If youre going to do ATT just get the ATT prepaid 8gb/yr plan. It costs $254/yr after target 10% off on refill and 5% disc with redcard. You wont get deprioritized to the least. My latency was through the roof with redpocket in bay area so any google assistant query wasnt immediate which is so annoying
Just a warning to all, STAY AWAY FROM REDPOCKET. They are con artists who promise unlimited talk and text but will suspend you over 1500-2000 minutes of usage and sometimes tech support will re-activate you and mostly they will tell you to buy add on minutes to continue using. No term were broken (they audited my account and admitted as much, but they said there is no limit but to protect their network they cannot give you too many minutes) so in fact their unlimited = Limited. I had paypal get involved in all three of our lines and won all the cases. They played dirty like responding to the case the last second.

You may think that 1500-2000 minutes is enough for you. But think, what if you have a loved one in a hospital meaning more usage and no one can reach you. They don't send any warning texts they just cut you off in middle of a conversation. I hope one day thee FCC sues them and screw them for millions like they did to tracfone a few years ago.

Redpocket = Scampocket

how is the porting of number from verizon? prospective first time red pocket user here, any help is appreciated.
I just did it for a family member. It took a day, no problems. Only "problem" is you can't go from verizon to red pocket verizon directly. You have to port to ATT or sprint or t mobile at redpocket first, then port to verizon.

It's a contract thing that they aren't allowed to directly take current verizon customers. So it took an extra day, but on the long run worth it. I've been with redpocket since ring+ went out of business a few years back.

What about Spectrum Mobile Verizon to Red Pocket Verizon?
Is MVNO Verizon to Red Pocket Verizon allowed or still need to involve a third carrier?

The Red Pocket rep here told me that I can move from Ultra Mobile (T-Mobile) to Red Pocket (T-Mobile).

I ported from Verizon to Red Pocket a couple of months ago. It only took about a half hour. I don't think I had to port to ATT or sprint or T-Mobile first (unless CS was doing it and I wasn't aware). The only problem I had was that my phone is a Pixel 3a and I couldn't call out or send/receive messages until I put the Red Pocket SIM in another phone and dialed out. Then I moved the SIM back to my Pixel and then everything worked.

Can someone from red pocket please comment on this under their terms and conditions.

"III. INTENDED USAGE & RESTRICTIONS ON USE
You agree that Red Pocket Mobile plans are to be used for voice and SMS messaging only between two individuals."

There are several other places after this it appears group SMS is not allowed. My kids use a lot of group SMS for school and I read several comments here that SMS was turned off if using group SMS

So is "group SMS" and 3-way calling which have always been pretty standard in any plan allowed on Red Pocket or NOT?

Why is the company being so ambiguous and arbitrary about that. I want to switch my whole family but these CYA T&C leave lingering doubts.

Legally if you even send one group SMS or do a 3 way call they could cancel your contract and not give a refund

Mind blown.. Can't even get the new sim card to activated when it says activated on the website.

I have 6 Apple iPhone Factory unlock from iphone 7 to SE 2020. They keep telling me I need a new phone to complete the activation which I do. Put it into a phone that is CDMA compatible and never used the red pocket service before.
Call failed, no data, same problem as last weekend. Phone works with verizon, att, mint, which are still active and working but once you put in a RP sim card, it does not work.

Most people do not even have 6 iphones to swap sims with to test.

The 20GB plan is on sale for $289.99 for Cyber Monday. Better deal than last week with ebay bucks and probably the cheapest it will be for a while.

just now received the SIM and activated it. How long does it take to port number from ATT to RedPocket? The help says few minutes to hours. Trying to chat with online rep and waiting is switching between 10 mins to 17 mins for the past 10 mins. So its gonna be a long wait.

Any information and help is appreciated.

It took me a bit to get my first port to RP worked out on an iPhone. I had to download and install a profile on the phone which is hosted on their website

Anyone who was worried about using a fake address - it doesnt even matter - I just my thing in the mail from them, its just a flyer that says "congratulations on renewing your mobile plan" - it doesnt even have the code on it, the code comes from the email they send you alone

Got Red Pocket mobile annual plan and tried to port Verizon number using old iPhone 6s unknown to Verizon network - didn't work.
I've read that porting to GSMA or another provider/number barn first and then port to CDMAV is way to go.
Originally I was planning to go through this hassle, but now - I think I'll just pick Mint Mobile for the next year.
It would be nice to use Verizon network in Colorado wilderness, but I go there not so often. So I'll give a try to T-Mobile network for next year.
