A few things to know.
1. the plan only lasts 360 days, not a year.
2. renew price $30 does not include tax and fee. the tax and fee is about $1 or $2 for me.
3. If you forget to renew it when time is up, you have about 60 days to keep your number. There is an reactive fee of $1 if you forgot to renew the plan. This $1 is not a tax, not a yearly fee. It costs you $1 if you totally forget to renew the plan after 30 days.
You may want to link a credit card on RedPocket account so you get auto renew.
When I know I will have friends / family fly into US, I mail this SIM card out. I tell them to put this SIM card into their unlocked phone and call me when their flight lands at an airport. It saves $$ and make everything simple.

*Spurred me to finally check my $99 plan line and it does hard cap. Checking $60, but presumably hard capped, too.
Someone said they can't get group texts or MMS texts, but that's not been a problem for me.

Also, avoid autopay close to contract expiration when you can.

They show they will renew next month, every month, but it actually only charges per year. Apparently if you call them they fix this, but I never bothered. Have two of these, they get charged once a year automatically for many years now, although the website is a bit alarming showing that next bill is due next month at $30.

I also buy my renewal through cashback sites when there's a $2.5 bonus for purchases over $15 to offset the tax
