The fine print says: "*Our service will work with nearly any unlocked, GSM or CDMA device as long as your wireless contract has ended and your account is in good standing with your previous carrier....... If you are an existing Red Pocket customer or using a Sprint or other non-LTE CDMA device, you do not need to use the Starter Kit SIM cards...."
So based on their description this should work, but why does the item description say, "360 Day eBay Exclusive Plan (GSMT)"????
I'm still confused!

Now as for the $30 1yr plan, you should buy the new GSMT plan, which they will mail you a sim card to use on your new or compatible GSM phone. They will also email you the activation code first. After you receive both the sim card and activation code, you can go online to chat with an RP agent, and tell them you want to switch your current plan to this new $30 1 yr plan. You'll need to provide your account info to confirm your identity. Then just give them the sim card number and activation code. The transfer process should be done within 10~15mins. Then you can use the new sim card on your new phone.
But I suggest you wait until almost the end of your current plan to do this. Because once you transfer over to this new plan, you'll lose any remaining balance/time of your current plan. And the new activation code that you buy from ebay is only good for 60 days (or maybe only 30, I don't remember for sure). So you must use it within that period.

Used to be OK-ish for the $60 yr plan for low use and practically no data. Any more and you will live to regret it.
'Oh what a deal' soon turns sour real fast; once you have any kind of a problem. And now they are causing many problems to have to call them. The help is a hit and miss nightmare. You have to call an average of two, insane answer machine, LONG hold times and longer as they put you on hold. Why because there systems are SLOW. It's a minimum of 35 minutes to hours to get any one thing done.
RP DOES NOT carry themselves well. You CAN NOT depend on what they tell you. On your first call it's one thing. The next call it's another reason and the third yet another reason why things are not working. Clueless reps. Unprofessional. Poor English. and/or poor connection.
What goes wrong. Failure to transition month to month. Failure to fall over to the LIMITED "Unlimited" SLOW speed that's on some plans. Plus they are known for cutting off customers on the insanely slow speed altogether. Whereas other providers promise they will never cut you off. With Red Pocket you will be lucky if it works with your high speed data.
We have had many phones with RP including GSM and CDMAV and they are both failing reliability.
Frankly RP must be being bought out and don't care anymore. BEware.
TF is worse.
RP bay annual plan cuts off each month, and have to ask the CS to reconnect. Pain in the neck.
Imagine waiting for an important call, text or email/data and doesn't connect. Only to find your annual service is cut off till CS reconnects you.
