Reposting for visibility, as searching for 'SIM' on SL doesn't show this unless you go many pages deep.

It's an MVNO that can work on the T-Mobile or Sprint network

$2.50 a month or $30 year for a backup, ghost, emergency, or kids phone is the absolute cheapest I can find in the US

I have been using this plan for 3+ years.

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.
it has been this price for at least 5 years i believe
I have this plan and use it to track my two young kids, put it in their backpack and use an old unlocked phone. Using life360 app can tell where they are at all times

So how does that work? Forgive my ignorance but wouldn't it be a separate number for watch vs your phone?

Yes it will be separate number for watch.

What if I don't use all the minutes/data in one year? I'm currently paying $9 a month for US Mobile just to park my old phone number for those "just in case" moments where I have to verify identity on a website I forgot to change my number on. 🙃
Port it to google voice for $20 one-time fee.

Quote from WittyTeam919 :
Does all texts come through with Google Voice like the ones from id.me ?
I've used GV for my business for years. Most bank texts do not come through, but it depends on the site / business. YMMV. There have been many sites that will not allow you to use the number for 2FA/verification because it's VOIP.

I have not specifically tried ID.me.

Don't worry! Looks like the label is created in CA but the package is mailed from NJ/NY.

I am not sure how you can activate esim plan on apple watch which is not related to phone plan. On samsung it is quite easy.

I have been trying to setup my samsung watch 6 with esim but can't figure it . Keep getting error. Do you have instructions you followed?

I have bad luck with USPS shipping... I needed this a week ago, last update was May 7th estimated delivery.

I do the whole google voice thing but not all banks and other institutions happily accept voip for 2FA. Maybe I can grab something like this to primarily just be used for those situations - do they have esim?

I can't use the actual carrier sim because the banks and other institution ms take a while to verify the number - and some times I'm changing that out every 3 months.

I've had this plan for several years on an older Android, and MMS does work for me. Sometimes you have to turn on the data for them to go in/out though. With all texts, sometimes they are instant, sometimes they are delayed. But I don't get enough texts to be able to map out the patterns.

I have had issues with service on days changing over from the end of month to the beginning of new month. I am on an annual prepaid plan. Otherwise works well.

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

thanks, finally got it working, partly my fault. Getting too old for these phone deals. Just realized my main phone was on mute all this time.. no wonder I've been missing calls. EEK!

Is Hot Spot included? I have an email case open and seems resolved. Just bringing it up since the DATA is SLOW! LTE is only 10Mbps down .23up

I have had this $30 plan for a few years and have been satisfied. Recently something happened to my voice mail so I cannot use it. RP support has been working on it for three days and still cannot fix it.
