What games? They're a business who are trying to keep their customers.

Ppl on Slickdeals are the ones trying to buy their discounted phones so they can trade it in for $1000 on AT&T

They're not here to make you money, so they're just protecting themselves

Your iPhone 14 Pro hasn't been used for a year yet. Did you not know this? Maybe you're the problem. You're the one trying to play games.

Can I do the 3 months for $20 to get the rebate and then switch to an annual eBay plan and still qualify for the unlock after 12 mo? I read their unlock policy and they don't address this specifically but it seems it should work. Anyone have any experience with this scenario?

Also, if anyone has a referral code, DM me as I'm seriously considering signing up.
No. The ebay annual plan is a "BYOP type plan". Why don't one just buy an annual plan from the RedPocket website instead after the 3 months (rebate card)? RedPocket offers $5, $15, $20 and $30 per month plans on their website with their annual plans. The website monthly or annual service plan shouldn't make any difference.

So essentially 160 after 3 months and rebate for the new gen SE locked to carrier? It is not a bad ipod alternative or trade in or r sim candidate. Any good CB options?

What are RP's monthly taxes/fees? Some providers are higher than others.

I may not mind staying with RP for 12 months with the extra $100 rebate after 3 months.

So can you change the plan after 1 month and still get the rebate? (probably not?) Can you change the plan after 3 months and still get unlocked after 12 months? I'm thinking a $99 iPhone SE and the $10 a month 1GB plan seems pretty good for my father but can I switch from the $20 plan minimum they make you start with to the $10 plan?
You can switch after the first three months. I checked the terms for the rebate and it specifically says you must have, at a minimum, the $20 plan to qualify.

It depends on your local taxes and fees. For me, the $20 plan is only showing 83 cents extra in taxes, but that will vary according to your area. You can go through the checkout process and it will show you.

Thanks! But it will still then unlock on the lower plan after 9 months, right? (Total of 12)

Can we use yearly plan sim after 3 months?
To avoid losing eligibility for any applicable rebate, it's important to fulfill the required months on your initial plan before considering any possible plan changes

Don't assume. This has been asked every time when RP is running a promotion. But they never gave a clear, official answer. I remembered asking a rep, and I was told that the SIM has to be staying in the same phone for 12 months. I don't think you can activate an Ebay plan on your existing SIM.

My question is does this redpocket thing work outside the united states?
I know their website says it is not supporting international roaming, but it says WiFi calling is supported. Does that mean I can connect to a wifi network and still getting calls? Or with wifi calling, you still need to activate the international roaming?

I am pretty sure 4 years ago when I used redpocket, it was not working for international roaming even when I travelled between cities in the US, I have to update a proxy setting to make my phone work. I am not sure if this improved or not.

I switched 2 of our lines to the Mint mobile 15 usd 12months plan. I still have one line that can switch from T-Mobile corp unlimited to everything plan out.
Looks like decent deals, but RP does not have a Mexico plan. I go down 2x a year and Cricket, Boost, and Metro all have good Mexico plans. Anyone know if a Cricket or Boost sim would work in a RP iphone?

Thank you. Yes, that seems to be the best route to take. Will switch after I get my rebate to one of the lower plans offered on their website.

Thanks. After we've fulfilled the three month rebate requirement, can we then switch to an annual plan and have the phone unlocked after an additional 9 months (totaling 12 continuous months on RP)?
