Things To Know About Red Pocket Mobile Before You Subscribe
Red Pocket Mobile is a prepaid MVNO that was founded in 2006. The company has partnered with AT&T (GSMA), Sprint (CDMAS), T-Mobile (GSMT) and Verizon (CDMAV) to provide service and coverage to its customers. Their plans have traditionally focused on catering to those who have a need to call internationally and who speak other languages.
You don’t have to have international calling needs to subscribe to Red Pocket Mobile. Red Pocket’s phone plans are competitively priced, and can particularly be a great value to low usage customers.
Red Pocket Mobile also powers Black Wireless and Mango Mobile.
Customer Referral Program
Red Pocket offers a generous refer a friend program. Those who refer a friend earn up to a $25 account credit per each referral. The credit is awarded after the friend renews their plan for a second month.
A $25 account credit will be issued if the referral subscribes to a plan priced $30 or more. A $7.50 credit will be awarded if the referral subscribes to a plan priced under $30. A subscriber can earn a maximum of $500 per year in referrals.
Those subscribing to Red Pocket through a referral code/link will also receive up to $25 off their first month of service. A $25 discount will be awarded for subscribing to a plan above $30 and a $7.50 credit if the plan is less than $30.
Red Pocket’s Phone Plans Explained

Red Pocket Mobile’s phone plans are synonymous with variety. The company really offers something for everyone. There are monthly plans, annual plans, multi-month discount plans, family discount plans, data-only plans, and even global data-only plans. Some plans are sold exclusively through online retailers like eBay and Amazon.
A total of 7 monthly phone plans are sold directly through the Red Pocket website.
Customers can pick from the following options:
- $10/month – 500 minutes, 500 texts, 500MB hard-capped data, available on AT&T and Verizon only.
- $10/month – 1000 minutes, unlimited texts, 1GB hard-capped data
- $20/month – unlimited everything, but only the first 3GB of data is at high-speeds before throttling to 2G data speeds. Available on AT&T, Sprint, T-Mobile, and Verizon
- $30/month – unlimited everything with 10GB of data at high-speeds before throttling to 2G data speeds.
- $40/month – unlimited everything with 22GB of data at high-speeds before throttling to 2G data speeds. Available on AT&T and T-Mobile only
- $40/month – unlimited everything with 12GB of data at high-speeds before throttling to 2G data speeds. Available on Verizon
- $50/month – unlimited everything with 50GB of data at high-speeds before throttling to 2G data speeds.
Taxes and fees cost extra with each plan. There are no activation fees for single lines of service. Unless specifically stated otherwise, the plans are all available for use on the customer’s choice of either the AT&T, T-Mobile, or Verizon network. Sprint based plans are now only sold through the eBay store. 5G network access is only available on the AT&T and T-Mobile networks.
Family Plan Option
The $30 plan has a family plan option. Account holders can add up to 4 additional lines to their plan at a cost of $20/line. The multi-line discount is applied starting on the 2nd month of service. There is a $10 setup fee charged per line. No other Red Pocket plans offer group discounts.
eBay Exclusive Phone Plans
Red Pocket has several eBay exclusive plans and pricing on them does frequently change as they often go on sale. There are 3 main 360-day annual plans being offered through the outlet.
- $15/month – $180 due upfront, unlimited everything with first 3GB of data each month at high-speeds. Available on AT&T, Sprint, T-Mobile and Verizon
- $20/month – $240 due upfront, unlimited everything with first 8GB of data each month at high-speeds. Available on AT&T, Sprint, T-Mobile, and Verizon
- $30/month – $360 due upfront, unlimited everything with first 20GB of data each month at high-speeds. Available only on AT&T
The plans really are a great value for customers willing to pay for 360-days of service up front.
There are some other eBay exclusive annual plans available as well. But they are more geared towards low usage customers. Check them out below:
- $2.50/month – $30 due upfront, 200 minutes, 1,000 text messages, 200MB of data. Available on Sprint and T-Mobile
- $5/month – $60 due upfront, 100 minutes, 100 texts, 500MB data. Available on T-Mobile and AT&T only
- $8.25/month – $99 due upfront, 1,000 minutes, unlimited texts, 1GB data. Available on AT&T, Sprint, T-Mobile, and Verizon
The talk, text and data allotments shown are what subscribers can use every 30 days before they run out. Subscribers then must either top up or wait for the next 30 day cycle for the allotments to renew.
Add-on top-ups for the low usage plans are available with the following pricing:
- $2 – 100MB of additional data, 100 texts or 100 minutes
- $5 – 250MB of additional data, 250 minutes or 500 texts
If you need to add a top up to your plan, keep in mind it will not rollover for the next 30-day billing cycle. It must be used up during the billing cycle that you add it to your plan or it will be forfeited in the next month.
What Plan Features Are Supported By Red Pocket Mobile
Red Pocket Mobile works on all the major networks in the USA, however, the same plan may have different features available to it depending on what network it’s being used with.
- International text messaging – available on AT&T, T-Mobile and Sprint networks at no extra charge but costs $0.20 per text if your Red Pocket Mobile plan is used on Verizon’s network
- International calling – available on all networks
- Hotspot/Tethering – Available on all networks, but only iPhones have access on Verizon’s network. Subscribers may need to ask Red Pocket to enable hotspot on their lines for them
- WiFi calling – available on AT&T, Sprint and T-Mobile. Not available on Verizon. If you have a plan with a limited number of minutes and are using AT&T, WiFi calling does not deduct from your plan minutes.
- HD Voice/VoLTE calling – available on all networks
Unfortunately there is no app available to manage accounts. Customers must login through a browser to keep tabs on their account.
Data Only Plans

Red Pocket does offer 3-data only plans for use on AT&T’s network. Pricing starts at just at $10/month for a data only plan with 1GB of data. You can scroll further down below for the full list of available plan options.
Refund And Cancellation Policy
Only the eBay exclusive plans come with a very limited satisfaction guarantee. You can get a full refund for your eBay plan purchase as long as it is requested within 30-days of receiving your SIM starter kit and you have used less than 30 minutes, 30 text messages and 30 MB of data. For all other plans, no refunds will be issued if you are unhappy with service.
If you purchase a phone from Red Pocket and are unhappy with it you have within 7-days of receiving it to return it. You are responsible for return shipping charges. Customers must also pay for their own return label and a 20% restocking fee. A $25.00 handling fee will also be debited from the final return amount. Be forewarned, Red Pocket claims that a refund will not be issued if the device has been used.
Review
I took a test run of Red Pocket Mobile by subscribing to one of the company’s CDMAV (Verizon based) plans for over two months. If you are not sure if Red Pocket Mobile is for you, perhaps this review can help.

How To Port Out Of Red Pocket Mobile
Porting out requires you to know your account number and pin number. For CDMAV plans, your account number is your phone number. Your PIN number is the last 4 digits of your phone number. The account number that you see in your account dashboard cannot be used for porting out. It is likely that your account number and PIN number works the same for Red Pocket Mobile's other network plans.
