I've had CDMA verizon redpocket for almost 2 years, I'd say it's about the same as other verizon mnvo's, all of them seem to have occasional weird coverage issues that I don't think you'd get with verizon proper, but the cost savings are worth it. The only problems are:
1. visual voicemail stops working every few months, you have to call redpocket, they fix it in a 15 minute call, say this shouldn't happen again, and then it only works for another few months.
2. NO TETHERING on current phones! I had a moto x4 up until a few months ago and tethering worked fine. I just switched to a pixel 3a and found out that officially tethering IS NOT ALLOWED and it was just a bug with older phones that allowed it to.

Now I'm looking for a new provider when my year is up in a few months, I'll probably have to go with verizon prepaid.

att gsma redpocket does support tethering but you don't get visual voicemail for free. I took two phones on vacation to some national parks, att redpocket and verizon redpocket. the att usually reported the same signal or one bar higher, however in terms of actual data usability it was about the same, I saw somewhere that maybe att's thresholds for the bar levels are a little lower. But when it really mattered I was able to get just enough intermittent signal from verizon to get an email out whereas att was useless.

Also, att tethering apparently blocks all ports other than standard web traffic, so I had problems with some of my work apps that were fine with verizon.
Only for the few lucky ones who're eligible for this bucks promotion.
For those on or wanting the 20GB plan - which is regularly $336/year via their eBay store - was priced at $300 in late October 2020. I bought that on October 14th to be specific - more than a month before Black Friday.

Also, Red Pocket eBay plans can be applied up to 90 days after purchase... or at least that was the arrangement last year. My October 14 purchase was held and was applied on December 9th.... which from my perspective means I'm already within 90 days of my own renewal so my eyes are open for the next deal on the 20GB plan.

Last - tethering. I can't help anybody tied to or preferring the Verizon network. All I know is it's worked consistently on AT&T for years on every one of my phones.

If you're renewing, they just email you the code. If you're new and need a SIM, they will snail mail the SIM, but I believe they still email the code to you.

After you purchase how many days do you have before you need to activate?
Quote from Red-PocketD :
You'll have 90 days to activate the plan.
Bingo! I just spoke with RP Tech Support who confirmed 90 days.

Important to note - on day 91, the redemption will expire with no chance of a refund.

I'm currently on the 8gb plan with them and due for a refill in March 2021 so will wait a bit to purchase my renewal.

My wife is on the basic $60 plan and has been for a few years but now she wants unlimited data. Might get the 3gb plan for the unlimited data. $168 isn't a bad price but little problems here and there with their CDMA service makes me wonder if we should switch over to Visible wireless since it's directly owned by Verizon.

My current plan isn't done until early December. Can I buy renewal one and add it one and it'll extend 1 year from then? Or is it just a year from now?

The question that you should be asking yourself is - would you be fine with the service de-prioritization from time to time for the $ you save?

My service get de-prioritized always. Just waiting for the 1 year to complete so that I can switch to better provider. Anyone has any recommendation? My zip is 30024.

It's a bad idea. If you add renewal plan today they automatically terminate your current plan and start new one.
So you going to loose about 3 month of service you already payed for.
All you need to do now it's buy renewal one. And keep activation number not longer then 89 days (so you have to apply it before 12/12/2021)
Open https://www.redpocket.com/my-lines and take a look on "Renewal Date" column
Apply new plan at morning of that day

I have 2 lines on GSMA and both allow tethering.(moto x4 and pixel 4a5g) My voicemail never works, i re record a greeting and it maybe works a day and then callers just get a ring forever. Everything has been good, 3rd year with both lines.

Even if it's the same exact plan? I read somewhere on Reddit that they changed it to extending the current one, but not 100% sure.

They explicitly say tethering is included...

Can anyone else weigh in on tethering experience?
I think this maybe similar to the problem I had with US Mobile's Verizon. The problem the representative said was with pixel phones alone (like that poster had) and only on their Verizon network. He eventually resolved it for me, after 3 other reps failed.

In my case, RP first says that the renewal date is 10/01, then that the plan renews on 10/31.
When exactly am I supposed to use the PIN to renew without wasting anything?
