yes you need to activate the phone and be on it until the time you receive the rebate. In total it may take 4 months .. after that you can switch to 1 year plan and qualify for 12 month unlock . I had ordered couple of phone before but one of them came unlocked and the other one they are strict on unlocking only after 12 month period and got unlocked after 12 months period. Hope it helps!!

Quote from battywalker :
I did this last time for iPhone 14. For those thinking about it, it was a hassle and a half to get the rebate for this, in part because their activation service was frustrating to use. The fine print says you need to have auto-pay active for the first three months (or maybe the whole time) to qualify for the rebate, but if you run into problems and have to have customer support activate your line (I think my voice line activated but internet didn't, somehow...), then they do so without auto-pay on (even if you specifically tell them to). If you are OCD like me, that downtime is gonna cause you to lose some sleep for 3 months.

Also, when the actual rebate comes in, you have to log into multiple sites to get it. Instead of sending you a Visa prepaid code by email, they send you a link to register for a third party site where you then submit another request to get a VISA prepaid card, and that card takes additional time to process your request, even though RP says on their website the whole time that your gift card is "ready."

It all worked in the end, but something to keep in mind for those who care.

*Edit: I forgot to mention, when my rebate was supposed to come in, nothing happened. I waited 5 days and started a customer chat request, and the rep told me to just wait and that it was in process. The rebate email magically appeared 1 hour after my support request. Cynical me thinks that timing is too coincidental.
Had a very similar experience, getting the 13 mini. My sign up was generally fine, but I was annoyed at the same deal happened later where I was an immediate $200 off with a $100 rebate. That's okay, I have the $200 rebate card now. I agree about the coincidental part being suspicious, I had to request an update on the card and magically got it the following day; this was after the original filling out the form to get the card.

The card itself I haven't been able to use it yet, I was trying to use it to pay for some part of the car insurance, but the progressive website wouldn't take it. IDK

Lastly, one of the things that I didn't realize, is that the phone is not only locked to Red Pocket, it is locked to specifically red pocket GSMA. I was hoping to drop down to even the smaller GSMT $30/year plan, but it's locked out of that so I just got the $60/year plan (after the first 3 months of $20/month to get the rebate).

Only $40/month is considered unlimited for the rebate? Or $20/month plan works too? It would have been sweeter if such offers come for CDMA (vzn). They will unlock phones in 60 days.
$20 works too

From the previous deal (same as this) it was mentioned that, after the 3 months to qualify for the $200 rebate, the plan can be switched to the 360day plan.

Same question as I've been on Visible for over 4 years now, but this RP deal is good/better than paying full price.

The rebate instead of bill credits is good. The 12 month device lock is cancer.
it's pretty much the same thing....I'd rather equivalent bill credits over the same number of months rather then waiting for the rebate.

Did you buy 360day GSMA $60 from Ebay and call them to renew? Thanks!

Their eBay support was actually quite responsive and helpful, after I learned that the GSMT plan wouldn't work. The plan on the account versus the plan purchased by eBay: it looked like the actual official website plan had slightly more allocation of min and text, so I just picked the one from the website and it applied no problem. When I had the wrong PIN it would just give me an error on the website, I have faith that if I had a GSMA plan the pin from eBay would have worked just fine as well.

I just ordered online from my account on their website

As an existing customer, can I use the IPhone 15 for now until the end date of the current plan and then activate the new monthly plan bundled with the IPhone?
No, when you log in, they will tell you that none of your lines are eligible for the deal.

Yes, at&t, t-moble and Verizon. But this deal is for GSM network only.
