be buying numbers to port , those numbers are only good for 5 or 7 or 10 days after they are generated. I have yet to know a seller who guarantees a number that will be OK fir activation for 30 days after I buy them
Order ships after cricket confirms port so I guess it should be good beyond 7 days and eBay seller have no reference here

Right. I purchased a 12 pro for pick up yesterday to combine this deal along with the $150 master card deal with T-Mobile. I told the employee if I could trade in an SE, he said for my safety and his safety and the staffs safety, No trade ins. To do it all online.

Dropped off my last 2 of 6 iPhones at FedEx for Phobio trade in. The first 2 have been sitting there since Monday but no movement on the tracker.

Anyone seeing any action on their Phobio status?

Sitting there as in the fedex location where you dropped them off? Or they reached the phobio destination? I'm still waiting for my boxes to arrive. One should have been here today but it has been delayed.

One last question, did you turn on the SE's and activated the cricket sims ?

Thanks

My closest Apple store is in-store pickup, but a few others about twice the distance (30-35 miles) away have in-store shopping and pickup.

Not sure what's going on with that one person and his one iPhone being rejected at the store. This past Saturday I did 7 of them for trade in. I activated them all with the cricket sim just to satisfy the cricket requirements. The Apple person scanned something on the phone maybe serial? All were good to go. I got two more today and will do the same but will mail in to phobio. Are people saying now not to activate the phones?

#2 - I don't believe the $5 Auto Pay savings applies to the $30 plan. The link at Cricket says [cricketwireless.com]:

"*$5/mo Auto Pay credit only available on qualifying Cricket plans (starting at $40/mo). Credit not available with Group Save discounts or select promotional offers. View Auto Pay FAQs"

The first two arrived at Phobio Saturday but weren't able to be delivered since they were closed. FedEx shows them delivered Monday but Phobio still doesn't have them checked in let alone inspected.

I activated the sims in an old unlocked iPhones. Opened the new ones just to charge and ship. They only want the phone.
