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

am still holding on to my brand new SE, hoping there will be other enhanced value trade in deals (with no credit check) like Google store or Fi, Xfinity Mobile or even Sprint. hoping to get maybe $330....on that deal? once this year is over and no deals, i think i'd just trade it in to Best Buy, Apple or Trademore. please tell me i am not crazy!
Not crazy at all. I'll probably hold onto one or two if I can't get rid of them at a decent price. Or maybe buy a few more... if the $20 coupon ever comes back lol

I know GoogleFi was quoting over $300 for iPhone 7 trade-ins last month, but $330 seems... ambitious for the iPhone SE?

That'd be 82.5% of original retail price on a non-flagship phone.

(I'm also trying to decide whether to hold one in reserve for trade-in deals.)

Or use rsim, but that's not a permanent unlock and think it only works with gsm carriers.

Options:
1) stay with circket for 6 mo; find some referrals - downside, you're stuck with cricket for 6 mo
2) pay the $40-$80 fee for unlock service and use with the carrier you want
3) use rsim to use with gsm carriers, but the phone is still locked to cricket.

I'm holding on to two of these just to see what comes up. I only have $65 + tax into each phone (I had two $25 offers on two different Chase cards). So I'm not too worried if the value drops a bit in the meantime
yeah, actually i got 2 also, in the hole for $178 for 2 phones includes the 1st month plan, downgraded it already to the $30 plan. plus RK10cb of $40 i think.

BTW, Visible has new promos starting today. Pixel 4a for $336 with $100 MC and ($175 retail) Beats Solo Pro wireless headphones . may go for a couple of these deal.
