Red Pocket Mobile has dropped the price of its annual eBay plan that includes unlimited talk, text and data with the first 5GB at 4G LTE data speeds to just $220/year. Normally the plan retails for $240/year. With the savings in place, subscribers will pay an average cost of just $18.33/month.
Perhaps the best part about the plan is that it works on both AT&T and Sprint. That means if you have an AT&T or Sprint compatible phone you can use your favorite network for a whole lot cheaper than you can almost anywhere else.
How Red Pocket's Plan Compares To The Competition
Red Pocket Mobile's annual eBay plan is certainly a bargain. The only other place that you can get a cheaper plan on the AT&T network is through FreedomPop. FreedomPop also has a 5GB annual plan, however it is priced at just $14.99/month. Although it is cheaper, the FreedomPop plan does come with a few drawbacks. For instance, it is VoIP based, while Red Pocket Mobile's plan is not. Red Pocket Mobile uses traditional cellular networks to provide voice. FreedomPop's plan does not include MMS or voicemail, they are add-on features that cost a little extra. Red Pocket Mobile includes those features at no extra charge.
I don't know how long the price drop will last or if it is permanent or not. Those interested in the plan should act fast if they want to ensure themselves of some savings.

Has anyone done recent speed tests using ATT on Red Pocket?
A year is a long term to commit without knowing if the speeds are good.
I have not seen anything anywhere about speeds being slowed. I agree a year is a long term to commit to any wireless plan. Unfortunately they have the tiniest of guarantees “If you are not satisfied with your service and it is within 30 days of receiving your starter kit, we will refund your purchase in full. However, if you have consumed more than 30 minutes, 30 texts, or 30MB of data, it will be considered buyer’s remorse and a refund will not be available.” You can always try a one month plan first to see how that goes before moving to a bigger commitment.

Is hotspot included for free?
No, at least not officially. I got it to work on their Verizon plan. Without it being officially supported, long term, I would not trust it to be available.
is it T mobile network or ATT Network ?
My understanding ….. AT&T not T-Mobile
