$60.00

Noticed new annual plans on redpocket's website, which seem to be different than the annual plans sold on eBay.

For example, the $60 annual plan on ebay has 500 Mb data,
100 Minutes Talk and 100 Text, whereas, the $60 annual plan on redpocket has 500 minutes Talk and 500 Texts along with $500 Mb data.

It is NOT a new offering. I have had it for over a year. $5/mo for 500MB is the regular price. NOT a deal!

It looks like that offer uses only T-Mobile network, convenience with RP is that you can choose any of the major networks (one that works best in your area) and then they even offer switching between carriers but it seems like old balance is forfeited and you get charged again.
In my case I keep Tracfone (Verizon) yearly 1500/1500/1500 as 2nd "backup" line for cases when there's no coverage for my main line which uses T-Mobile I can still send/receive messages which came handy quite a few times.

Good2Go will send you an AT&T SIM upon request at no cost - just make sure your phone is on AT&T's whitelist for it to work.

better than ebay. I'd consider this $5 plan either if it had softcap data or 1GB hardcap. I had this 500mb 3(?) yrs ago and had to top off 3-4 months.

Noob question. Is the 500 limit cap for the entire year, or does it reset every month?

Sadly Att is not much improvement around my area, so far Verizon is the one that has better coverage but because the pricing on their network is too much (tried Visible and wasn't impressed either maybe because they don't have priority) decided to go for cheapest option that still uses their network..

Is it easy to switch Hello mobile plans, and is the data hard capped?

I'm not sure about switching - at worst you'll have to wait until the end of your current billing cycle/monthly renewal.

Yes, they are all hard-capped except the unlimited plan.

Whether data slows or stops completely after monthly high speed bucket is used.
