TThanks for sharing but not a great deal. It's not even lukewarm.
For example, for IP16, we are paying $500 + 240 (20 * 12) = $740 (locked for a year with a 5GB plan!).

Each provider is just appearing to offer a discount but in reality, charging high through their plans!

I would just wait for a better deal. Either way I appreciate Op for sharing this one

$20 monthly plan is very cheap unlike other carriers like AT&T with $65+, Verizon $75+ and T-Mobile with $55+ plans - $300 off is very good with no tax using AT&T as service provided with great 5G coverage https://www.redpocket.com/coverage

It doesn't matter how other offers are worse than this one. It only make sense if you intend to subscribe to Red Pocket service in the first place. Otherwise, $740 versus $799 MSRP is just a $49 saving plus you're locked for a year.

I'm currently on red pocket plan but last year when I've to make an international trip I came to know they don't have international roaming which is a bummer and somehow their wifi calling don't work for me.

I'm on Mint Mobile. $240/yr for 15GB high speed/hotspot / international text and calling, and I paid full price via Apple.com for an iPhone 16 Pro 256GB - $1184, so this offer looks like a great deal to me. Unfortunately, no easy way for me to capitalize on it, as I've got 11 months left to my 12 months of Mint.
How is this a great deal compared to what you got?

To get a similar plan (20 GB) and the exact phone, you need to pay:
829 (1129 - 300 rebate)
+ 330 (30*11 months)
= $1159!

Am I missing anything here..

It appears to you in this deal that the plan is just FREE.. but that's because you already overpaid for your phone at Apple!

Warning: I got $200 rebates from RP last year. The gift card is a virtual gift card provided by third party. Some stores like Costco asked for password and I don't have it. I didn't use it much and someone stole $90 from the gift card. I contacted the virtual gift card company but still not get the money back yet after months. So, spend the money somewhere as soon as possible after you get the card.

Are you sure prepaid plan can still unlock it after 12 months?

I've done one of Red Pocket's iPhone deals before. The rebate arrived on time, as promised, and they unlocked the phone on schedule. Overall, they were pleasant to deal with. No complaints from me.

No, service is required to be active in the device you want to unlock for 12 months continuously and uninterrupted

Yes. The prepaid annual plans will unlock it (after it has been active on RP for 3 months). However, you need to pay for three months of monthly plans first.

Thank you. One more question: is it any prepaid annual plan? I am looking to use the 1000 minutes / 1 GB data plan which is just enough for me, and it is cheaper
