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.

Should we activate online, and NOT put in the SIM?
Or Activate online, put in SIM and do a few test calls/texts?
Thanks all
EDIT: i see previous page that people were OK to do either. I'm going to be mailing them in, so I will activate and put in SIM just to be safe

Can someone tell me how long do I have to wait to reuse a sprint sim on Tello?
Anyone else have a similar issue?
I drove back to the Apple store, about 20 minutes, and explained the whole issue with the Apple rep. They went to the back storage and brought back all the iPhones and cross-referenced the serial #s to the receipts. We were able to get it all sorted out, they took back the iPhone that had the error message, and pull out the "untraded" one from one of the baggies that was misplaced and was able to process the last $205 gift card for me.
Finally I asked them to combine all 4 gift cards , so they combined the $615 + the $205 corrected trade-in, and I walked out with the $820 gift card. I asked them to scan the gift card to double check to make sure it is the correct gift card, since there were like 4 gift cards floating around on the table.
To everyone's point, you do not need to worry if you activated your Cricket SIM card with the iPhone. It looks like mine was a one-off situation because the rep mixed up my trade-in devices. ugh... but glad everything was resolved in the end. They told me they actually ship out the trade-in phones to be recycled at the end of the day so it was good that I went back to the Apple store today.
Also if you are going to trade in >1 or 2 iPhones for trade in, I recommend handing it to them 1 at a time to avoid any issues with getting the phones mixed up!
