It was $195 a few months ago and it was a FP deal. I was expecting around $180 for BF. But it appears not.
I have used Red Pocket GSMT for over 5 years and am planning to get two renewal kits.

Nevertheless, your point it taken. Their plans do not offer hotspot, although you can pay an extra $5/month ($60/yr) for 5GB. The 10GB plan, paid up front for 12 months, with hotspot, is $159/year all-in (taxes, if applicable, notwithstanding). So.
RP = ATT = 12GB data, 5GB hotspot (subject to confirmation), $200/yr
IM = Verizon/TMo = 10GB data, 5GB hotspot, $159/yr
If one does not need those last 2 GB and don't mind the coverage difference between networks, the ~20% savings is noteworthy. If one DOES need the full 12GB, then you're looking at stepping up to IM's 15GB plan, and the cost is higher than Red Pocket.
Thanks for sharing.
Then you have to switch again?
I'm thinking of switching to Infimobile instead of Red Pocket but it might not be worth the hassle to switch again after one year, whereas with Red Pocket I can just get the Black Friday deal every year.

I can see on the RP website that the only plans that include ANY hotspot capability are those at the $300-level and up. But the RP ebay listings make no mention about hotspotting at all - either for or against.
I know that RP responds to these posts (thanks for engaging, by the way - absolutley appreciated!) Can you clarify, specifically, which eBay plans include hotspotting and which do not? And for those that do, is ALL of the data available or only a specific number of GBs?
200MB for $45/year
500MB for $60/year
5GB for $180/year
12GB for $200/year (Black Friday Pricing)
25GB for $360/year
Which of these include hotspotting, and what is the hotspot data limit for each that does?
Not 5GB, certainly not 12GB. ZERO GB of data using your phone as a temporary hotspot.
If so, I'm done. Been a RP customer for years and years, but without the ability to use the data I'm paying for in case of an emergency - there are other options through other providers that can do this for the same price or less.
I hope I'm wrong, but I guess the ball is in RP's court to show me where the existence of hotspot data is disclosed.

Infimobile has had their $99 offer for several months, so it's not just for BF but they are promoting now of course. It does say limited time, but who knows. Also, you just never know what offers will be out there a year from now.
As I mentioned earlier, my experience with Infimobile this past 6 months has been very good. I like their account web interface, which allows managing multiple lines in one account. They have an easy to find "Port Out" link as well.
What I'm wondering is if they'll bring back their $120 5 or 8 gig plan. My wife barely uses any data and that was a fine plan for her - I'm trying to figure out if I should wait for that or go with another provider since the trend seems to point to a big fat no with that plan...

My question is - does the Black Friday plan include hotspot or not? The broader question is do ANY of the eBay plans include hotspot?
I agree at this point that you are taking a gamble if you NEED the hotspot. I've had the plan we're taking about here for a year or two, having to be bumped up over the years from how these eBay deals work with them. Hotspot always just worked and there was no mention of it ever with these plans...
Hopefully someone here has needed to renew with this and confirm that the hotspot works at this point... I don't need to renew until end of December so I can't really fully confirm at this point...
To me, dealing with redpocket was always kind of a gamble, but it has been a gamble that worked out so far for me.

Is there any known issue with Pixel phones and Infimobile? My family has three Pixel 6a phones.
I got two Red Pocket annual plans yesterday. My current RP GSMT plan has WiFi calling, international calling and Hotspot (don't know the limit). I hope it continues next year too. I posted these questions to the RP rep here and haven't heard back yet.
I am looking for a third one for my daughter who doesn't need a hotspot. Hence looking for annual options below $100. The options are Infimobile with 10 GB for $100, Lycamobile with 3 GB for $89. Others with decent data below $100?
