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.

Should you have any questions or concerns, please don't hesitate to reach out via [email protected]. We look forward to serving you for years to come, and we welcome you to RedPocket Mobile!
i've been on a redpocket prepaid annual plan for a few years. does anyone have any suggestions as to why, suddenly since the last 4 months and counting... i can still recieve SMS texts and iMessage, and send them out...

but I can't make a simple phone call from the phone, AND no one can successfully call this line.

It goes from 'calling' to 'call ended'.... immediately when trying to call into said Red Pocket line.

When dialing out from the red pocket line, it says 'Call failed' immediately.

At the checkout page on RedPocket, not only do they charge sales tax in New York, they are charging more sales tax than any retailer I've seen.

For $1399 iPhone + $20 plan - $5 discount + $1 fee + $0.50 admin fee
State Sales Tax : $57.28
County Sales Tax : $64.43
Local Gross Receipts Tax : $32.88
Metropolitan Commuter Transportation District Sales Tax : $5.37
Total Taxes : $159.96

On Boost for the same $1399 iPhone
Sales and Compensating Use Tax : $56.00
Local Sales and Use Tax : $63.00
Metropolitan Commuter Transportation District : $5.25
Prepaid Wireless Surcharge : $0.90
Prepaid Wireless Communications Service Surcharge : $0.30
Taxes : $125.45

RedPocket is charging an extra $32.88 Local Gross Receipts Tax (which is a business tax, not sales tax). Directly from Apple with no cell contract is $124.16 for reference

I've been burned by RedPocket in the past. Needless to say, their service is sub-optimal and rude AF. I was about 11 months into the ownership and offered to pay off since I ported out already. Nope, just left me out to dry with a phone that was locked and forced me to re-buy their serivce again. Hell NO!

Screw US-model iPhones. I will just buy iPhone from other countries on my trips oversea ever since they remove the physical sim slot back in iPhone 14.

Correct, it was structured slightly differently. $200 off instantly, and $200 gift card after 3 months. You can switch to a lower plan after that.
when was that pre thanksgiving deal?

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
Just has to be a GSMA plan.

Trade-in values have been dropping quite a bit in the last few weeks before the new phones were announced. A good place to get best bang for your buck is check here https://www.bankmycell.com/sell/iphones
some buyers give you 14-30 days before you need to ship it. Unlocked or Verizon devices will get the highest offer.
Good info. Thanks!

Boost Phone comes unlocked? I am interested in their one year plan. Is it that we can get a new iPhone every year? Is there a thread on boost deal? Interested
No, that is different. You are thinking of the Infinite Access plan. With that plan, the phone is locked but you don't have to pay full prices upfront [1]. With this plan, you have to pay for the full prices of the phone upfront. [2]
