Great option for a cheap location tracking SIM. I often have to park my car in unsafe & high crime locations. My car has been towed twice (illegally!) while it was legally parked on city streets (shady tow company!), and several car thefts are reported in these areas every month. I have an old iPhone SE that I hook to a USB battery pack and put both in the trunk under the spare tire cover. I can open Find my IPhone on my main phone and see that my car is still where I left it, or where it has gone if stolen or towed. Runs about 10 days on the external battery pack, and uses minimal data. This type of SIM is perfect.
I have this plan. Here are the add-on costs:

$10.00 - 1000 Minutes Top Up
$2.00 - 100 Minutes Top Up
$5.00 - 250 Minutes Top Up
$10.00 - International Add On Credits

$5.00 - 250 Messages Top Up
$2.00 - 100 Messages Top Up

$10.00 - 1 GB Data Top Up
$15.00 - 2 GB Data Top Up
$2.00 - 100 MB Data Top Up
$5.00 - 250 MB Data Top Up
Any phone is an emergency phone, they all dial 911.

Exactly...been waiting patiently for the same...I have until the end of the month then one way or the other, I gotta make a decsion.
Ditto here. Trying to get away from Straight Talk. Their only option for 1 yr plan is $455 and that's not worth. RP is still cheaper at $360, but would be thrilled to find it for less.

I don't understand...is this unlimited 2g data after the 200mb are used up? Im looking for something with a lot of slow data to discourage my son from wasting time watching YouTube when in school or road trips, but still be usable for device tracking, simple searching, etc

add him to your google family as someone under 13 then you can limit the app usage time they are allowed on their device and lock other things down as well

You can get this same price from pageplus... you pay $10 for 4 months but instead of a set amount of minutes, texts, and date they charge from the $20 you paid 6 cents per minute, 6 cents per text, and 5 cents per mb. While you do get more minutes and texts in total from the redpocket deal, from pageplus you do not have to commit to a full year and you also get service from the better verizon network. The price will be the same at $30 for a full year.

I've had lots of problems with RP.

First, it's not unlimited texts. One teenager child had a text group of 12 people and was planning a school activity. RP blocked her texts from being received/sent. I had to chat with support for over an hour about her "excessive" texting and how she was abusing the system. This is very shady... they won't tell what/how many texts trigger this lock down, but it wasn't that much considering texts sent to a group is number of texts X number of people in a text group.

Second, it uses more like sucks your data significantly with MMS messages. So, if your kid(s) like to send pictures, memes, or text in groups it will be a MMS and lots of data will be used. There is no backup 2G... once the data is gone, it's gone and your messages will not be sent and you will not receive any until you pay for more. This is very concerning as a parent, when you expect a response from your child and then there is none. There is no notification, no way to tell except logging into you RP account to see, and I get a call monthly from a kid complaining that texts are not being sent. I have since had to monitor the data and buy extra. Pro tip: Be sure to enable data saving mode on the phone. There are alot of apps (ie. Tiktok) that will siphon data while off wifi and blow through your data.

FWIW, I'm switching to Mint Mobile to see if it is better. I think for wifi calling and texting it will help with data management for sure. Where I live I have been waiting for better service by T-mobile out here. Verizon was the only reliable service for awhile and RP offered MVNO service on their towers.

Note: This deal is great for those using Sprint, TMobile towers. If you have a sim that's set up for Verizon, this deal will not work for you. I'm currently on RP and tried to use this option but no dice because of the above.

Hi there!

This specific plan has a cap of 200MB but some of our others offer unlimited data at slower speeds.

This is the type of service I imagine a hitman or dealer using, someone who just needs to make a phone call or too and then destroy the phone alone with the evidence. Good deal if that's your line of work.

I love Mint just as much as the next man but you're not get 20GB for 180. I do believe unlimited comes for $360, though...

Though I don't intend to use a lot many texts, but someone in this thread complained about blocking due to excessive texts. I don't understand how that will apply here as it has 1000 text limit/30 days. Am I right or you trigger excessive texts at a thresh hold below 1000?
