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.

1. Once we unlock with RSIM then will it work the international SIM (Outside of US)
2. I used 2 rat10 accounts to place order, is it okay to use same PayPal account or address to get the CB.
edit: Thread does not appear to be under manual review
You still paid well below market value for a new iphone SE, so you came out ahead in the end.
You also took initiative in real life when everyone else (including myself) was too lazy to visit a Cricket store. Taking initiative is a rare and valuable skill to have.
As for what to do - sell the phone locally on offerup or facebook marketplace (as a previous poster suggested). Or keep the phone and use it as a Wifi-enabled camera/video camera.
I make videos for a living and without totally giving away the secret sauce...let's just say you can get creative enough with an iphone to record, edit & market professional videos. Either for youtube or local businesses. You'll eventually earn back your original investment x1000.
Edit: Here's something else to note. I would contact cricket CS and give them hell about your local store charging a $30 tax based on the full retail price of the iPhone SE. You were charged a $30 tax on a $49 sales price. I can almost guarantee you can have this charge removed by raising hell. I'm not even sure if what your local cricket store did was legal.

I have 2 other phones that I need to decide whether to trade for $180 (Apple GC) or $200 (BB GC) or keep them on Cricket for the 6 months to unlock.
If everything goes as planned, it would cost me ~$65 for each phone to complete the 6 months of service to unlock. I'd be giving up $180 or $200 in the interim to do that. But an unlocked phone should bring more $ down the road.
Decisions, decisions.

Really, makes sense. That's why these phones are suddenly going at rock bottom price. Just like how they got rid of iphone 7, iphone 8 earlier in 2020
If you get it, after you pop in the RSIM with your carrier sim, a menu of 4 or 5 items shows; I picked the option "ICCID ... Perfectly" (can't remember all the words) and entered the ICCID below.
I used the first ICCID here: https://beta.unlockcode
I ordered one (not from this seller) and am still waiting for it. The seller showed they were in Walton, KY (and I even messaged them to confirm this is where it would ship from so I could get it quickly) but they've since changed their profile to show they're a seller in China so it's going to be weeks or months before it comes :'(
