SimpleMobile | iPhone SE (2020) 64GB + 30 day 3GB Plan - $157.49 AC

I went to finally grab one for may parents after finally talking them into the monthly fees. This looks like it's dead, all colors OOS.

Apparently iPhone SE 2020 was excluded from the list in both simple and total wireless

Yeah deal is dead now. I see they added it to the exclusion list at the bottom of an email from today.

The lowest I can get the phone + plan down to now is $194.99 so definitely dead compared to the previous price. SM did some tweaking with their codes as the ones that used to take $50 off now only show up as $30.

The email code still successfully applies to my cart with the iPhone SE but even with 4 different promo codes, the price won't go lower than $194.99.

That being said, the same CB site I used is still offering 18% on purchases up to $200 and $10 bonus for new sign up as of now.

That means you'd get $45.09 total back in 30 days to your Venmo/PayPal/bank once the return window ends so your net price would be ~$150 plus tax after cb and discount codes.

Not as good as the previous $122 obviously but still not terrible if you really need the phone and don't mind waiting 30 days for the cb.

Even though could use one I don't need it that's why I was hesitant but I should have bought it anyway then decided later. I doubt it will be that cheap again without a port in etc.

Thanks to DanoshechkaB and Cozypanda007 for the inspiration. Please rep them if this helped you.

So IOS 14.3 and RSIM (12, 14, or 15) works really well together. So well that RSIM soft unlocks the iphone (verified through Settings --> General --> About --> Carrier Lock: No SIM restrictions). RSIM can be removed after the soft unlock and you can freely change the SIM / carrier as well.

Do not abuse this. This is not for you to make an easy buck selling a soft unlocked phone to an unsuspecting buyer. This is for personal use only.

What you need:
1) Update IOS to 14.3. I tested RSIM 12 and 14 in IOS 13.7 and 14.2, all failures. IOS 14.3 worked immediately.
2) RSIM 12, 14, or 15. I got it working with my old RSIM 12 and 14, others used RSIM 15. Buy whichever off of ebay.
3) Original carrier SIM to program the RSIM
4) New carrier SIM for your own use

Which iphones will it unlock
1) Tested on Iphone SE (2020), Iphone SE (original), Iphone 7
2) May work on other Iphone models that are on IOS 14.3 since this is a software glitch

Programming the RSIM 12, 14, or 15
1) As long as the ICCID is active, you only need to program the RSIM once. So for example, if you have 2 locked iphones, you can program the RSIM once and reuse it to unlock both iphones. Once the ICCID expires, you will have to repeat this step to program a new ICCID.
2) Get your active ICCID from https://beta.unlockcode.mobi/iccid/
3) Insert the RSIM with the original carrier SIM into an Iphone
4) Navigate to Settings --> Cellular --> SIM Applications --> Edit ICCID
5) Input the active ICCID, for example, 89014104279605338375
6) Save and ignore the success prompt, no need to reboot.
7) Your RSIM is now programmed with the active ICCID
8) Eject the RSIM and original carrier SIM

Soft Unlocking the Iphone
1) Make sure your Iphone is updated to IOS 14.3
2) Insert the RSIM with the new carrier's SIM into the locked Iphone
3) Iphone will immediately ask you to activate the phone. If it gives an error or nothing happens, you probably inserted the RSIM and SIM incorrectly.
4) Activate, wait a minute, and the phone will be soft unlocked.
5) You should have network service through your new carrier
6) Verify through Settings --> General --> About --> Carrier Lock
7) Optional: You can remove the RSIM now, it's no longer needed.
8) Optional: You can try other carriers SIM as well, they should all work, including the original carrier

Best Practices
1) Do not factory reset. Factory reset will lock the phone again.
2) Turn off Automatic Updates (Settings --> General --> Software Update --> Automatic Updates). Future updates may lock the phone. Best to wait until it's been tested by someone else before updating.

Do not abuse this. This is not for you to make an easy buck selling a soft unlocked phone to an unsuspecting buyer. This is for personal use only.

Awesome! This works perfectly. I had my se unlocked!!!! Also tried esim, T-Mobile one, did not make it work although everything looked okay, esim setup correctly, there was signal . Everything looked fine, but just no data, cannot call. Any suggestions? TIA

Try these instructions from T-mobile and let us know if it works.

My T mobile esim is working. I guess because I restarted my phone first. Wow, cannot believe rsim does so well. This iphone will be on 14.3 for a while. Thanks for the reminder.

iOS 14.4 works with rsim. I upgraded and it still works.
